Many of the weapons from Duke 3D make a return. You can activate a boost, you’ll have to drive off ramps, and you can ram into foes. There are numerous sequences where Duke will have to drive a vehicle and they do control pretty well. Drinking beer temporarily increases your defense. Returning from Duke 3D are the steroids which temporarily increase your melee damage and Holoduke which can be used to distract enemies. There are items you can acquire and store that can prove to be useful during combat. Why would you want to do any of these things you might ask? Because interacting with certain things will permanently increase your Ego. You can pick up and throw objects, write or draw on things, piss in urinals, make photocopies of your ass, play games like air hockey, pinball, and alien abortion. Just like in Duke Nukem 3D, Forever encourages you to interact with things in the environments. His health is represented by the Ego meter on the HUD and it will regenerate after taking damage. Killing aliens is not as fun as it should be.ĭuke can run around, crouch, jump, perform melee attacks, execute downed enemies, utilize Duke Vision to see in dark areas, and carry up to four weapons at a time. Some of the jokes and dialogue did make me chuckle. Honestly, as juvenile and offensive as the game attempts to be, it doesn’t really bother me. John who reprises his role as Duke and many of Duke’s one-liners are humorous. The voice acting fits the juvenile tone but most of the performances are pretty forgettable and many of the soldiers are portrayed as macho idiots.

The babes are literally treated as sex objects and the game isn’t shy about it, either. Duke Nukem Forever contains a lot of juvenile humor and it’s in your face constantly.

Proton, is creating a robotic army of Duke clones. Duke awakens in a laboratory and after escaping, he discovers his old nemesis, Dr. The plot in The Doctor Who Cloned Me DLC takes place directly after the events of Forever. Aliens invade, kidnap babes, and Duke sets out to stop them. The plot is almost the same as it was in the previous game. Although, he is assisted by EDF Soldiers from time to time. Of course Duke doesn’t listen and is basically a one-man army. The aliens return but the President orders Duke not to engage them. Years after saving the world from the alien invasion in Duke Nukem 3D, Duke is a celebrity with an ego that’s through the roof and he resides in Las Vegas. Well according to what I read, they were approached by 3D Realms who requested they help Triptych Games finish up the game. After multiple game engines, some conflict with Take-Two, and layoffs at 3D Realms, Gearbox got involved.

For this review, I played the PC version and I’ll also be covering The Doctor Who Cloned Me DLC. Duke Nukem Forever was released for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in June, 2011. It was worked on by multiple developers but it’s Gearbox Software’s logo on the box and was published by 2K Games. Being a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D, people expected greatness and if you saw some of the trailers that released over the years, it was looking good. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend.Duke Nukem Forever was in development hell for a very long time. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke's life that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a badass while doing it.

The alien hordes are back and only Duke can save the world, again. Put on your sunglasses and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure.
