Metro GameCentral : Duke Nukem Forever Review

GameCentral writes "The most delayed title in video game history is finally on shop shelves so how does it fare against modern first person shooters?"

I didn't really like the game but this is a little too harsh.

SantistaUSA4715d ago

I agree, the game is really bad, but I would give at least a 6. Wished Gearbox would had built it from the ground up.

You cant measure the game by today's standards. Think of it as a really old game you use to have but now have the chance for a play through.

Fuck this review and all these reviews the give these scores. I've been playing for a few hours and I'm having fun and I think its funny as hell. Yes the graphics aren't the best and there are some glitches but that doesn't warrant a 2/10.

I have actually been pleasantly suprised by how good the game is. I thought it was going to be Max Hazard terrible but it still has the charm. The Duke Nukem puzzles are awesome and there is some decent level design in the game.

Granted I am forcing every possible graphics advantage and am running a widescreen fov with dsiabled depth of field hack. The game looks pretty damn good with all of this enabled. The main thing that detracts from it is that hideous field of view and the depth of field effect is the worst implementation I have EVER seen.

I couldn't imagine playing this game on the console. Without mods and the speed of the mouse I don't see it being fun at all.

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

Snookies12601d ago

It is pretty amazing, I remember being so hyped that they covered the Duke theme back when it happened haha. I still quite enjoyed Forever though personally.

Venoxn4g600d ago

"so wrong yet so right"

Only a few will know what Im talking about lol :D

Wow, that advanced lighting makes a huge difference to the visuals. I get that Gearbox tried to slap everything together and release a finished product. But it seems like they cut out a lot of content that would have made the experience more enjoyable. That's a shame.

Number1TailzFan642d ago

Nerfed due to consoles.. and not the first time it has happened.

-Foxtrot643d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

Number1TailzFan642d ago

Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.

XiNatsuDragnel643d ago

Devs nerf a game man best quote I've ever heard.
