It's Reeeeeeeally Bad.

I am a big fan of the last gen Duke games. I knew going into this that is was not going to be a graphical powerhouse but remained optimistic since the developer had such passion for bringing us back Duke. Well, they failed. the only thing, and I mean ONLY thing good about the game is the voice acting. John St.John does a great job of delivering one-liners and is funny as always. The rest...egads..
Level design is a joke. The death animations are a joke. The textures are a joke. The AI is a joke. The gun play is a joke. I just realized how far games have come since the last Duke was out on PC. Maybe I am just spoiled by this generation's offerings but I could not get past one hour of Duke. It is sooooooo bad that I simply cannot force myself to play anymore. Shame, too. I loved the old ones. It is simply so boring and uninspired that it feels like a chore to progress.
I really wanted to like this game.
