Skip it if you're not a diehard Duke fan.

I was disappointed in the demo, but I decided to rent it still and I'm glad I did. While it isn't anywhere near the level of awesomeness I was hoping for after all these years, it's still Duke. It has some boobies and lots of immature toilet humor, and I'm a fan of both those things.
The things that suck the most about the game are the long loading times really punish you for dying because you gotta sit through them each time, a couple of times the game froze on me, and also the multiplayer is just garbage. I played Duke Nukem 3D online on the Sega Saturn (and XBLA), and played Duke Nukem 64 and Duke Nukem Zero Hour split-screen a lot back in the day and they were all fun, but I just can't get into the multiplayer on this one.
One minor complaint is the pool table and pinball mini-games. The physics on them are pretty bad, and I can't figure out why they bothered to include them but it doesn't matter and probably isn't even worth mentioning because nobody will be spending much time on them.
