Duke Nukem Forever for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I must say that first off, I was pretty excited to see that the game finally had come out. I've been a fan of Duke for quite a long time, and figured like most people, the game would never come out. I eagerly put the game into my system, and it had a data install. No big deal. Then 20 minutes later, I was ready to play.

If there is one thing this game does well at is excessive loading times. I haven't played a recent game with this bad of loading times in such a long time. And you would think that this wouldn't be an issue with the massive install.

Graphically, the game has very dated visuals and just comes off as cheesy. The humor has lost its edge after being dormant for so long. Maybe I just grew up a lot in those 15 years. The voice acting is also done very poorly.

Game play wise, it feels like I'm playing a shooter that would have been good 15 years ago. The controls are sloppy, the movement sucks, and the weapons and accuracy make no sense to me. Some enemies die with one shot to the torso from a pistol, others take 6 shotgun shells to the head. Keep in mind I'm talking about the PigCops.

Long story short, Duke has surely passed his prime. The only reason I give this game a 3 out of 10 instead of a 1, is the fact that it actually came out.

As a Duke fan this was a real disappointment. The game loads on to the hd for about ten min the first time. You would think this means faster loads between scenes, but no. Every cut scene takes about a min to load and it also take forever everytime you die. I got so fed up with it I returned the first day I got it. One great reason to rent vs buying.
