Not so bad if the section is beatable after only a few go’s, but when you have, for example, a boss to defeat (I wont mention the fact that the first boss took me 30-plus attempts, oops, i just did) it’s really not something you can ignore. Every time you die you have to wait on average 30 to 40 seconds to restart the section you were on from the last checkpoint. I will end my little rant on the subject of load screens, as DNF has some of the worst I have experienced in a long time. This is another fine example of poor testing. I did, however, find a few times I got stuck in the scenery and had to restart from my last checkpoint. You move and look using the analogue sticks and shoot using the R1 button etc. Now, the controls are actually not too bad, pretty basic and similar to most first person style games of the modern age. Many of them I could not possibly repeat here, I don’t want a hoard of angry punters bashing my door down for telling their kid’s to **** Off. The audio is not too bad, and Duke does come out with his usual amusing quotes every now and again. I am not to sure what beta testers do nowadays? Do they just eat pizza and get stoned forgetting that they are not there to play a game for enjoyment, and are actually there to relay any bugs and issues back to the developers and programmers? There is a load of screen tearing clearly visible a major let down in any game. Now before you start yelling at me, I know graphics are not everything, however, they should at least look pretty good. This is immediately noticeable from the start. They are not up to the standard you would expect from a modern day game. ![]() The graphics are a large let down, they are the kind of graphics you may have expected a PS3 launch title to have. Now, first off, let me tell you about the graphics. I have to try and keep this review clean for the kids (which is hard for this game believe me). Right from the start you are landed straight into some classic Duke action with a big gun, some aliens to kill and two women dressed like school girls giving you, ahem!, shall we say, a happy ending. My first impressions of the game were very mixed to say the least. All I cared about was the beer, guns and women. I was so excited I did not even bother to look at all the bits and bobs you get with the ‘Balls of Steel’ Special Edition. As soon as I had it in my hands, I tore it open to find, yes, you guessed it, the mother of all sequels. Since I put my money down, I have waited eagerly for months for the sound of my doorbell and the delivery man holding out a package for me. So you can imagine my excitement and amazement when I heard that, at last, the game had actually been listed for pre-order. The production of DNF has been canceled and resumed so many times over the years, I had forgotten it was actually still in the works. Well the wait is now over. I can officially say the Duke is Back, and he is badder than ever. Oh! how we have waited. With Duke Nukem Forever being the much troubled sequel to 3D Realms 1996 classic Duke Nukem 3D,many of you may have forgotten, or never expereinced, how much fun the old Duke games were. We have beer, guns, cheesy comments and big breasted girls.
