This game has had ALOT of bad reviews, I expected bad reviews anyway, any game that takes 15 years to produce, will have an impossible amount of hype to live up to, so i've picked out a few nice "actual normal person/player" comments which were replies to "bad reviews":
Duke Nukem is one of my favourite games ever, for the last 15 years, me and my mates have been playing Duke Nukem, our favourites being Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, and Duke Nukem 64, we used to play Multiplayer together for hours and hours on end, even now when my mate comes down to stay the weekend we sit and play Duke Nukem 3D and do a level each.
Duke is the one and only muscle-bound godlike and foul-mouthed, 1-man-army of FPS games, if Chuck Norris tried to roundhouse kick the Duke, the Duke would rip of his head and shit down his neck, whilst calmly puffing a cigar and reading a paper.
For anyone not brainwashed by the present media and bad criticism, Duke Nuke Forever is a classic Duke game, I am only 3 hours into the game, and I am loving it, you are sure to get a laugh from Dukes never-ending 1-liners such as when a EDF Soldier offers Duke some body armor, Duke replies: "Power armors for pussies..." There is also a fun amount of interactive element to the game, from checking yourself out in the mirror, playing slot machines, throwing hoops, to just throwing random things around, some of which will win "Trophies" (PS3 achievements).
Graphics: One of the things I was actually really surprised about, but in a good way, the graphics are not over the top, I personally don't like when one of a games selling points is next-generation graphics, detail and special effects, when it comes to gameplay i'm old fashioned and it's great to be reminded not to care for visual breakthroughs and instead focus on enjoying the game for it's gameplay and fun, it makes me feel like picking up where I left off, instead of thinking like a commercial sheep "Wow, the graphics are so cool!" I am thinking "Hahaha, what's he gonna say next?!" while running around trying to figure things out and tearing alien scum to pieces!
Weapons: I have only tried 5 different types of weapons so far I am already satisfied with the firepower, honestly, it's hilarious and such a rush to send a Pigcop flying backwards into walls/objects with the Shotgun! I can't wait to pick up and test out some new guns. The pipe bombs are deadly! Very effective against a group of Pigcops charging you, also great for tossing at Assault Troopers [Assault Troopers use jetpacks, and teleport around] and exploding in mid-air next to them.

Vehicles: Although I am sure there are plenty more vehicles to use, i've only used the remote control car so far, and it's a pretty nifty little buggar! For me vehicles is one of the neat advancements which previous Nukems didn't have, which adds a little more variety in the game, and of course fun!

Bosses: I'll keep this brief so there are no spoilers, however I will say i've done 2 bosses already, which is satisfying and although fairly straight forward to fight, you still need to stay alert, when you finally kill them "Duke-Style", you should get a laugh out it.


As a true Duke fan, i'm giving this: 8/10 rating, I haven't finished the game, but I have a feeling by the end of it, i'll be changing it to a personal 10.
