A laser sighted pistol, alien laser, shotgun, triple barreled ripper machinegun, rail gun to snipe, RPG, chaingun, devastator, freeze ray, triple stinger missile launcher, trip mines, grenades and so on. You can only carry 2 weapons and switch between them. There are quick D-pad controls for Duke’s night vision, holovision (duke clone to distract enemies), steroids and beer. The game uses a typical Unreal / Gearbox with controls to thumbstick crouch, thumbstick sprint (forward only), weapon switch, grenade, trip mine, zoom aim, fire, melee, jump and actions / reload. There are a few simple physics puzzles here and there. There is a checkpoint system and no exploration or secrets. If it didn’t sound Half-Life 2 enough for you, Duke walks and drives his way to a massive tower with a beam of light extending to the sky. Duke’s world has been taken over by aliens. Once you get over the giant hill of the first two hours, the game feels like a Half Life 2-ish game and that’s good. It just seemed like the shooting was 15% of what Duke Forever was. An interactive museum dedicated to Duke, punching, playing pinball, driving, first person platforming and a turret section. The game throws a lot of distractions at you.

Not for its movie cliches or paying women for money, but for its non linear levels with a lot of exploration and guns. Back in the 90s most of us fell in love with Duke 3D. Duke Nukem Forever is a first person shooter 15 years in the making.
