A disastrous return for Duke Nukem after fifteen years of chaotic production, dated humour, choked levels and stone-age AI. A few arcade moments work, the rest is embarrassing. The saga is durably wounded.
An FPS with a legendarily chaotic development spread over more than ten years, Duke Nukem Forever became an object of curiosity as much for its bawdy humour as for its harsh critical reception. This Europe and Asia edition is a dual-territory pressing, the Asian component coming from a limited PS3 market. Its desirability rests on that gaming-vaporware notoriety and the scarcity of the Asian facet.
