The combat, however, was often pretty easy to complete on the Hard Difficulty.
So, it's a strange mixture, but as a 35 yr-old, I laughed a lot while I played.
Also, some of the jokes are from the 1990s (Bill Clinton) while others are more contemporary (Leroy Jenkins). It's definitely not a game you'd want your mother to watch you playing. Duke's rude humor and the silly environments carry the game. Is that what 3D Realms planned back in 1998 when they began this project? I'm not sure, but it's how it feels now. **Entertainment value: 7/10** I went into DNF thinking it was a shooter satire or self-parody rather than a serious attempt at a modern shooter, and that worked really well.

But those interested in graphics or more polished titles with tighter, combat to combat scripting like the Call of Duty series might want to wait till this one is on sale. I'd recommend this to fans of the Half-life series who don't mind a varied pace. Overall, it's a remarkably fun, un-PC game and despite the lack of polish in many areas, makes for a uniquely hand-crafted experience that stays with you. The level geometry is mostly for the low end and while static meshes are detailed, this is a game that's meant to run better than it looks. Post-processing effects often tend to miss the mark and some explosions and weapon effects don't always look too good while other effects and dynamic soft shadows look very nice. Graphics are a mixed bag as Vegas looks like a dull attempt at realism and many outdoors areas in general don't have the vibrancy of most indoor levels, which are rendered well. Duke's ego, itself a parody of regenerating health systems, provides some respite from the occasionally punishing combat and brutal enemy characters. Boss fights provide unique challenges and end in amusing fatalities in keeping with the series. The separately mapped explosives and powerups make for clever tactics.

The 12 hour SP campaign is unusually compelling, has some great moments and the interactive ego boosters you find are rewarding.
