Once past the initial Locker room and subsequent Boss Fight its onto a high speed 4×4 race thru canyons flattening aliens along the way. The final part of the demo consisted of a battle with aliens and one of their ships as you search for fuel. This really showed the fun aspect of the games FPS side. Brute force and humour all the way. This doesnt mean that Duke Nukem Forever is a mindless rampage, plenty of thought has to be applied to make it through various stages with mini puzzles.

And this is probably one of the more stunning elements of the demo… Its actually playable and enjoyable. The mix of puzzles, brute force weaponry and sick humour is everywhere.. Its the Duke Nukem of old and “then some”.

One element i enjoyed in the demo is the fact that the developers, Gearbox, were not afraid to take the mickey. They realise this has been a 12 year development cycle which has left the franchise with the dubious title of “vaporware” a number of times, yet they have finally delivered a decent gaming experience.

There is also the promise that this is a game that will not be completed in a 4 hour gaming session, its got a long story line and plenty of environment to explore. If you remember Duke Nukem 3D and enjoyed it, then you will love this title. Its a faithful sequel to the original with expanded storyline and gameplay. I’ve not had this much fun for years.
