    The humor didn't even work for me. I found it just... uncomfortable and offensive. Yes, Duke Nukem has traditionally been a pastiche of super macho masculinity cranked up to laughable proportions, but this just... came off really wrong. It came across as much more hateful, like modern Family Guy jokes about women.

    To be fair, I stopped playing about 5 minutes into the "remote control car" mini-game.

    "Awesome Video Games" did a review that covers it pretty well. It's a couch full of people who are VERY excited to play Duke Nukem, sincerely and genuinely so, and as the review goes on, those smiles fade away until you just see a bunch of disappointed mugs staring at the screen.

    Is the game as bad as Aliens: Colonial Marines? No. Is it glitchy to a fault? No, it's pretty competently coded, but it IS very disappointing.
    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
