The day before I was gonna pick it up two of my friends told me not to get it only because of what they heard from others. I still ended up getting it since I have collected the other duke nukem's + have made covers for them. What little I have played of DNF I so far enjoy playing it alot. it reminds me of how a lot of the old classic fps games were that I love and still play to this day.

That's exactly how I felt playing it. I actually just finished the game (The credits are still rolling. Rock covers of Duke Nukem's theme song FTW. :P ), and I have to say that literally my only complaint is that the game ends. I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Not once did anything feel tedious or unnecessary. I can't even fathom how biased against Duke IGN and GameSpot must have been in order to berate the game as much as they did. I found this game to be one of the most enjoyable FPS games that I've played in probably a decade. It is so one-of-a-kind. I can't believe critics hate this game.

Best part? After you beat the game, YOU UNLOCK CHEATS!! Invincibility, one-hit kills, big heads, and the ability to change the DNF freeze ray to the sweet freeze ray from DN3D. I literally cannot remember the last time I saw a modern-day game give you cheats. Cheats are a thing of the past. THIS is the kind of respect for old school games that 3D Realms had. It's too bad that they're out of business now, but Gearbox did a fine job picking up where they left off.

Oh yeah, one more bonus for beating the game: A SOUNDBOARD. Can you say Duke Nukem prank calls anyone? ;D

tl,dr; This game is awesome.
