SpielSpass pearl with technical defects ...

I bought DNF without playing his predecessors or ever known. Clearly, because of the running gags ("Duke Nukem Forever is determined") is known, at least the history of the development of the current part.
While I was a bit disappointed, but then I was drawn into its spell, prevail only because of the stark contrasts partially.

As there would be, for example, the variety in the levels, I find them excellent because will not be bored or feel "I have just now seen." On the other hand, the variety in the opponent diversity is simply not there, there are about 6-7 different enemy types (not including bosses). And that's actually a bit monotonous in the long run. Just because the season but pleasantly long (about 13-15 hrs.) But would have to install a few more.

Some passages are loosened me even more or less severe puzzles. Although not require IQ of 130, but to ponder one comes but the one time or another. The Balancing the difficulty is wonderful succeeded, it is challenging (just the Boss Fights) but never unfair.

What the game but definitely runterreisst is the technical implementation. Although I cry not because of rum "after 12 years of development, would have to come out more", but a little bit better the work would certainly be allowed to fail. Especially since you have to admit that it was ultimately only 2 years, as 3D Realms had almost completely start from scratch. This is reflected, as already mentioned in the opponent down diversity, but also in the level design. This is but then become rather carelessly, you get not even feel like looking for something off the beaten track. Due to the tubular design, the possibilities in the direction but anyway limited.

The biggest drawback, however, is by far the load times. Despite the installation level (stretches) invite all about 30-40 seconds. This is now been entirely preventable and therefore nice to talk at all.

What the Duke, however, the 4 stars is easy to bring you the fun when the Alien brood in the Ars ** interacts with him, his ego (it is in the game is his health) to boost and of course to listen to the Babes as the Duke adore. The sayings are simply cool and dry. Sure, absolutely macho and clichéd, but it makes fun nunmal. The German Synchro is also well done as you could win the German Bruce Willis spokesman.

If in fact another part of DN be in planning, I hope this will work better in the art, then perhaps there is also a 5 star rating.
