Default Re: Duke Nukem Forever

I played through the campaign on normal difficulty in 8 hours.

I'd rate the campaign 45 out of 100.

+It's Duke (while it doesn't deserve to be)
+Interactive objects / Minigames are nice to have around (some people dig, some don't)
+Some small puzzles are okay
+Couple of jokes were nice
+Stage diversity
+Combat is enjoyable at points...

-...but the combat is too often a scripted encounter
-Scripted sections in general
-Piperun
-Can only carry 2 primary weapons at a time
-Weapons available at a location are usually indicative of what the combat encounter is like
-Many weapons are dull / Lack balls
-Regenerating health
-Bossfights are boring rocket fests
-Most buttons and such related to progression are highlighted
-No secrets
-No point in exploring / Can't explore
-Mostly very easy (due to regenerating health) but has a couple of spots where you can die a few times
-Modernizing a classic FPS game can be a few steps backwards
-No replayability
