Duke Nukem. Decisions decisions

Been thinking of picking up Duke Nukem Forever, but I have been seeing some really bad reviews. :( DN3D was one of my favorites, is Duke Nukem Forever, aside from the updated graphics, on par? Hate to spend hard earned cash only to be disappointed.
It was broke, so I fixed it.
The trick is to get the next one. No matter what DNF will suck. For the next version, there will not being any hype to live up to and the game can focus on the code. Heck, it might even break new ground instead merely being a FPS clone.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

I will answer this question, no, it's not really on par, and there's one major reason. The levels allow NO freeplay and NO exploration. You are forced to take a very obvious path from A to B. DN3D was not this way.

False, it's a lot of guilty pleasure fun.
Possibly, but ask yourself is it worthy of the Duke? ;P
It's an OO world.

Oooh..two strikes! I loved the exploration and interaction with the objects in the game envirionment. I may wait for it to be marked down...

There are some interactions, but they are painfully obvious :(

or just painful : poop interaction is the highlight of the game.

Microwaving rats wasn't too obvious. Wonder if it will let you microwave poop.....

Given the smell of what some people microwave in this office, that could be an improvement.

I have it on the XBox and it is one of the worst games I have ever played - it's very linear, the guns are crap, the aiming is useless, you often get killed because you end up inside some monster so you can't damage them but they can damage you. You need to take cover a lot but there is no cover system. It's just an awful game.

If you have to see the end of 14 years long misery, then buy it. If you want to get it for gameplay and you're fun old-school shooters, then don't. In that case you better bet on Sam.

The Duke isn't about guilty pleasure; he's about hard-ass -- correction: He's the definition of hard-ass.
