Preview: Action game for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360: Duke Nukem Forever: Hail to the King?

Some consider themselves celebrities love their portraits, Googling your name, delight in itself Duke Nukem such ego-trips are not unknown. But they are not fulfilling, and his two mistresses him walk slowly up the ghost. He just wants to kill as a guest on a talk show some time as it happens: The aliens are back! During include U.S. President and Ministry of Defence, a standstill agreement with the seemingly peaceful aliens can not fool the Duke. When the scheming aliens abduct also his playmates, the fun finally listened to - Duke Nukem swears revenge. Whether with his bare fists or heavy small arms, he did not hesitate long.


The Duke buttoned before the aliens in the classic shooter style, if you cross his path. Sure, he always has a pithy slogan on the lips! Yes, Duke has probably missed the Alien hunting! After the first contact with the enemy, he exclaims: "Oh yeah! If it breathes, I can kill it. "Then he shows a downed space ship the middle finger and throws itself a steroid, to fully turn up for a few minutes and all be wrecked.

But the Duke also bakes bread rolls and gives off a good hero. As he is the reduction of aliens beam, it shrinks in no time on the size of a toy action figure. Does not matter though, because he jumps abruptly in a radio-controlled model car and takes the helm. He escapes his enemies or driving them impudently over the foot.

With rapid drifts and daring jumps, he hangs off the pests. In between, he also needs to get out and run times to plant, bar stools and pool tables and jump as if he was Super Mario's best friend. After a few minutes he reached the magnification beam and grows back to normal size - thereby his playful manner and the little voice in the helium-sound are good.

Maybe the multiplayer mode offers even in remote-controlled race cars - until now, developers Gearbox wanted not to be äußern.14 years have passed since the last Duke appeared. What to expect from players so if Duke Nukem Forever "on 6 May 2011 is released? The answer is simple: Duke Nukem, such as gaming veterans who know him - without experiments and posh.

The graphics are solid, precise control, the levels are straight forward and transparent. Never mind, crucial to a Duke game, the continuous action and the humor. Subtlety is not asked, coarse obscenities are trump. If you like wisecracking, à la Schwarzenegger, Van Damme or Seagal, also loves the Duke.

The guy is loud, self-centered, harsh in language and in substance. But who wants him different? The Duke happens to the Duke! For 20 years.
