Okay, so I've played this through now to what I would be guessing is about the 1/3 or 1/2 way mark and I have to say, it is an overwhelming disappointment. It's not a bad game, but it has plenty of problems and the simple fact is, a smattering of Duke-ness and jokes to keep it interesting does not detract from the fact that it feels more like a buffet of mini games stapled together by loading screens. The levels are far too linear and allow little freedom, you have to follow the tasks laid out. The enemy AI is very erratic, I don't know if this is intentional but it comes across as poor. The ego system doesn't work very well. It doesn't really feel like an FPS game to me, I think the problem is they have tried to pander to the console generation and put in all this interactive sh*t rather than keep it as a lean shooter. This should have been Serious Sam with big f**king guns and attitude. I've seen nothing really funny or crude so far, other than taking a very long slash to start the game, which lets be honest is juvenile and tired. I wanted to be shooting the sh*t up at a lapdance bar, kicking alien faces and paying to see some polygonal titties jiggle, but all the fun interactivity like that has been replaced with crap cutscene nonsense that goes on for ages or rubbish like "repeatedly mash the button until the door opens/your rip the monsters eye out/duke farts". The more I play through the more disappointed I get. It takes a good 30 minutes of crap just to get into the game, I still feel like I'm waiting for it to let me start playing properly and all I wanted was to kick ass and chew bubblegum
