Duke Nukem Forever brings back the king of action in the highly anticipated game set to pummel players with unprecedented interactivity, variety, realism, and Duke's specal whoop-ass brand of humor. The first in-house Duke Nukem game by 3D Realms since Duke Nukem 3D. Powered by the Unreal Engine 1 Technology, Duke Nukem Forever 2001 delivers an intense First Person Shooter experience, with stunningly detailed characters in expansive interactive maps. Motion captured animation and realistic area-sensitive damaged take realism to scary new heights, and make picking off those aliens bastards all the more fun.
