Duke Nukem - The Doctor who Cloned Me

This is classic Duke.  This is balls to the wall - fun in a fancy hat - Half Naked women - COMPLETELY politically incorrect ...and it just doesn't give a fucking shit...and I LOVE IT!!!

$3 on Steam!!!  You'll get 10 times your money in laughing value alone.  In this DLC, Duke puts the fun in the front seat.  Technically it isn't a 'Sandbox' which means you are still going from point A to Point B...But it feels more like a funhouse than a museum tour.  There are puzzles requiring a level of thinking.  A few times I almost looked it up. 

The old 2 weapon max has been long since bypassed (even in the main game).  You now can carry 4...with a couple of new weapons... the pregnator and the enlarger.  The only problem is that there is only one button to cycle between them.  You can, however, customize the controls to bind each slot.  Trying to cycle weapons sucks in a firefight.  I would bind 1 (the cycling weapon key) to 4 to each slot...and reallocate the laser trip mine to (say) H.  I love my PC. 

This expansion does the original 3d Justice.  I only wish they brought back the jet pack.  That`s it.  The people who crafted this game must have done so with a smile on their face from start to finish.  There are those that say Duke Nukem is a misogynistic game that objectifies women.  That it is 'out of tempo with the modern mindset'.  To those I say; it is my honor to treat my wife with dignity and respect.  If I had to explain it to you...you still wouldn't get it.  8.5/10.
