First thing, I downloaded it within 30 minutes of receiving the email about it. My notifier popped up, I got the code and downloaded the game rather quickly, and was ready to play. I get in game, set up the controls, and hit play. Intro plays, then a black screen. I can pee, but I can't see anything that's going on. After reinstalling it and re-updating my video drivers, i decide to go to bed for the time being, it was about 2 a.m.
I wake up, search to see if anyone had the same problem, it turns out, that I'm unable to run it in full screen, for whatever reason. I get in game, see the very detailed urinal I can pee in, search around for the various other things to do in the bathroom, which are pretty funny and rather entertaining. I leave the bathroom and come to a group of guys at a whiteboard. I play around with the whiteboard, which was pretty fun.
That was pretty much the most fun in the demo. I run around, dodge enemies, get a big gun, kill a big guy, and kick a field goal with his detached eye (which was pretty funny at least). Then on to the next part. I do some driving, which wasn't terribly done, then to killing aliens. The shooting system it self just felt sloppy, you take damage so easily you have to take cover all the time, while the enemies take a bit to die (this is on normal) and will keep shooting you while you try and kill them, making it take longer. The weapons were varied quite a bit for a demo, but the all felt like they were doing the same little amount of damage.
In the end, I was not impressed at all. My expectations were rather low, considering I stopped caring if this would ever be released 5 years ago, and I still wasn't impressed. You do get all the nostalgia with Dukes foul mouth and the general foul humor of the game, but that's it. When it comes to actual gameplay, it was not fun at all. Maybe I'll rent it for my xbox when it comes out, but I can't see myself buying this game based on the demo.
