    Fans of the Duke get quite a few hours of enjoyable and varied gameplay, new bossfights and more. But if you didn´t like Duke Nukem: Forever, then the Doctor won´t change your opinion.

    If you enjoyed the previous game, than you'll get a kick out of this game. I did find this game considerably easier than Duke Nukem Forever and when it came to entertainment, both are definitely tops, especially for Duke Nukem fans.

    The developers finally get to piece some original content together that feels surprisingly cohesive, unlike the lopsided campaign in the original.

    The gameplay is a little better than the original game. A lot of this has to do with the experience being more streamlined but if driving sections and first person platforming frustrate you, The Doctor Who Cloned Me won't change your mind.

    The Doctor Who Cloned makes fun of everything from Call of Duty: Black Ops to Barbie and actually offers a few good laughs, but it also has the same stiff gameplay and mediocre graphics as the core game. This is for fans only.

    It's possible you might be picking up The Doctor Who Cloned Me in order to get a glimpse of what Gearbox is planning to do with the franchise for its inevitable reboot. If that's the case, you'll be disappointed: this campaign is the work of Triptych Games, a studio formed to help finish Forever back in 2009. While the new content's got the odd decent joke and the occasional smart encounter, it's lacking the sharp design wit that characterised Gearbox's own download work on Borderlands.

    Unless you unequivocally loved Duke Nukem Forever, there's no reason to invest in this DLC campaign. It offers more of the same, without any noteworthy additions or improvements. Combine that with some obvious graphical glitches and odd bugs, and there's little left to salvage the overall impression.

    We believe Duke still has at least one good game left in him, but regrettably, this DLC isn't it.

The textures have been improved slightly, but not much else has changed visually. The good thing about this content is that is follows on from where the previous story left off, which is good for some people who thought the last ending was "not worth waiting for". Instead of creating a brand new plot, it connects with the original, making it a long, original experience. We are presented with two new weapons and new stat enhancers to renew the game. It also comes with 4 new multiplayer maps, which are structured much better than the current maps. I personally think that there are more people playing the multiplayer and I have found it much easier to find matches. If you are a Duke fan, you should definitely be downloading this.… Full Review »

Perhaps I'm a sucker for punishment, but I even went back through on the hardest difficulty despite the circa 30 second load times every time I died.

    The engine is rubbish, but the game itself wasn't TOO bad.

    The Doctor Who Cloned Me has definitely been better put together than the original game. It's more of the same formula, but is true to form with some laughs and some driving sections that were fun!

    Much like DNF itself, now that I've finished it on Hard and nailed all the achievements there's not much point in going back and doing it all again, but if you enjoyed DNF enough to finish it, you will not be disappointed with The Doctor Who Cloned Me. It's better, straight up! And the final boss fight was pretty darn nifty!    … Full Review »
