Precisely as bad as everyone says, but it's also just dull as hell. It's like the slacker kid who waited til 5 minutes before the class project was due to hand it in. In fact, if this had been a student project (or a fan game), I might've been more charitable toward it. It's also amusing how much better "Serious" Sam Stone is at being Duke Nukem than Duke himself; Duke is essentially an entirely unoriginal hack, with zero charm to boot. In fact, DNF may be one of the defining Hack works of art of our age.
