Finding out if your computer can handle it would be the first step. Check your hardware and the game's minimum requirements.

No. It's a terrible game.

go to www.canyourunit.com and look for DNF on the list. It will analyse your computer and tell you if it will work. Works pretty well for me with most games.

If I'm totally honest, you probably shouldn't buy this game until its really cheap.

Yes, I think everyone should at least play DNF, no matter how bad it is. 

If you are going to buy it no matter how much it sucks (like me) then you should get the PC version. I mean, that's the version that they have been making for 15 years.

in my opinion, this would be an awesome game for $20. as it is now, do not spend $50 on it.

NO DONT BUY IT ITS FUCKING TERRIBLE

The PC version is awesome in comparison to the console versions.

I think everyone should play DNF, just so you can say you played DNF.  
Also so that anyone who hasn't can be shunned.

No. It's a terrible game.

If you want to play a good game, no. 
 
If you want to play Duke Nukem, yes.

there isn't many balls-out crazy moments in DNF.. there's isn't any interactive-able strippers too =/

right now MW3 (copter fight in NYC, firefight @ NYSE) looks more like what Duke would've done..

You'd have more fun watching a $50 bill get flushed down the toilet.

It has better load times on PC, and (arguably) sharper graphics.
 
Same game, though. And not particularly optimized. Plus, as far as I can tell, you can't edit the config file in any meaningful way.

It is the best version, but of course that depends on your PC specs. Next time post the specs in the OP or if you want, later as a reply so we can tell you for sure

If you are going to get this game by all means get it on PC.    I've got it  maxed on PC and it actually doesn't look half way bad.    

if you dont know if you can run a game on PC (especially one like duke nukem), you cant. 
 
just rent it on xbox if you absolutely have to, having it on PC isnt gonna lessen the shittyness.  believe me.
