Sounds like they have banned fun in California. I don't know how you guy's can stand to live there.

Anyway, I should probably buy and play this game at some point.

Been playing this now for a few days and it's quite lengthy especially if you take your time exploring and looking for secrets (there are a ton of those).

Another thing to mention is that there is a very decent variety to weapons and moves you can do. Combine that with the upgrades and powers and this game does not suffer from fatigue as fast as most shooters do, despite it's hefty length. trying out different combos also helps.

If people we're looking for what would an old school shooter be like today, but made well and with love, (and updated with some conveniences) this is it. It gets rid of the bad old shit and keep the good old shit.This is what I feel like what the new Duke Nukem should have been, minus the terrible, plus on good mechanics and interesting levels, variety, pleasant to look at.

As others have already stated in the comments this is definitely worth the $40 asking price, imo. I went in skeptical, but the game won me over in time.

Mechanically I'd say Bulletstorm is better, but Shadow Warrior has a better personality.

I'm into the 3rd chapter and it's been a loong time since i've spent a major part of my Sunday just playing a game.

Very addictive, fun, funny, great combat, amazing environments and some good soundtrack. Get it!

Just grabbed this now as this game is currently free on Steam (though for today only, it seems). Little late to the party, but looking forward to getting into it!
