    Like booting up a mediocre run-and-gunner from the mid-Nineties. [Issue#109, p.114]

    Duke Nukem: Critical Mass is a terrible game. Forget it, wait for the big return.

    The name of the game is just wrong. It should be called Critical Disaster instead of Critical Mass.

    Despite good intentions and admirable attempts to mix up its gameplay, Critical Mass is a real mess that fails on nearly every level.

    Shoddily made, uglier than Ugly McUglyson and an incredibly frustrating game. [June 2011, p.102]

    Ugly, hard to handle and definitely not fun to play, Duke Nukem: Critical Mass probably is the worst thing a video game has to offer.

    Not a game for gamers but this game would simply be for someone who is collecting the Duke Nukem saga in case they want a game with Duke for their DS.
