You’re just falling and pulling a lever, and whether you live or die depends on some accident of luck and timing.

Pulling the lever just slows the elevator and overheats the brake, at which point it disengages and the elevator starts falling at full speed again.Īside from a view of the Vegas skyline out the windows to the right, there’s no real indicator of your progress down the shaft, so success or failure can feel completely arbitrary. The elevator-brake sequence is a strange, dull roadblock in what’s supposed to be an extreme first-person shooter, but it might not have stood out so badly if the game had made it clear exactly what the hell it is you’re supposed to do. First you’ve got to pull a handbrake and stop an elevator from falling! You’ve got a gun now, and you’re ready for some badass alien-killing. When jumping in front of a mirror, though, would it really have been so much trouble to make Duke move his arms? Just a little?Īll right, so you’ve made it through the uneventful casino stroll, you’ve punched your way through the Duke Cave, and you’ve shot down alien dropships in the overlong stationary-turret sequence. Jumping in frontĮven for what could be considered a two-year-old game (production originally halted in mid-2009), DNF isn’t exactly pretty. Couple that with their corpselike stares and the way they stick around for way too long (delaying DNF’s supposedly over-the-top action so you can watch them comment on the news), and they set the stage perfectly for the dull stroll through Duke’s casino that makes up the game’s second level.
