Duke Nukem Forever video (NSFW language)

I've only played through the first few levels and it just brings back a lot of memories.  I'm enjoying it, but it's nothing spectacular, nor it is the biggest failure known to man as most of the reviews would lead you to believe.  I didn't expect a tier 1 shooter, just a little romp through yesteryear and it seems to be that game.  The loading times are curious, though.  I wonder if they made them intentionally long as part of the gag.
I'm stopping play on this until I can pick it up at a decent discount somewhere, just not for $50.  More like about $20.

Unlikely since they're quite short on the PC version.  How long are they on the consoles?

Dervacumen:
I'm playing the PC version, but it's not exactly kosher so I don't know if the load times are quicker with a retail version.  I couldn't find a demo and I won't buy anything without trying it after being burned too many times.  That's why I uninstalled it and will buy it when I see the right price.  But the load times between levels or even if you die and restart at the latest checkpoint is something like just under two minutes.  Not horrible, just much longer than I'm used to nowadays.  Get to see a lot of hints during that time, tho.

That is pretty long for being installed on the HD.  Just timed a few loads on my comp and its 15-20 seconds to load a level the first time, and 5-10 seconds reloading after a death.

Now I have something more to look forward to.  That's good news.
