While I do enjoy DNF for what it is, I do have minor gripes.

One: I would've preferred they kept the Vegas stripe levels at night. I get that going with day is off the normal path. But, there's a reason most want to show Vegas at night. The lights and atmosphere it creates can be great.
I think after you get knocked out by the debris of the mothership, they should've stuck with the idea of Duke waking up hours later and it being night.

Two: The aftermath in Vegas.
The destruction of Vegas from the top of the Lady Killer, and even later in the game looks immense. But, when you're down on the stripe... it feels rather slim.
To really sell the destruction and horror of the alien invasion... they needed to show more.
More dead innocents, burnt out cars, blood... violence... screams in the distance. A true sense of dread and isolation in between the gunfire and scattered commands of the EDF forces.

Three: More combat. This is one thing the game definitely does need. For a large scale alien invasion, there's really very little actual combat.

But, the full game combined with the DLC... I really like. And I honestly feel, had it been released in 2007/2008 as it is, people would've reacted much more positively to it.
