Destroy All Humans is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever to be made by humans (who didn't get destroyed, ba dum-tish). Not because of reasons such as graphics, physics etc etc, but because it was fun. Created by Pandemic Studios and published by THQ, Destroy All Humans! was a hit seller on the Xbox and PS2.


Never before could a player create so much havock, without a grin the size of a small country plastered across their face. Set in the U.S.A in 1958, the story with sets itself around your typical "alien invaders section 8" mumbo jumbo, but time for real.




You play as a bad-ass killer Alien called Crypto, who out to collect human brain stems so he can take them back to his home planet for a reason I can't recall (this may sound bad, but the story is kind of vague). Armed with a hilarious array of weaponry, such as the


Anal Probe: Not what you think, the weapon literally suck an enemies brain out of their ass, killing them (obviously).


Disintegrator Ray: Never before was burning your enemies to ashes so much fun, but this time it was in style.


Zap-o-matic: This weapon stunned your enemies, allowing you to anal probe them (no sick thoughts please :p) or dispose of them in any other means neccesary.




And what use is an alien invasion if they don't have their own flying saucer, which Crypto of course did, just this one packed quite a punch, and it doesn't take a genius to work out what these weapons did:


Death Ray: Point, Shoot, Kill, end of.


Abducto Ray: Fling your enemies everywhere in a hilarious manner causing devastation to the people below.


Sonic Boom: An imaginative new weapon, allowing addicitive destruction of anything with four walls.


Destructo Beam: If the Death Ray was "point, shoot, kill" then this was point, shoot and HOLY **** I'VE BLOWN A HOLE IN THE EARTH! This weapon alone brings hours of fun.




Overall, I think Destroy All Humans! is one of the neatest games of the 21st Century, and at a mere £10 at most game stores, well worth it.

Short and sweet... which is nice and all, but reviews need more girth and detail, way more than "This is what you do, and I like it". If you need an idea of how reviews should be written, feel free to check out any of the others that've been posted.

yah
this is the worst excuse in the history of the planet
bt everything I wrote there is all I can remember, I havn't played the game in about 3 years, I defo remember liking it, but if someone wanted depth about the game they should of checked out this awesome site that not many people know about called www.wikipedia.com

and seriously people, there is no point slamming me for "advertising" wikipedia as that would be like having a go at someone with epilepsy for not looking at strobe lighting.

Destroy All Humans! (run away, quickly!)



Destroy All Humans is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever to be made by humans (who didn't get destroyed, ba dum-tish).

You play as a bad-ass killer Alien called Crypto, who out to collect human brain stems so he can take them back to his home planet for a reason I can't recall (this may sound bad, but the story is kind of vague). You also find out that your brother/family/co race buddy (not actually sure who ^^) called Cryptonite 1387-B or something similar has been captured (the real reason behind Section 8) and you are ordered to go save him, however, this being America you can't walk 2 paces without someone screaming Alien and attacking you (unsocial I know) which often leads to hilarious gun battles withwhat seems like the whole of the U.S army. To repel this "threat", Crypto is armed with a hilarious array of weaponry, such as the


Anal Probe: Not what you think, the weapon literally suck an enemies brain out of their ass, killing them (obviously).


Disintegrator Ray: Never before was burning your enemies to ashes so much fun, but this time it was in style.

I personally liked the game alot and agree with the review points made, however DAH2 wasn't quite as good IMO, so it's gonna be interesting to see what DAH3 will be like.

I suffer from the problem of the games not being on 360 D:
Get a PS2 then. It makes all three of the more recent systems its bitches.

Also, I was under the impression that the 3rd one was a bag of balls not worthy to clean the others' shoes. Why's that? Different developer, of course. Pandemic, this generation has not been kind to you. Think of something else that's clever, and do it quick.

The third game was just as good as the others imo. The main problem was that it was just more of the same and the graphics were poor for the current generation. And the 3rd one is in fact on the 360, the first 2 are available on xbox and I believe they are compatible with the 360.

Are you talking about Big Willy Unleashed or Path of the Furon? The former is nowhere near as fun or funny as the first two, and I don't know anything about the latter.

Seconded, though the 360 has been making it up in my eyes recently, the PS2 is still the best system out there. And it's only 100 bones now I think :D

I have to say that this review isn't all that much of a review: it gives people the basic premise, sure, and it explains how awesome the weapons are, but that's not really review material all by itself.

10 quid? It's going for £2 plus postage on Amazon. What a bargain!

And while the original 2 games may be on Xbox as well, I go for the better controller over better graphics, myself. Still, since the games are compatible with today's systems, there's now no reason at all to not pick them up.
