Great Game

The format of this game is very similar to Grand Theft Auto, although less frustrating (challenging). There are constantly respawning cops and agents that are chasing and shooting at you like in GTA, but the way to avert (get out of alert mode) is to disguise as a human (kind of cool).

The game is a lot funnier than GTA and obviously has a completely different theme. Reading minds of the people (another alien power) and hearing the comments is pretty funny. As are the guns which are very similar to the ones in the movie Mars Attacks.

Gameplay does get a little repetitive as in GTA but its definitely lighter fare than GTA, not as dark and the comments are more humorous and less vulgar.

I would consider renting this game before you buy (or buy and resell) because you can get through it pretty quickly and unlike Halo 2 or other great LIVE! games. I didnt find myself wanting to play after finished because there is no LIVE! play.

But for what it is, it is a great game worth getting and very original theme.

Destroy All Humans

The first thing I noticed about DAH! (Destroy All Humans!) Is the atmosphere, it takes a cliche B-Movie idea and totally twists it around. You play as the alien in this one, wreaking havok on the slightly perverted denizens of an alternate 50's enviroment.
After eons of unregulated atomic weapons use, the race on aliens known as Furons became mutated and developed a complete lack of geniteilia and couldn't propogate (unlucky buggers). So they clone themselves instead, making everyone essentially immortal. Now they are running out of DNA to clone themselves and the only source of Furon DNA is on earth in the form of human brain stems. So naturally you go to earth and do everything in your power to Destroy All Humans!

Scores 1-10

Gameplay: 8.0 Aiming is approximate in a good way, responsive and easy-to-use controls are welcome in the games many fenzied firefights. Weapons are fun to use (who doesn't like (...) probes!). Best telekinesis controls and hyper-realistic physics are good, but the respawning enemies get old.

Graphics: 9.0 Lots of good detail, volumetric grass and awesome weapon effects. Particle effects and firey explosions abound.
No draw distance and tasteful bloom lighting create an interesting 50's enviroment. Best graphics of any GTA style game.

Immersion: 9.3 The story mode missions are immaginative and varied, I wish i could go back and replay them in the sandbox mode you unlock after you beat the game because besides the semi-pointless DNA collecting minigames you can access between missions, the story mode levels are the most fun thing in the game. Dont get me wrong, with the open ended gameplay and tons of unlockables, you can say hellooo replayability.

Sound: 10! Tons and Tons of voice-overs for the hilarious thoughts and words of the humans. Funny and witty lines from Crypto and his commander, Orthopox, make playing this game like listening to an episode of The Simpsons, only with movie quality voice acting, music, and sound effects.

Overall 9.0
You should definately pick this one up, it's an original title in a world of sequals and movie-games. If you don't buy it, then at least rent it.

Losses a good thing with poor game design

What starts off as a fun, amusing game eventually turns into a typical checkpoint type save disaster. As opposed to using creativity to add challenge to the game, the designers decided to use repetition instead. Although it is not true checkpoints as such, but rather you simply cannot save a mission until you complete multiple objectives. At first this is not a problem, but towards the middle of the game you suddenly find yourself trying to do the same thing over and over again. Perhaps if you have the memory of a three year old , you may find this to be exciting and fun. However, if you have anything more upstairs, you will quicky tire of this waste of your time. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't such a large amount of time that you are sometimes set back. You may finally complete two objectives and be working on your third when you get killed and have to start over from the very beginning. This is not creative. This is not challenging. This is simply repetition. It's a shame too, because this game could have been a lot of fun.

This game is flat out awesome. It starts out when a scout saucer flown by an alien of the furon race is accidentaly shot down by humans conducting military research. The curiose humans send the alien to a research facility known as area-42. To rescue the lost furon an alien warrior named Cryptosporidium-137 (ie Crypto) comes to earth to save his kidnapped comrad the only way he knows how: by killing everything in his path. With several uber destructive weapons, an upgradable flying saucer, and telokenetic powers, I found this game to be loads of fun. There are missions that you must comlete but you can also roam freely about each of the cities, wreaking havok as you see fit. With a grand theft auto style free play system, I spent many hours melting my way through the american cities. The game truly feels like GTA with an alien element thrown in. Of course its nowhere near as offensive as GTA is. In fact, Destroy All Humans often made hilarious observations about 1950's society. As an added bonus, you collect human brains to use to buy new weapon and sauxer upgrades from Pox, your commander. All in all this game played great, was funny, and involving. This is definatly in my top 5 favorite games. Buy it now or you WILL be analy probed by aliens.

I love aliens

I really enjoyed playing this game for the first couple of weeks. It was easy and it didn't take long to beat it, but I loved being able to destroy all those humans so much I was hooked. However, it did not take long for me to get tired of it, but while I did play it, I enjoyed it.

I think the best part of the game is the hooky 50's dialogue which pokes fun at all things Americana. I actually read this week where one of the producers of King of Hill is developing the game into an animated TV series. It should be good if they stick to fun elements of the game.

I you like the GTA style of play, and just want to sit in front of your XBOX and zone out for an hour or two this is the game for you. Its fun and it will make you laugh.

another great game from the guys and gals at THQ

this game is set in the 1950's so any fan of 1950's sci-fi will be very happy but even if u're not a huge fan there is plenty of enjoyment to be had.
You get to play as Crypto who is even cooler then ET and admit it people ET was a wuss!
You get to play with loads of cool gadgets and unlock more as u play through the game. the controls take a little bit of getting used to but once u do you be destroying humans like the best alien destroyer ever!!

A delisciously evil game!

Pathetic humans! How true lol. This has got to be the best game iv ever played so far for Xbox, better than Halo! Some amazing features I loved most about this game is that you can actually fly your UFO, and the attention to detail, blew my mind. Weapon of choice you ask, the Quantum Deconstrutor. I mean, what kind of evil alien wouldnt want to level entire cities? This game really takes in essence the view of the little grey men from space and how they wanted to oblitorate us in the 50's. And with such a wide range of truly amazing weaponry, who wouldnt want to take a joyride vaporizing humans into piles of ash. If your someone who really needs to blow off some steam once in awhile, this is really a game for you. Or if your someone who just plays games to blow things up, still the game for you. Or if your a fan of old sci-fi movies, again, this is the game for you! Two thumbs up here, id raise up more but I only have one set.

Great, original game

This is a brilliant, original game that is humorously fun. in the game you are an alien sent to earth to "harvest" human's brain stems to save your dying race. this game is a good shooting game, but it is the humor that really puts it over the top. the graphics are good for the most part, but there may be a minor error at certain times, but you will be having to much fun to notice or care.the humor mostly comes from Crypto's(the alien's)smart remarks, but other humor comes from the stupidity of the humans and zapping them with your anal probe to watch them grab their buttocks and flee. All in all this is a funny,original game that anyone who likes video games would enjoy.

Crazy wacky fun!

This game is so much fun! You simply go around terrorizing the people of Earth and steal their DNA. What I think is the funniest part of the game is the first level when you are on a farm and you can make humans, cows, and even chicken do the chicken dance by hypnotyzing them. Awesomely great game buy it!

Good game; shouldn't have been rated T.

This game has a lot of really great elements in that it is somewhat interactive (not RPG-level interactive), has great graphics, smooth play, challenging missions, and a very interesting storyline. With that having been said, I am certain that is is not appropriate for younger teenagers (Teen is a 13 and over rating). There are drug references and suggestive language that many parents would not want their teenagers exposed to.
