Destroy all Humans 1 was hilarious and the fun doesn't stop with Destroy all Humans 2. This time you get to choose what Crypto says to people. I highly suggest not going with the flow in conversations. Get a good laugh from what he says and responses he gets.
Some people hated the pop scenes in the original. Well, if you don't like that then you are out of luck. DAH2 has it too. I don't mind it though.
Crypto has few kickass guns to use and more mental abilities. Sauser has more weapons and upgrades as well. My two favorite weapons is Gastro and Anti-Gravity. Technically Gastro isn't a weapon but you will understand if you play the game.
NO MORE HOLOBOB. I hated that in the original and I am glad it is gone. They changed it to Body Swap. Crypto takes control of a person.
You don't fly off to the mothership for new missions any more. I won't say why but it will be clear early on. You use the sauser to travel the globe without having to goto the mothership.
You no longer collect DNA but not FuronTech. They are green glowing things around the cities but also gained from successful missions.
The game takes you to the following cities; Bay City [USA], Albion [UK], Takoshima [Japan], and Tunguska [Russia], and Solaris [Not on Earth]
The story intially involves alot of hippies. Don't be fooled. Destroy all Humans! 2 has much bigger plot. You will understand more in Russia but you start seeing tad bits in UK. There is a huge story arc. Consider the game Furon Empire vs **Secret**. If you want to know the secret, buy the game.
Some Suggestions to buyers:
1. Do side missions.
3. Focus upgrades on Shields -- Personal and Sauser.
3. Focus other upgrades on Death Ray, Disintegrator, and Anti-Gravity Field ASAP.
4. You grain more mental abilities with the Gene Blender.
If you want help with the game, Check out Pandemic Studios forum. I am a member there myself.
Now place that Order or buy it a local store. You will enjoy the game.
Hail to the Sacred Crotch of *********!

The first Destroy All Humans was very fun and addicting, but the second one manages to surpass it in every way. I love the way you can destroy pretty much anything you want. The first one was pretty good at destruction, but this one is even better.
The 2-player split screen is a nice touch, also. It adds more variety to an already variety-packed action game. I love the concept of this game so much.
Unfortunately, the challenge hasn't been increased any. You will still be able to beat the game quite easily and won't have to worry about dying often. That's the only problem I can find with this cool game.
Greatly improved sequel!

The original Destroy All Humans was a pretty fun game, but this game was tweaked and redesigned to make it much improved. Think Grand Theft Auto with a flying saucer and WMD's! The gameplay was varied and interesting, the dialogue funny, and the game environments very imaginative. I just rented this game, but would consider buying it because it would be fun to play again later.

Many people didn`t like the CO-OP in this game, and i can see why; but i absolutly love it! in multi-furon mode, you and a partner can play every single one of the missions, odd jobs, and Arkvoodle cults together. Or you can just freerom and kill humans together. Trouble is, both Furons have a leash on each other, and when they get too far they snap back. Most people will want to kill each other, not team up. for this reason, there`s PK tennis and the Duel mini-games. both self explanitory, both awsome.

I must say I bought this game right away because we enjoyed the first one so much. I love the game and had a ton of fun playing it. However, the commentary was just too long and it took us just a short time to beat the game.
However, there are lots of things to do. Lot's of interesting and annoying remarks! If your looking for an interesting game buy this game it was a ton of fun!

Destroy All Humans was a great game and this is just as good, if not better.
They really didn't change that much, they simply took good old Crypto and put him in some new locations, gave him some new fantastic weapons, and some new & creative missions.
First the weapons: In addition to the electricity and disintegration guns from the original game you have things like a shooting disk that drags enemies (or vehicles) around, and "The Meteor Strike" (IMHO the finest weapon ever). There do seem to be a few weapons that either because you get them late in the game or because they have limited ammo really serve no purpose.
The missions are a bit more varied than the first game. There are story missions, optional missions, and Arkvoodle cult missions. The game's story locations include SoCal's "Bay city", England's capital "Albion", The island nation off the coast of China "Takoshima", a Russian town "Tungska", and "Solaris", a moon base. The Arkvoodle missions have some of the funniest material in the game. Essentially you are trying to convince groups to join your cult with a number of funny possible responses to their specific needs.
They also added a multiplayer aspect to the game. It is good, but you are tethered to your 2nd player rather than just each freely roaming. I do love that all of the game can be 2-player, not just particular missions.
Finally there are some negatives. First, I can't be sure, but I think this is the same engine as the first game. Nothing inherently bad with that (see Grand Theft Auto 3 & GTA Vice City), but with the same engine it is harder for this game to stand on its own.
Second: there are a lot of bugs in the game. Since it has an auto save, you can't really lose much of anything, but the game did freeze up on me during game play. Most of the bugs seem to be related to defeated enemies. For example someone dies on you and you are stuck in that place until the game works around that bug by launching you high into the air. That happened all the time. You will notice that most of these bugs do not stop game play or cause you to lose saved info the way other game's might.
Finally, and worst of all, the game is easy (also no difficulty settings). I may have failed a few missions due to getting shot to death or drowning (crypto can't swim), but you completely heal after 10-15 seconds of not getting shot. It is rather hard to die if you are even slightly careful. In a pinch you can use a mind control technique "Free love" where everyone will start to hippie dance and not notice you.
This game is quite literally the original game with new locations, weapons, & missions - not that there is anything wrong with that. DAH! was a great game. This game is the same essential game with more "stuff". Also for the record this game is hilarious. If you enjoyed the first game then pick this one up.
Should be called "Destroy all hippies!"

All my son did was talk about the first version so when I found this one at such a cheap price, I had to go there. He is very happy and his sister plays too.
