First off, I just started the game today and have yet to finish it so this is really a preliminary review. So far I am really enjoying the game, it is a fun, silly and very juvenile romp making fun of the early sci-fi B movies. It is also a political satire poking fun at cold war America. However, the T for teen rating is very misleading. Depending an the age and maturity of your teen parents may want to think twice about purchasing this game. Characters use strong language, such as "ass" when referring to others and some of the themes may be inappropriate. Characters make numerous sexual references, some female characters exclaim "hurry up boys, my biological clock is ticking," "I'm going commando" (referring to a lack of underwear) and characters of both genders intimate homosexual / lesbian tendencies. Additionally, the player has a weapon called an "anal probe." Ultimately, I am enjoying this game but I am an adult, parents should be aware of this rather mature content prior to purchasing this game. Bottom line, this game should have an M rating instead of a T rating.
Really fun game!

This the best game I played this summer! There are four guns in the game that you can use to destroy humans. The story is good and the gameplay is fun but this doesn't last long. After you finish the game, there isn't much replay value and killing humans gets old. I would recommend this if you are a collector or a huge sci-fi fan. But if you aren't, this would make a good rental that'll last you a week. Good game.
Graphics- 10/10
Gameplay- 8/10
Story- 9/10
It's cool after the first five hours, but then it just gets boring!

The graphics are good, the sound is good, the humor is excellent, but to tell you people this game had a rock bottom replay value of nothing. After you've finished all the missions, all there is to do is to find the weird brain things, and after a while this can get quite frustrating. Also there is no challenge in this game, it's just mindless fun, and personally is for people who enjoy this game as much as spinning a pencil on a tabletop for hours on end. The jokes about President Bush are very funny, and so is all the rest of the humor in this game. Good for a few laughs, but after that it's just boring.
my favorite game ever!!!!!!!!

After this game drop in price, I decided it was about time to buy it. Big mistake. At first, the game seems very fun and interesting. You're an alien sent to Earth to....you guessed it, destroy humans. During the killing, you "harvest" DNA, which you can trade in for up-grades on your personal abilities, weapons, and flying saucer. However, these up-grades don't translate into new, different weapons. They just mean more powerful existing weapons, which is kinda lame. And at first, these up-grades are inexpensive and easy to come-by. Then the up-grades become expensive and taxing on your DNA budget. So you have to do tedious, mundane harvesting to get these up-grades, which in upper levels are almost needed to destroy enemies and accomplish your objectives. And while we're talking about enemies, the ones in this game NEVER STOP COMING. Apparently, the government is involved in some cloning because the just keep coming, over, and over, and over, and over, and you see where I'm going with this. The game is entertaining, it just doesn't last that long. Fighting battles in your saucer is also difficult due to this. Rocket launchers and anti-aircraft installments just keep on coming back too, pounding the living crap outta you. And health and ammo recharges aren't the easiest things to come by. The sandbox setup (you can run around and do whatever) is kinda nice, but with so few weapons (4) and mental abilities (4) things get boring very quickly. I wouldn't recommend buying it, or renting it for that matter, but if your curiosity overwhelms you like mine did, rent it.
Out of this World Fun

If you like B-Movies from the 50s/60s looks like Destroy All Humans might just be the game for you. The game sets you down smack in the middle of what feels just like a 50s sci-fi film. The story is a simple one you are a part of a superior alien race who needs to retrieve DNA placed in the brains of humans to survive. So your mission is simple - Destroy All Humans!
Both the story and game play options are described to you during your game play. So you don't really need to read the instructions and can just dive right in. [However you may wish to familiarize yourself with the controls a wee bit before starting --- we found ourselves hitting all the wrong buttons at all the wrong times.]
Fun game for almost all ages [violence you know --- kinda figured that one out with a name like Destroy All Humans].
Biggest downfall of the game is that when you die you start your mission from the beginning. And that can be very frustrating when nearly complete and you get your final zap. Game play is not saved until you complete the mission and head back to the Mothership for further instructions.
good goody game

This game is a must play.I recommend it for teen players and up,since you can explode peoples' heads and get their brains.Also Anal Probe them and kill anyone.Some say its too short but it is pretty lenghty and have side-quests.The game also lets you unlock a full movie of teenagers from outerspace.Its kinda funny the way you do things,and it feels like a Ratchet and Clank game.Older gamers might like this a ton,since its like old shows and the music too.

Loved it - this is just good fun. Little green men zapping humans and extracting brains, disintegrating them, liquifying them - great fun. Presentation is fun, controls are easy to learn, missions are not too tough and there is definately replay value. Voice acting is fun. Its like Mars Attacks meets war of the worlds meets grand theft auto vice city - if you liked any of them you probably would enjoy this!
Now you are the the Alien!

Anything you play that has aliens in it means you are destroying the aliens and restoring peace to the world. That is not the case with "Destroy All Humans." In this game, you are the Alien!
You play as Crypto, a Furon that was sent to earth to rescue his clone and harvest human DNA. You will face farmers,police officers, the military, American citizens, and Majestic. (The toughtest enemies are the Majestic agents.) Crypto has 4 weapons and his flying saucer, which has the Death Ray on it, and 2 other weapons on it.
Also, Crypto has the power to read minds, make objects move, and holobob people.(That means that Crypto can copy someone's apperance.)
There are unlockable features and much more to this humorous game. I got this game last Christmas and I play it all the time! It's a very unique, and entertaining game for hours.
Destroy All Humans is a Killer Game!!

This game is one of the best new games that has come out in awhile! There are tons of landscapes to discovery. Cool missions. Awesome weapons and powers. And what kind of Alien game would it be without the anal probe gun and a wicked cool UFO to fly around in. Very fun and addictive. This game doesn't dissapoint!
