I got this game off the discount rack at Wal-Mart. I enjoyed the ads for it. The game itself wasn't as exciting as I thought it wouuld be.
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.

This game is quite fun. You can blow things up, levitate cars and people and other objects, crash down buildings and much more.
There are a whole bunch of levels to go through. The story takes place when an alein clone-Crypto 136- is captured on earth when his saucer crashes. So you -Crypto 137- is sent out to earth to find him. On your mission you go through Rockwell,Santa Modesta, Union Town, Capotal City, Area 42 and a farm. You also learn that every human has a strand of Furon DNA (Furons are the name of the alein's species). So while you progress through the game you need to get the Furon DNA from the humans by taking their brain stems.
The gameplay is so cool! The game offers a free roam which allows you to go and make some choas! You have an arsenal of deadly guns to use. I like the Disintegrater Ray the best because when it hits a human, you can see their skin melting and their bones turn to ash!
Its a whole new world when you are in the saucer. Your weapons in the saucer are the Death Ray, Abducto Beam, Sonic Boom and the Quantum Deconstructor. Cars go flying and people get horribly mangled! They end up in all shorts of disturbing conditions. When you get someones' brain stem, their heads explode and alot of gooey green guts come out, topped with sickening sound effects. The brain comes out with the guts and you can get 10% to 50% DNA from each brain! Trade in DNA at the Mothership for upgrades for your guns and/or saucer.
The levels can get pretty intense sometimes because of all the explosions but hey, it just adds to the fun! The graphics are average and it gets a little glichey here and there but its still a spectacular game. It is sure to delight any alein lover!
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.
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!

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.
Original game but not as good as the hype

Destroy All Humans! is an original game in a world filled with sequels that seem to get worse and worse. The graphics are good and the main character, Crypto is voiced well (and sounds like Jack Nicholoson for some reason). The game overall however, is tedious and repetitive. You are instructed to complete missions, some are out and out destruction while others are more about stealth but the end result is the same. The 50's B-Movie genre is a nice twist and the comments made by the humans and the aliens are entertaining but again, you hear the same thing over and over and over and, well you get the idea. I would recommend this as a rental first because it has a pretty hefty price tag.
