To start off, I'm not a kid, I just lost my password. Anyways, Destroy All Humans! is an immensly fun game. It has a similar feel to GTA, but is much less gritty and seems almost a little cartoony with the ray guns to fry people. Though, the game is very open-ended and there are many ways to complete a mission. For example, a farmer sees you come up to his house and he gets the shotgun. You have the choice to fry him with your ray gun, hypnotize him, disguise yourself as him, get in your space ship to abduct him, use the space ship for a very powerful ray gun, or (my favorite) use telekenesis to throw something big at his house and make it explode (like a tractor). Overall, this game is a lot of fun and I highly suggest you buy it.

Too Hilarious!

I'd been looking forward to Destroy All Humans since the day I heard about it. So, I bought it. And I can't stop playing it. Cryptosporidium 137 has hypnotised me into playing his game all the time.

Here's why I love this game:

The + side:

1. Great Gameplay
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST GAME TO COME OUT THIS YEAR!!!!! The classic 50's take on alien invasion is brilliant. And one of your weapons is an anal probe. That says it all. You also get to fly around in your spacecraft! Two words: Abducto Beam. Two more words: Quantum Deconstructor.

2. Great Controls
Wether on land or in ship, everything is easy to use.

The - side:

1. Par Graphics
Nothing Special Here.

2. Gets a little repetitive.

Overall, This is great! Pandemic, keep up the good work!

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!

Most original game of the year

Destroy all humans! is one of the most innovative games of the year, with a
unique perspective and destructible environments you will be addicted in no time.
DAH! is set in the 1950s and revolves around the accidental destruction of a
Furon scout ship by the US Army, this accident sparks an invasion force...of 2
Furons, Orthopox and Cryptosporidum-137.
You Play as Cryptosporidium-137, sent to earth to investigate the disappearance
of your previous clone Cryptosporidium-136. Your leader is Orthopox (voiced by
Richard Horvitz, the voice of Invader Zim from the cartoon series Invader Zim),
he provides you with missions, weapons and upgrades as well as funny
conversations and Intel.
Cryptosporidum has access to a variety of weapons, the most entertaining being
the disintegration gun which turns humans into gray ash skeletons that blow away
in the wind. Even better then your weapons are your mind powers, Crypto can use
telekinesis, telepathy, hypnotism and the strange ability to make a persons head
explode in order to harvest their brain. Crypto also has an interesting stealth
option, he can use a "HoloBob", a device that generates a holographic image over
Crypto enabling him to copy the appearance of targeted humans and move
undetected among his foes.
What alien invasion game would be complete without the ability to unleash
massive devastation from the air a saucer? DAH! has you covered with Crypto'smodifiable saucer! It comes standard with the high concentrated heat "Death Ray"
and an abduction beam, but as your progress you will unlock some more
entertaining weapons, namely the "Sonic Boom gun", a weapon that shoots a small
orb of sound that sends everything around it flying off into the air from the
shock wave.
The game play in DAH! is solid and the graphics are flawless, this game is
basically a more entertaining version of Pandemic's other popular title
"Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction", both games feature destructible
environments, except Mercenaries is a standard war game while DAH! is a unique,
one-of-a-kind alien invasion game. Levels have a variety of styles and
objectives, one of the most fun is when you are required to copy the appearance
of a small town mayor with your HoloBob and address the town in a meeting, you
are given a selection of topics and responses, each one is extremely funny and
well written
The game is divided into multiple invasion sites, each one with different
attributes and design, but all allow you to free roam the terrain after the
mission objectives are completed, there are hidden items to be uncovered,
mini games and plenty of other interesting things going on giving the game a high
replay value.
All in all DAH! is an extremely funny game that should not be missed! Go out and
buy a copy today!

More fun than expected!!!

I really didn't think this would be much of a game, I was wrong. I had read all the reviews I could find, then to be safe I rented it, then I bought it the next day.
As another reviewer said, "A lot of mindless fun". This game is formated like Grand Theft Auto, but that's all I saw of the similarities. I didn't have this much fun playing GTA. I usually jump over cut scenes, or movies, in games, but that's the funnest part of this one. The comedic dialogue is a hoot. There are a lot of fun weapons and abilities, ones that you start out with and others you upgrade to. One of my favorites is the telekinesis, where you can pick someone up a chunk them a mile away; I opt using this more than the ray guns.
It is set in a 50's type era, with all the hoaky dialogue from that era.
Replay value? Well I haven't finished it yet, but I have a lot of games on my shelf that I played through once and the thought of playing them again made me sick enen before actually finishing them. I can see playing this one a few more times, it just seems like it would be fun to do over.
I'm a fan of the old B sci-fi movies of the 50's so that may be the attraction. I've read a few negative reviews and I think those are just folks who never really got into that.
It's rated T for teens, and there are some mild swear words, the vilence is mild, like that of a cartoon, and I've not seen any blood yet. When you extract a brain it just pops out and lays there. If you just can't like without blood and guts violence(I like those as well if they're good), then you probably won't get into this game.

Cons: a few of the missons are a little longer and the auto save doesn't kick in till the missions' are over, but that's no biggy, so far nothing as been extremely difficult, not to say that they haven't been challenging.

Good overall game...

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!!

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.

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.

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.
