This remake of Destroy All Humans! is really quite incredible.
In some ways, Destroy All Humans! shows its age, being a remake of a game that's now 15 years old, in a genre that's grown a lot in those years. But it's also got a sense of humour and parody of American life that feels more relevant today than when the original game first came out. That's a depressing reflection on the state of the world today, but it also means that the satire that underpins everything else in the game hits harder than the original creators ever could have imagined.

Definitely one of my favourite games of all times. It's fun, it looks surprisingly good, it's full of humor, there's a ton of stuff to do... It also works very well, so very few bugs and stuff like that. Part two was so colourful that I'd chose it over this one, but this one is technically speaking a little better. Can't go wrong with either game, would certainly recommend playing both.

It retains the same feel and the graphics are so well done. This is a genuine attempt at a remake and thank you so much Black Forest, they have executed excellently and sets a standard. Old and new fans will love this, the story is on point, it's very well polished and is so much smoother (probably even better on next gen consoles). Holds replay ability value too, for cosmetics and upgrades.

Mission objectives are simplistic
and the multiple sandbox maps
are small by modern standards,
but creative abuse of the
game’s destructive weapons
never fails to raise a smile. A
welcome reinvasion. [Issue#179, p.70]
Overall, this remake of Destroy All Humans is essentially the 2005 original with a fresh coat of paint and a few tweaks, and it carries over everything, warts and all. While there are definitely some frustrations in the gameplay mechanics, taken as a whole, the game holds up surprisingly well.
What Black Forest Games and THQ Nordic have achieved with the Destroy All Humans! remake is impressive. It certainly doesn't feel worlds away from the original, which is always a concern when there's a classic of this calibre being remade. Although some of the enhancements are a bit hit and miss, most do work really well, and can make you wonder how you coped without them in the original. It's clear that a great deal of effort has been put into enhancing what already was a stellar title, whilst also introducing it to a new audience. Players who have been dying to play as Crypto-137 once again will feel right at home when they're tasked, once more, to Destroy All Humans!
Destroy All Humans is a faithful remake that retains the charm of the 2005 original, while dramatically overhauling the visuals and making some improvements to the gameplay. Perhaps a bit too faithful, with missions that now feel too simple and limited to the point of just being a bit boring.
Fans have been clamouring for the return of Crypto for some time and Destroy All Humans for PS4 is their chance to relive the bygone PS2 era and relive those ill-tempered, extra-terrestrial antics from fifteen years ago. The remake looks great but unfortunately, THQ Nordic’s 2020 effort introduces more issues than it solves; keeping repetitive audio while adding in lengthy loading times, performance issues and poorly implemented gameplay updates. For the one small step of increased graphical fidelity, this version takes one giant leap back for overall quality.
I give it a 10 strictly from being a fan of the first 2 when I was a kid. This is probably top 3 remakes of all time it is extremely well done and if it looks just a little interesting to you get it don’t even think about it . Also part 2 Remake should be out this year so I’m excited about that love this series!!!

its gameplay and structure is dated but the graphics are nice and is a faithful remaster love the humour if you liked it back when it first released you'll most likely still enjoy it

The game is fun at it's core but... The animation is clunky, and the voice acting is ok, I found only a few bugs and somehow I fell out of the map randomly, that needs a fix right there.

I really enjoyed the original version of this game That I played on the original Xbox. I then played the somewhat recent re-release on PlayStation 4. I also enjoyed that version. I didn't get this one and enjoy it until the end. I get to the final boss and it is at least 10 times harder than it was in any previous release of this game. At this point, I am more frustrated than I have basically ever been at a video game. The worst part is, is that I am a huge completionist with trophies so now I am going through absolutely miserable, poorly check pointed, rage trying to beat this game. The worst part is probably the fact that I have had the health bar of the final boss completely empty two or three times now and that isn't when they die.

Its a blast from the past, everything a remaster needs to be.
If you didnt played the original i recommend picking this up its only 40 bucks and a great run for a platinum trophy. Even the people who played the original on PS2 this still was as enjoyable as back then if not more because the imrpoved graphics!
