    You really can't go wrong with this game - there's nothing else quite like it at the moment.

    Aside from a few camera issues the game is visually stunning, combine this with the show stealing repartee between the major players and Destroy All Humans! becomes an almost essential addition to your gaming galaxy.

    A fun experience that puts you in a refreshing role, but there is just not enough in here for me to recommend anything besides renting.

    Unfortunately, unless Crypto's race is looking to harvest tedium and repetition from our earthly minds, he's better off just harassing than destroying them. [Sept 2005, p.90]

    A great game controlling a classic alien from movies and what not, you get to do pretty much everything you've ever wanted to do as an alien. From flying around your very own ufo, sucking up cows (Classic!), cars, humans, destroying buildings. And even on foot it just keeps getting better and better. With a decent storyline for a game like this, it's a great pickup from '05. You'll be facing everything the human race can throw at you, military, even the Majestic 12! I highly recommend it if you're into alien games with humour. And when you've completed the game, you can always go back to the "zone/maps" and replay them as much as you want. Excellent game if you love replay games.… Expand

    Great game! I wish there weren't any invasion sites, but other than that, you can't go wrong!

    A really fun and unique idea at the time. Destroy all Humans just was a ton of fun with some really great characters. Crypto is basically Jack Nicolson playing a sadistic little alien that isn't that bright.

    Crypto is just a riot. Everything and anything he says just cracks me up.

    However the game is not flawless. For all the good there is also bad. Controls are a little weird at time and the possession mechanic a bit too strict. For a game that requires you to hide and remain out of sight, it really has poor stealth mechanics. Gameplay on the whole is rather bland and feels like a dumbed down version of GTA.

    Saucer mode is Awesome! A shame it could not of been utilized better.

    Overall:
    Destroy all humans, as the first game in the series, is a great game. Deeply flawed as you can see the developers are still getting their bearings, but this can be overlooked as it has a funny story and some truly memorable and well written characters.    … Expand

    Is the game emotional, intricate, deep? No. Is it a ton of fun? Absolutely. You really can't go wrong: you're an alien who is on Earth to do one thing: kill humans. It actually ends up being quite hilarious and witty in parts, which is definitely a bonus. I would recommend this, for sure, if you're in the mood for stupid, silly, violent fun.… Expand
