  1. Destroy All Humans is dead and Path of the Furon put the final nail in the coffin. Rest in peace Crypto.
  2. Here, you’ll find little beyond groaners, pedestrian prattle, and underdeveloped monotony. Find another path to walk.
  3. The sad decline of the Destroy All Humans franchise is a minor tragedy, because the core idea here is fantastic. [Feb 2009, p.85]
  4. Repetitive and uninspired missions abound as do glitches that can make completing missions more difficult or even impossible without reloading. The lack of a co-op mode for the campaign is also a huge letdown.

    The game is rough around the edges and the missions aren't incredibly inspired, but it's the sandbox gameplay that is so impressive. There is an incredible number of things you can do in the world with even more combinations of weapons and abilities. There is a lot of emergent gameplay to be had. In addition to all this, there is the innovative weapon scarring system and building destruction. No other game does anything like it. Remember, it's a $40 game so it's not going to compete with a GTA4 or some other game with a 100 milliion dollar budget. Also, you can blow up nearly everything and you can take to the air as well as the ground. Naturally some visuals will have to be compromised to allow for all this freedom and activity. Expand
  2. I don't know why all the reviewers hate this game so much; The game is no that bad. I admit the graphics are not that good and there is a couple of glitches, but I think the game play is pretty impressive with all its upgrades and enhancments since the last game. The new weapons, new enemies and the new mental abilities are very cool. The story line is very interesting and somehow I did not get sick of playing it; I only recommend this game if you are a fan of the original Destroy all human games. If you don't think its worth full price, it definitely worth borrowing a rental. Expand

    Oh, it's not all that bad. Sure, it looks like it could run on a PS2 or a Wii, but get past that and the game itself really isn't that bad. It's not life changing, but it's a good laugh. If you liked the previous DAH games, then give it a shot - there's far worse out there. If you didn't this won't change your mind. But it's really not as bad as all that. Expand

    This game is just bad all around, the graphics, excluding Crypto's saucer are just terrible. Most of the models for characters look like they belong on an original Xbox launch title. The missions are riddled with horrible cliches and bugs, and the game just feels like more of a chore or a joke that you play on your friend, tricking him into beating it for you while you watch and laugh. It's such a shame too, if you want to fly around and blow up cities with flying saucers, try the earlier games, they did it much better and they were actually funny. Expand
