    Destroy All Humans is dead and Path of the Furon put the final nail in the coffin. Rest in peace Crypto.

    While the game packs some potential, the constant barrage of technical glitches renders it all but unplayable and leave it feeling like an unfinished work that was rushed to the shelves a month or two too soon.

    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.

    Unless something drastic happens to the series, perhaps THQ is better putting this old dog down.

    Avoid this one unless you’re a sucker for dickhead aliens. The Path of the Furon leads straight to disappointment.

    For those who can look past the game’s flaws there are a few hours of mindless destruction and anal-probing to be had here, but only if you’ve exhausted every other game out there.

    Time to dig up those copies of "ET"; there's a new extraterrestrial king of the landfill. Absolutely horrible.

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

This DAH game is more or less exactly the same as its predecessors. Just this time on the next Gen. Perhaps this is why. I think people thought the game would advance and offer something that fully utilized the next gen system. It didn't. Instead it made a game that simply followed the EXACT SAME formula as the last 2 games.

    It had a funny story. Great locations, and great combat. But I will say I did find the game a tad too easy. I will agree that of the three games in the series, this is the weakest.

    Overall:
    DAH: Path of the Furon is a good game, but it does feel like it's following a stale gameplay style which might put off newer gamers.    … Expand

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

The graphics are an aquired taste. The story is lackluster. The actual gameplay is average. There is nothing special in that department. What frustrates me is that Destroy All Humans 1&2 were both good, and they ran on last gen tech! Why the developers didn't go up instead of average boggles my mind completely.… Expand

Sur plusieurs cartes relativement grandes (ou relativement petites, c'est selon), Crâne de piaf fout donc le boxon chez ces saletés d'humains, pète tout, tue tout le monde, possède les humains, les balance à tout va, pète la gueule à tout le monde etc, etc...

    On est dans un délire à la Saints Row (du niveau 3 ou 4 cela va sans dire) plutôt rigolo -surtout les premières heures- mais dont la lourdeur ne cesse de s'accentuer au fil du temps. Heureusement -tout de même !- la jouabilité est assez bien réglée et la VF (intégrale !) bien dans le ton hystéro-bouffon général.

    On reste certainement loin de l'équilibre -difficile à atteindre et maintenir il est vrai- des SR3 et 4, car contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait penser, l'art du n'importe quoi -bien qu'art mineur- n'est pas donné à tout le monde et encore moins aux opportunistes adeptes du Sousse Parc tels que Pandemic Studios, les auteurs de cette "oeuvre". N'est pas Volition qui veut.

    Nous ne sommes pas maniaque du comptage de pixel, ni une traînée camée jusqu'aux yeux de graphismes "sa race" mais déplorons néanmoins que ce "Détruis tous les Humains" soit un tel étron technique. On ne reconnaît pas trop le moteur Unreal dans ces "graphismes" repoussants, ni dans ces saccades quasi-permanentes qui vont jusqu'au diaporama (!) lorsqu'on casse tout avec la soucoupe volante. Les temps de chargement sont aussi très nombreux et inexcusables au regard d'une telle horreur vidéo-graphique.

    La route vers Paname est par conséquent fort longue et semé d'embûches visuelles et... intellectuelles dans le sens où ce "jeu" peut également nuire ostensiblement à l'intellect tout entier sur des périodes plus ou moins prolongées.    … Expand
