 Destroy All Humans! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The game is set up in a "sandbox" fashion, much like Pandemic's January 2005 game, Mercenaries.
Most buildings and structures in the game can be destroyed.
The game is set in 1950's U.S. and parodies the lifestyles, pop culture, and politics of this time period.

 Review: Destroy All Humans (Xbox)
Destroy All Humans' visuals are decent, but the game's wacky sense of humor and satiric writing style are what really makes it stand out.
During the course of the game, players will be able to use mind-control on the humans, abduct cows and other creatures for experiments, use a variety of wacky weapons including anal probes on the humans and generally wreak havoc wherever they go.
Most of the human reactions are fairly predictable and players should be able to anticipate their moves before they make them.

 Destroy all Humans Review for PS2 - Pro-G
Destroy all Humans is only about ten hours in length, and the lack of checkpoints is obviously an intentional design choice to artificially extend the game's length.
Everything pointed towards Destroy all Humans being one of the games of the year, but appearances can be deceiving.
Missions often mix on foot sections with saucer flying, but this is about all the variety you are going to find in the game.

 Destroy All Humans! (PS2) Reviews on Darkstation
Destroy All Humans may not be all that different from the rest of the gaming world, but it took a different approach to many areas of which we will discuss in the review of the game.
But it is the games that take the road less traveled; go for something different, those are the ones that are usually remembered.
is not a game for everyone, but is a game for those of us who would like to just enjoy a comedic approach to the whole aliens versus humans concept.

 Destroy All Humans! Review for Xbox - Gaming Age
But just because Destroy All Humans is not a member of this elite category does not mean it lacks worth as an action game.
It may not be a game of the year, but Destroy All Humans is definitely a worthwhile addition to any gamer’s collection.
Generally speaking, it is rare for a video game to be promoted with such incredible vigor, but apparently THQ decided to make an exception for their newest game Destroy All Humans.

 Destroy All Humans! (xbx: 2005): Reviews
The main positives going for Destroy All Humans are its enjoyable action sequences, but these are alienated by, what are in nature, dismal fetch and find missions that lack the originality that the game was trying to deliver in the first place.
The unique gameplay mechanics paired with a tried and tested style of play makes it one of the sleeper titles of the year and while its not a smash hit best selling AAA game, it’s something that thinks otuside the square of normal gameplay and offers great fun.
While there are some noticeable blemishes in the game such as graphical pop-in and broken cut scenes, Destroy All Humans succeeds where many have failed.

 Destroy All Humans for XBO video game review and cheats
The action is compelling enough, complete with many different ways to actually destroy the humans in the game, and a lot of the missions are structured really well, though many of them, unfortunately, are very linear in how you complete them.

Still, the game is a fun play through, even if the game itself isn’t anything outstandingly different.

DAH is played in a third person perspective with player movement controlled via the left thumbstick, whilst the camera is moved with the right.
If you (like me), have always wanted to flip the coin and destroy the human race, then the newly released Destroy all Humans (DAH) may be just the game for you.

 Inside Hotwire 3D - Reviews: Xbox - Destroy All Humans
Overall, Destroy All Humans is just your typical science fiction game with funny dialogues thrown in and a good amount of "kill or be killed" scenarios.
The humans are immensely resistant and do not go down that easy.
The gameplay itself is relatively easy and that anyone could get the hang of it in a short period of time.

 USATODAY.com - 'Destroy All Humans': Uninspired and aggravating
But this objective list is hardly diverse — like many action games, Destroy all Humans is predictably filled with "go here, get this, go there, do that" gameplay.
But don't concern yourself with the technicalities of the back story — earthling-obliteration is the name of this game.
Multiplayer action is tragically limited to 2-players and the single player mode is thin in this otherwise flawless, if hard-to-find, gem.

 Destroy All Humans! for Xbox Review - Xbox Destroy All Humans! Review
The people involved with the making of this game must have spent a great deal of time watching an awful lot of 1950s drive-in movies, because the game's take on '50s culture and that era's version of the sci-fi genre is wonderfully done.
Though perhaps that isn't enough to make the game worth its full retail price tag, games don't come much more suitable for rental purposes than Destroy All Humans!.
The comedy is frequent and consistent, and from a purely presentational standpoint, this game does its concept extremely proud.

 Review - Destroy All Humans // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
For a long time Destroy All Humans looked like it had the potential to be one of the games to look forward to this year.
There's so much love that has gone into Destroy All Humans - you only have to watch the excellent documentary on the development of the game to realise that - and it's a game that deserves an audience.
What quickly becomes apparent is that although Destroy All Humans could charm the birds from the trees with its exceptional humour and unending succession of delightfully warm comic touches, the game is ultimately let down by some bland mission design.

Destroy all Humans for PS2 video game review and cheats
Throwing a twist in the alien invasion dynamic, THQ and Pandemic allows players to be the invading and dastardly aliens rather then the heroic humans who must stop them.
I understand that the need for character models is a bit easier when making games like this, but more variety is clearly needed here.

 Destroy All Humans! Preview from GameZone.com
Destroy All Humans from THQ is a GTA-style game that puts you in control of a member of an alien race as he tries to harvest human brains on Earth in order to keep his species reproducing.
Graphically, Destroy All Humans is shaping up to be a great looking game.
Destroy all Humans combines 50’s sci-fi kitsch with some great gameplay elements.

 Preview - Destroy All Humans! /// Eurogamer
Destroy All Humans reportedly has around 20 missions, set across five main locations, as well as a handful of 'sandbox' missions to keep you going.
You might think of this as a game, but we prefer to think of it more in terms of a training manual for the alien masses that realise that the Planet Earth is a far better place to be.
If needs be, you can simply go on the rampage and take out the humans by blasting them into next week with various alien means, such as the standard Laser Blaster, a bizarre brain warping virus, and an explosive Ion Detonator charge.

 First Impressions - Destroy All Humans // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
We were immediately delighted to note full progressive scan and widescreen support for visualphiles, and we warmed to the overall style of the game, with decent character detail, exaggerated animation and Havok physics support making it stand apart from most action games doing the rounds.
All the way through the game Crypto is constantly wise-cracking in a cynical 'bored with humanity' kind of way.
Actually, not all of what I just said is strictly true, it's simply more fun to invent our own back story for Pandemic's latest game than merely go along with its somewhat less probable version of events.

 GAF - Review - Destroy All Humans! (Xbox)
As such, the humor in the game comes out in many levels, from the conversations had in the game and the thoughts of the humans as you read them, to the names on buildings and to your guns and some of their effects (especially the anal probe gun).
The guys at Pandemic Studios didn't take the game as a serious game while they were designing it, and instead decided to take this game for how it should be taken, a spoof.
Unfortunately, Destroy All Humans is a fairly short game, if one just plays through the main missions.

Early in the game, you know very little about the humans, such as how they think, what their ambitions are, and so forth.
Playing Destroy All Humans certainly makes you feel powerful, but I’d say it’s the comedy and bizarre events that make the game truly fun.

The game is played through a third person perspective and, in the beginning at least, the humans are blissfully unaware of your presence.
For example, if you take control of a military general at one point you can go to the UN and tell them the rumours of an alien invasion are nothing more than the chattering of the masses.
Pandemic may be basking in the pre-release hype of Full Spectrum Warrior, but behind closed doors they’re working away at unearthing every fifties sci-fi cliché for use in their next title, Destroy all Humans!.

You can take the form of a human, scan their thoughts (which leads to a lot of the humor in the game), throw people/cars/tanks/etc. around, tell humans to do something, or even just extract their brain telekinetically from their body (to get DNA).
Often times, it's worth it to just run for a while from the humans in human disguise, so as to let the warning level drop back down into a lighter security level.
On the other hand, certain areas will always be cranked up in security, so other than the infinite waves of humans, there's no reason to try to be stealthy.

 Destroy All Humans! Review - Xbox
As a third-person action game, moving Crypto around is a breeze and that’s a good thing seeing as you’ll often have to make use of your jetpack.
All the things we could have asked for in a game that has you playing an alien bent on destroying all life on Earth are pretty much present and accounted for but it skips out on a number of neat extras that could have made things even more fun.
Whichever way you choose the result is a human’s head will explode (in an almost comic fashion and not a gory violent way) and a brain will bounce out for the taking.

For example, to impersonate (or HoloBob, as this game calls it) a human just target someone and hold down the B button.
After you have whatever you’re levitating where you want, double tap Y to send it flying or simply let go of all the buttons while you’re moving it around with the right thumbstick.
Throwing people is not only the most fun and entertaining way to kill in this game; it’s also the most effective way.

Completing this mission requires a well-balanced mix of action and stealth, so while it's cool to go around hurting everyone, at the same time choosing the more quiet approach and just manipulating NPCs to open doors (because once the AI picks up on you you're toast), is definitely the smarter approach.
The game allows you to explore five huge areas that include several very different locales (including the country and Washington D.C.), and you must complete various objectives while at the same time having a blast causing havoc.
Sure, there are tons of games where we need to shoot aliens, but FINALLY, there's a title that allows us to stick it to the human race, and when I say "stick," I'm talking about the one, the only, anal probe!

Video game developers seem particularly concerned about the possibility, and many of the industry’s most popular titles and franchises put players in the role of Earth’s defenders.
The graphics, while not the most impressive in the business, give the game the perfect look; the hilarious voice acting and the game’s musical score are superb; and the plot is fantastic.
The fact that this harvesting process leaves the “donor” humans somewhat less than alive is A-OK with Crypto, who makes up what he lacks in physical stature with an extra dose of bloodthirsty attitude.
