I'm a nut about so-called 'platformer' games, such as Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, and so on. This game takes it to a whole new level-- you play as a sarcastic alien with a Jack Nicholsen-esque voice, whose goal is to literally pull the brain-stems out of human beings to retrieve hidden alien DNA. You can control minds, clone or "holo-bob" humans to walk among them, and use some funny weapons such as the Anal Probe (yes!). The towns and fields are massive and realistic, with mid-Fifties American style; it is set up like an old sci-fi flick of that era, and the citizens think (or are told) it is a "commie" invasion! Comparing this game to others is difficult, because it's style is so unique. However, in totallity of game play, it lags well behind the leading platformer, Ratchet & Clank. Weapons are too few, the motivation for missions is vague, and it is too short. Human subjects re-spawn without even leaving the area, so you can never completely do what the title suggests. Hidden items give DNA only - unlike the secret bolts in R & C, which allow you to buy upgrades. But by far the worse problem with the game, in my opinion, is the difficult control scheme; you have to use both thumbsticks to move, and let go of one or the other to use abilities; an auto-aim feature would be great. It takes a long time getting used to. In spite of its faults, however, it still remains fun-- who doesn't like blowing #!@# up? This is one of those games I actually waited to purchase on eBay, because I'd rented it shortly after its release in 2005 and enjoyed it-- just not enough to shell out $50 to add it to my collection. I'd normally recommend you try this intentionally-campy game before buying, but since you can find both used and new copies at such low prices from eBay sellers, you could probably ad this to your "owned" list for the equivalent of a three-day rental. Go for it; open your mind, or Crypto will open it for you!Read full review
I feel like a kid at the game store for the first time that just picked the copy up, for the first time & purchased. I own Destroy All Humans 2 for the PS2. So I’m no amateur to the series. However it is my first time owning the Destroy All Humans 1. I’m making my way onto the 3rd game for the PS3. Which is Destroy All Humans Path Of The Furon. This game bring nostalgia, it’s pretty fun causing chaos. Also having the old classic games from the PS2 that I played in early childhood.

I was shocked at the perfect condition of this game considering it was pre-owned. It was brand new with only the plastic wrapping removed (or at least that’s how it appeared). The game possesses a lot of entertainment even when you’re not in story mode. I love roaming the towns and throwing, probing, and cloning the residents. What more could you want? 😁

This is one funny game! It reminds me of the movie Mars Attacks in a way. You come to earth and kidnap, destroy or probe humans. I've had some fun playing it.

My son (age 15, and very mature for his age) had gotten "Destroy All Humans!" and asked for the sequel, having enjoyed the first one immensely. We found one on eBay, bought it, and received it quickly. He has had a great deal of fun with DAH 2. He especially likes having Crypto listen to the thoughts of the humans he encounters. Our entire family has laughed at various parts of the game -- the "free love dance," the guru Shama Lama, Crypto and his (ahem) "package", etc. The game is easy to play; he's never had to use any of the help features. It has mild profanity, but nothing worse than what the average fifth-grader hears on a daily basis. The sexual innuendo is strong, but hilarious. My son says he can't think of anything negative about the game and would highly recommend it to kids 14 and up. (He doesn't think that kids under 14 would understand a lot of the humor in the sexual innuendo, but that is obviously a parent's call.) I've never played a PlayStation game before, but I have to admit that this one is tempting.Read full review
