My daughter Anna reviewed Destroy All Humans and thinks its great. She had the version for PlayStation 2. I had requested the format for my PC but as luck would have it we received the PlayStation 2 version.
The aliens, humans and their totally realistic world are portrayed in the genre of both early science fiction and small town America. The maneuverable of Crypto is amazingly smooth. The game is challenging throughout, even with the acquisition of more powerful weapons.
The only disappointment was in the flying saucer control. It wasn't all that realistic and was limiting. Also, the game was too short, maybe in the next version the game can be longer with more challenging scenarios.
The game reminds one of the 1960's black and white science fiction movies. The 'B' movies that attracted so many people to the Saturday matinees. For those born after 1970 the game clearly borrows some of the fun and the horror for Mars Attacks. Good Fun!
