Cryptosporidium-172
Feeble humans run and buy Destroy All Humans from THQ! This game is a must play, whether you rent or buy it. This game is set in the 1950s and designed to be a spoof of all the B-Movies from that era. The twist is that you play the aliens hellbent on taking over the planet. The game should be applauded just for the original concept. But, that's not the only reason. The story is so quirky and funny, you have to play it twice to catch all the jokes. The voiceovers are excellent and fit very well with the setting. The alien gadgets are so much fun to use. Just imagine lifting an army vehicle with your mind and throwing it into a crowd of people. Then, finishing them off with an anal probe. Of course, not all weapons are immediately available and must be unlocked. The game using an open-ended world much like Grand Theft Auto, but this game is hardly as wide-open. You are told which mission to do and in what order. However, there are tons of side missions you can attempt in between story missions. The good thing is that most missions are open-ended so that you can decide how to complete them. Use your disintegrator or ionizer, it's up to you. The problem is that the story itself isn't too long, only about 10 hours or so. But, as I mentioned earlier, there are tons of side missions and above all the story is entertaining enough to play it more than once. The problem I do have with the game is that there is no multiplayer. In an era where multiplayer is vital, those games without cannot reach their full potential. Thus is the fate of Destroy All Humans. An entertaining game that's a bit short, nothing more, nothing less. So go ahead, rip the human race a new one.
