    I remember buying this game on release back in 2005 and really enjoying it! and honestly, I had a blast playing through it again! however, it would be stupid of me to ignore its faults..

    first off the audio drove me crazy, I loved the fact the original voice actors reprised their roles as Richard Steven Horvitz and J. Grant Albrecht are pretty irreplaceable but the scratchiness of the overly compressed audio sounds pretty bad but it's not awful.

    the second thing that was kind of annoying was the overly long loading times, I do feel they could have worked on that and improved it but it did kill the pacing a lot of the time and I'm surprised that wasn't one of the improvements they made.. like REALLY surprised.

    I also think 25 pounds was a little steep for a 10 hour 15-year-old game with a new lick of paint.. that price range is getting into witcher 3 territory.. I really think for that price they should have remade 1 and 2 and sold it as a bundle, a bit like what they did for Spyro which also came out at the same price point. tbh the price is actually my biggest complaint I think value for money is important these days and I can see this game going in the sales at like 5.99 in the not so distant future (which I wish I would have waited for and then I would have given it an 8 or even an 9) I respect and understand they remade a lot of the cutscenes and might say that to justify the price but still.. it really all comes down to a new coat of paint.

    However, in saying all this I still gave it a 7 (would of been a 7.5 if this site allowed it) which is a good score and I think a fair one! If like me you bought this game as a kid and loved it then you will love it all over again I must emphasise despite my criticisms I still loved and had a blast during my 12 hours of playing and don't regret getting it! it's a short funny blast from the past, it was a cult classic for a reason and even though I don't see myself replaying it for a few months it will naturally be a game I go back to and replay for the nostalgia.

    If you haven't played destroy all humans before it's a funny game where you play as an alien causing mayhem and I don't need to say more than that because by that description you are rather totally convinced or know it isn't for you.

    again, I loved it and if it hadn't of been for the long load times and scratchy voice audio and came in at a slightly lower price point I would of given it an 8.5 but for now it's a blast to play and a real love letter to the fans so for them I urge to buy. If you are new and are on the fence maybe wait for a sale.

    i'm STILL in hope that the series will actually be rebooted/revived and get a brand new modern entry as I think ultimately that's what it needs and I would think it would do well :)

    I don't like or enjoy writing critical reviews but I believe the score and what I've said is as fair as I can as a fan without being biassed and ignoring its flaws and price point. But I will say if you are a big fan like me then definitely get it ! :D    … Expand

    Like! It's not a BAD game at all!

My biggest gripe with the game is honestly just the lack of ammo spawns around the maps! I really feel as if this game could have benefited immensely by having them around instead of using the damn slow ammo thing.

    Boss battles also kinda suck (very grindy) hmm and overall the game is SUPER easy. I liked it for the first 5 hours, but after that I started to lose my patience with the overall game. Comedy can be very hit-and-miss also.    … Expand

    Fantastic, unique game. However I can't help but feel the art style is a bit too similar to the modern Saints Row games.

    I'm glad this remake was made since i had not played the original, and while it didnt exactly set my world on fire, i did have a decent amount of fun playing it. The graphics look up to date, but at its core Destroy All Humans still feels like a game from mid-00's, which is both its strength and weakness. Crypto and Pox easily are stars of the show and their banter is just hilarious.

    Modern games industry could use a resurgence of simple, unpretentious fun little AA games like this that are there to entertain, not to win awards at circle jerk game awards shows.    … Expand

    This game is very funny but after half of the game you will be bored. The gameplay is easy.

    Во-первых, на мой взгляд, это отличный ремейк на который стоит ровняться многим студиям. Но всё-таки, игра кажется не доделанной. Разработчики не смогли удержать ту планку, тот уровень, который предстаёт нам в начале игры.Во-первых, на мой взгляд, это отличный ремейк на который стоит ровняться многим студиям.

    Прикольный трейлер, классная задумка. Давно хотелось поиграть против людей. Но реализация так себе. Скучновато оказалось.

Undeniably weird, and consisting of a pretty fair variety of tasks from mind control, to some stealth, to all-out blowing stuff up and more I was also pleasantly surprised with how it remained pretty fresh throughout for the most part… though perhaps its pacing and reliance on connective cut-scenes that each need to load feels pretty dated as well. In terms of looks and performance I’d say it’s pretty consistent with many refreshed updates from previous generations, with everything having a certain unrefined look and some performance quirks at times that typically run a bit more pronounced when playing in handheld mode. All in all I can understand why people enjoyed Destroy All Humans in its original outing, and putting myself into the time when it was released I can even see how it would have fared well among its brethren, if nothing else by just being an atypical animal in the herd. If you’re feeling nostalgic and would like to recapture some of that fun it will likely deliver the goods, but if you don’t have that connection it’s up in the air for a recommendation… and would really depend on whether your love for games that feel off-center and different with abundant humor is more important than more compelling and consistent action and excitement.

    Destroy All Humans! was rebuilt from scratch, but when it comes to the gameplay experience, it is identical to the 15-year-old original game. As a result, the story campaign feels outdated and gets stale after some time even despite the large arsenal of skills and weapons. It still is a fun game though and thanks to new visuals exploring the remade maps is a pleasure. [10/2020, p.52]

    Overall mediocre game is saved by tons of humour and open-world like missions. Destroy All Humans! works perfectly as a nostalgic reminder while it proves that videogames have made a huge leaps and old school mechanics are just boring. [Issue#305]

    Despite less-from-stellar controls, missions that actually ask player to destroy all humans are fun; too bad that they are heavily interspersed with absolutely uninspired stealth segments. [Issue#247, p.71]
