    its gameplay and structure is dated but the graphics are nice and is a faithful remaster love the humour if you liked it back when it first released you'll most likely still enjoy it

    Destroy All Humans!
    Stuck in the past.
    Destroy all humans is a 3rd person shooter that takes place in 1950s America, and no this isn’t why this game is stuck in the past.. This remake of the 2005 game of the same name is one little revamped collection of everything wrong with video games. Here you play as an alien with one mission.. destroy all humans! This game takes place across a    Destroy All Humans!
    Stuck in the past.
    Destroy all humans is a 3rd person shooter that takes place in 1950s America, and no this isn’t why this game is stuck in the past.. This remake of the 2005 game of the same name is one little revamped collection of everything wrong with video games.
    Here you play as an alien with one mission.. destroy all humans!
    This game takes place across a nearly 5 hour long journey and is comprised of a bunch of individual missions..
    Here in destroy all humans you have a gun that can be used to electrify humans, and youre able to pick them up and throw then.. you also have a saucer that does about the same as your gun, and throughout this games missions youll be goin back and forth between the two..
    Destpory all humans starts with promise, but ends with problems..
    Its charming and humorous, but this care into world buildings deteriorates as the game goes on.. quickly turning into repetitive slog of mission structure games of today have thankfully fixed…
    You feel handcuffed here from start to finish.. youre forced for the most part to complete missions the way the game wants you to.. especially in the beginning, tons of stealth missions where youll be taking the form of certain humans to sneak into areas like a hitman game, but the moment youre seen its game over… something that plagued the assassins creed series and has since been fixed.. its frustrating and annoying to try and get lucky enough to take the identity of a human without being seen trying to do it.. it isn’t tense or fun like a stealth game should be, and the instant fail makes it even more annoying… speaking of annoying.. the bosses in this game… 3 tier bosses with no checkpoints… all feeling ridiculously cheap, and you don’t have much of an arsenal to deal with them, you do get new weapons as the game progresses, but theres not enough ammo given for you to properly even get to play with these weapon upgrades. And upgrading your weapons and character doesn’t do enough to make any significant changes in the feel of this game or your power… really making the overall gunplay unsatisfying for both gun and ship…
    that being said, destroy all humans does again have its charm, especially during its first half..
    There is potential in this game with its mechanics.. but destroy all humans never lets you have any fun with these mechanics and doesn’t use them to their full potential…
    I give Destroy All Humans
    a 6/10    … Expand

    Game was great untill the final boss just convoluted the game and splashes lasers everywhere and having the red screen appear and stuttering frame rate has put me so off from the game. Original game had a fun challenge with the final boss but this remake ruins it entirely.

    The game is fun at it's core but... The animation is clunky, and the voice acting is ok, I found only a few bugs and somehow I fell out of the map randomly, that needs a fix right there.

    It's a fun novel game with some unique mechanics and ideas. A great and faithful remake, but ultimately this game was forgotten for a reason and hasnt aged particularly well.

    Another masterfully done remake from top to bottom. Jump into an aliens skin and reek havoc upon the humans with blasters and space saucers. New and old players should definitely look to picking this remake up.

    Mission objectives are simplistic and the multiple sandbox maps are small by modern standards, but creative abuse of the game’s destructive weapons never fails to raise a smile. A welcome reinvasion. [Issue#179, p.70]

    A decent remaster. Despite some shortcomings it still is fun to join the destructive alien on his adventure, that not only appeals to a new audience, but to old Crypto-fans alike.
