History YMMV / DestroyAllHumans

* GoddamnedBats: Missile launchers in the first and second game. In the first game, they launch a single missile that is near impossible to dodge and does a crap ton of damage to your saucer. The damage is toned down in the second game, and the tracking less potent, but now they launch '''THREE''' missiles at once. Add to the fact that on high alert levels, they show up everywhere and can now move, and you will be swooping, ducking, weaving and dodging to avoid the buggers, as they will fill the sky '''VERY''' Quickly. And to top it all off, there is a graphical bug on the PS2 version of the second game, which removes the exhaust contrail on occasion, meaning you won't see the rockets until it's too late.

* PortingDisaster: The reason the PS2 and PSP versions of BWU, and the [=PS3=] version of DAH!3, were cancelled.

** If you didn't hate Natalya, her [[spoiler: clone suffering an off-screen death which is brushed over in Path of the Furon]] can seem rather anti-climactic.

* AnticlimaxBoss: An irritating number of examples, though some are more because of you can become rather overpowered over the course of the game (Meteor Gun, anyone?)
** Oranchov''s [[spoiler: Blisk mutant form]] might give you some trouble, since it comes early in the game. Unless you use the Anal Probe (which you find mere moments before teh fight) to turn [[spoiler: turn him human again.]] He's about as squishy as any KGB Agent.

* RomanticPlotTumor: Natalya and Crypto. Natalya even gets some status as TheScrappy, despite the fact that Crypto is the one hitting on her. As mentioned above under PretendPrejudice, by the time DAH!2 rolls around, Crypto's only concern is having sex with anything female. This is worsed by Natalya, as Crypto falls madly in love with her. And so, as a result, Crypto spends the entirety of DAH!2 trying to have sex with Natalya, not even caring about what his enemies are up to.

* DudeNotFunny: The game is utterly merciless to every country featured, but the constant Asian jokes in Takoshima and Shen Long can get particularly uncomfortable at times.
** Crypto's ''constant'' sexual advances on Natalya. Though most of these can actually be skipped if the player chooses to ignore [[YouBastard the dialogue option.]]

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Gameplay wise, [=DAH2=] expanded and improved on the first games features, and brought just enough new stuff to the table.

* {{Sequelitis}}: ''Big Willie Unleashed'' and ''Path of the Furon'' were held in ill-regard by many critics. The former was thanks to [[Flanderization flanderizing most of the main cast]] and pressing the ResetButton after DAH2's ending, and not really trying anything new incomparison to ''2''. ''Path of the Furon'', however, was just a flat out ObviousBeta.

** You could blame Big Willie Unleashed's quality on it's being developed for the Wii. Path of the Furon, however, is flat out unfinished.

* UnfortunateImplications: At the end of DAH2, Natalya [[spoiler: is killed, and Crypto clones her so they can be together.]] Of course, Crypto being Crypto, makes a few changes. Namely [[spoiler: making her completely infatuated with him and eager for sex.]] Later, [[spoiler: she dies again]] before the events of Path of the Furon and Crypto barely cares enough to mention it.

** If you didn't hate Natalya, her [[spoiler: clone suffering an off-screen death which is brushed over in Path of the Furon]] can seem rather anti-climactic.

* FanDumb

** Silhouette and possibly General Armquist, though Armquist was definitely more of a challenge. Played horribly straight in DAH!3, in which some of the bosses barely even move, and especially if you have an [[MoreDakka upgraded Ion Detonator]], except for [[spoiler: Henri Crousteau]].* BreatherLevel

** TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Silhouette, the BigBad of the original game, gets barely any screen time compared to later antagonists, making the [[spoiler: SamusIsAGirl]] twist have much less impact. Not to mention [[spoiler: she]] can take on Crypto in unarmed combat, and [[spoiler: her]] ridiculously sexist thoughts when scanned manage to [[CrossesTheLineTwice cross the line from offensive back to funny.]]

* ItsPopularNowItSucks: The series has gained a cult following, as well as fan haters, trolls, and the like.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many people claim that the changes in ''Big Willy Unleashed'' and ''Path of the Furon'' made them suck, and that they weren't neary as good as the first two. This is also mostly blamed on the two developers who picked up the series after Pandemic was bought out by EA.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: Destroy All Humans! 2 and 3 are on the easy side. [[HePannedItNowItSucks Critics didn't enjoy it.]]

* TheScrappy: Natalya and Crypto. Natalya gets most of the ire though, despite the fact that Crypto is the one hitting on her. As mentioned above under PretendPrejudice, by the time DAH!2 rolls around, Crypto's only concern is having sex with anything female. This is worsed by Natalya, as Crypto falls madly in love with her. And so, as a result, Crypto spends the entirety of DAH!2 trying to have sex with Natalya, not even caring about what his enemies are up to.

* BreatherLevel

* RuinedFOREVER: The fans opinion of Big Willy Unleashed.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: It's arguable that Pox is more popular than Crypto, especially after Crypto goes native. Though considering [[InvaderZim who voices him]], it's not hard to believe. Silhouette also counts.

* BetterThanItSounds: Really, the games ARE good, it's just that they're short.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: Why don't we get to fight [[spoiler:The Master at the end of DAH!3]]?

* UnpleasableFanbase

* {{Narm}}: Crypto's [[CaptainObvious "Uh-oh, that can't be good"]] line after the mothership is destroyed, considering the fact his commander and weapons were on it at the time. Also, when [[spoiler:Saxon strikes the Master down and Crypto holds him in his arms]], "The flower must die, for the fruit to live..." "WHO YOU CALLIN' A FRUIT OLD MAN?!", and Crypto's BigNo after [[spoiler:The Master dies.]]

* TheScrappy: Natalya and Crypto. Natalya gets most of the ire though, despite the fact that Crypto is the one hitting on her. As mentioned above under PretendPrejudice, by the time DAH!2 rolls around, Crypto's only concern is having sex with anything female. This is worsed by Natalya, as Crypto falls madly in love with her. And so, as a result, Crypto spends the entirety of DAH!2 trying to have sex with Natalya, not even caring about what his enemies are up to. Many fans argued [[FridgeLogic why couldn't he have just gone back to Furon and mated with one of his own kind]]. For this reason, much of the fanbase has come to loathe them both.
** It wasn't really possible for him to mate with one of his own kind considering that he's the only member of his species with any sort of working genitalia to speak of. Humans were his only option. Besides, humans have some Furon DNA, so that kind of helps to avoid some of the pitfalls of an InterspeciesRomance.
*** [[YourMilageMayVary YMMV]], by the time of DAH!2 they had probably sent enough DNA to Furon in order to give other Furons genitalia, so he could have very well gone to Furon and mated with a female. As for the humans having Furon DNA... yeah, it's just one strand. 99.9% of the DNA in a human body is human DNA, while .001% is Furon DNA. It's still a pretty huge pitfall.
