Reviews VideoGame / DestroyAllHumans1

VideoGame Pure, entertaining violent fun that lets you unleash your inner misanthropy

Game's Strengths

• You get to play an alien who comes with telekinesis, telepathy, holographic disguises, psychic hypnosis, super laser guns, detonators with remote controls and a giant UFO that can create quantum blasts. HOW COOL IS THAT??!!!
• You have all the humans you can kill, extract DNA brain stems from, hypnotize / play with and make them act like a monkey or a total clown, sometimes literally drop a car or tank on them.
• Great comedy - especially because the humans are hilariously stupid and Pox is quite a comedian too. My favorite joke was when Crypto lifted a policeman in the air. I laughed my ass off when I heard what the policeman's refutal was, "Put me down or you're under arrest!"
• The game has a great sense of humor mostly reliant on Humans Are Bastards OR Humans Are Morons. Through Crypto's perspective you can see that humans are divided into brainwashed cattle that eat hamburgers (metaphorical cannibalism) and watch TV thinking they're free and that democracy is alive and functioning and then you see that the US Government is really just a puppet of world-domination hungry assholes who see citizens as nothing more than puppets and ATMs (watch propaganda on TV, work at jobs to make money, pay taxes to government).
• I would say my favorite level was when Crypto had to escort a nuclear bomb (hypnotizing a truck driver) while clearing the truck's path and making sure nosy scientists don't disarm it.
• While I don't really like the side missions, I did enjoy the one where you had to kill off only the female humans (there's no color-coding for which ones are female, you just have to guess - not that I'm complaining) because Pox states that way men have nobody to sexually harass and provide entertainment value.
• Well, this is a problem with most video games, but it glamorizes murder as a form of expressing your misanthropy and your refusal to share this planet with 7 billion others. I'm not saying you SHOULD do what Crypto does in this game of course, Columbine High School teens who did the 1999 shootings played violent video games.

Game's Flaws

• The fighting component can get a little tedious - in most missions all you're required to do is mow down endless armies of men with guns. I mean it can be fun, but you have to spent hours doing so. I think it's most fun when you also have additional tasks to do while killing.
• Can get cacophonous especially when there's 20 or 30 police/soldiers all firing their weapons at you.
• There's no children or babies to kill, Crypto can only kill adult humans.
• Crypto can't multi-task, you have to choose either to only fire or hypnotize or extract a brain but you can't do more than one thing at the same time.
• Lack of "mission" diversity - some missions are just repeats of others.
• It's a little too short and you can't replay your favorite mission once you completed it.
