Destroy All Negative Reviewers! March 6, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Destroy All Humans was a great game and this is just as good, if not better.
They really didn't change that much, they simply took good old Crypto and put him in some new locations, gave him some new fantastic weapons, and some new & creative missions.
First the weapons: In addition to the electricity and disintegration guns from the original game you have things like a shooting disk that drags enemies (or vehicles) around, and "The Meteor Strike" (IMHO the finest weapon ever). There do seem to be a few weapons that either because you get them late in the game or because they have limited ammo really serve no purpose.
The missions are a bit more varied than the first game. There are story missions, optional missions, and Arkvoodle cult missions. The game's story locations include SoCal's "Bay city", England's capital "Albion", The island nation off the coast of China "Takoshima", a Russian town "Tungska", and "Solaris", a moon base. The Arkvoodle missions have some of the funniest material in the game. Essentially you are trying to convince groups to join your cult with a number of funny possible responses to their specific needs.
They also added a multiplayer aspect to the game. It is good, but you are tethered to your 2nd player rather than just each freely roaming. I do love that all of the game can be 2-player, not just particular missions.
Finally there are some negatives. First, I can't be sure, but I think this is the same engine as the first game. Nothing inherently bad with that (see Grand Theft Auto 3 & GTA Vice City), but with the same engine it is harder for this game to stand on its own.
Second: there are a lot of bugs in the game. Since it has an auto save, you can't really lose much of anything, but the game did freeze up on me during game play. Most of the bugs seem to be related to defeated enemies. For example someone dies on you and you are stuck in that place until the game works around that bug by launching you high into the air. That happened all the time. You will notice that most of these bugs do not stop game play or cause you to lose saved info the way other game's might.
Finally, and worst of all, the game is easy (also no difficulty settings). I may have failed a few missions due to getting shot to death or drowning (crypto can't swim), but you completely heal after 10-15 seconds of not getting shot. It is rather hard to die if you are even slightly careful. In a pinch you can use a mind control technique "Free love" where everyone will start to hippie dance and not notice you.
This game is quite literally the original game with new locations, weapons, & missions - not that there is anything wrong with that. DAH! was a great game. This game is the same essential game with more "stuff". Also for the record this game is hilarious. If you enjoyed the first game then pick this one up.
 love it February 15, 2007

my son has the first Destroy All Humans and he thinks this one is better he loves it.
a lot of fun and time consuming January 4, 2007
My son loves this game but to be fair, I warn you that it uses a lot of slang words including but not limited to the D--n word. I'm not too thrilled about that.
 NO where near as Good as DAH 1 January 4, 2007

This game would be alright, had I never played the original. The original game's humor was much better. The plot was more interesting. The game's physics made the game more enjoyable. For instance, the
holo-bob feature seemed a lot more sleaker than the body snatch feature in the sequel. Do your self a favor and stay away from this one, rent only.
Just as good as the first one!!!! January 1, 2007

Destroy all Humans! 2 is just as good as the first one in many ways. In D.A.H.2, You still play as Crypto and you get a whole lot more weapons! I love the fact that you actually take control over other people's bodies. Although, the reason why I gave the game four stars is because it can get a little repetitive at some times. The best part about this game is that it is multiplayer! Overall, it's a pretty cool game.
