"Get ready to Destroy All Humans!"

Introduction
This game is based in the 1950's in various places around the world. You get to use very awesome alien technology, and before you ask, yes you do get a UFO to fly around. Yes it is very destructive and fun to fly around, and yes you will love it. A lot of people say this game is like Grand Theft Auto but with aliens. I do not really believe this because it seems very different from Grand Theft Auto in certain aspects but I can also see why people say this. There really isn't much to hate about this game. It is all done to basically perfection and I love it. It is time to become bent on destroying all humans!

Graphics 8/10
The graphics are good but definitely not great though the cut scenes and cinematics are good but when you are playing it doesn't look very great at all. But don't get me wrong it is ok but it just feels like it could have been so much better. I was just a bit disappointed in the game play's quality when it comes to the graphics. Or maybe it is just that I am used to God Of War, Final Fantasy 10 and other games like that.

Sound 10/10
The sound is great and the voice of Crypto is a I think his name is Jack Nicholson sound alike and the music wasn't too bad I don't remember much I haven't played this game in a while so I don't remember the music. But the jet pack, the voice overs, weapons and pretty much everything else having to do with sound is done to perfection.

Controls 10/10
The controls are perfect they come with instinct pretty much and I am pretty sure you can customize the controls if you aren't happy with them which I am wondering why you wouldn't be. Not much else to say about this.

Game Play 10/10
Ok this game is awesome what with its stealth missions using holobob which disguises you as human. You also have telekinesis it has a different name but I will call it telekinesis which you can use to pick things up throw them hypnotize them and also read their minds which is vital if you want to stay in holobob for an extended period of time as their thoughts fill your meter which would normally increase over a period a time but holobob and all other mind powers tax it until you stop and let it recharge. Also there is a satisfying amount of weapons which you have to unlock then buy which you pay for in DNA, which you get by extracting human brains which is another mind power. Also there is a flying saucer which you can also get weapons for. You can upgrade your telekinesis like being able to lift cars robots and tanks. Also the story is what you think it is, there are a lot of side missions but they don't differ much and there are also DNA things you collect there are a certain amount in each level and are hard to find but this is necessary to get 100%.

Overall 9/10
This game is really awesome but rent it don't buy it is just too much of a short and sweet experience to buy. But if you are one of those gamers that likes to get every single little thing in a game until it is one-hundred percent finished, then buy the game because it may take awhile to get all of the extras. Or if you have a lot of cash then just buy it anyway to add to your game collection.
