Destroy All Humans!

"Finally you can destroy the humans instead of you destroying the aliens!"

Destroy All Humans is a fun Xbox game in which you must, as the title says, destroy all of the humans.

Gameplay:
This game is a Grand Theft Auto style game where you run around and do missions. Only in this game you can't steal cars and you will only receive your missions from one person. That is your leader which is located on the Mothership.

The controls in this game are pretty good. When you use your different abilities though, they get a little hard to get use to. After playing for a while they get a little better.

This game is not very hard because of all of the powers that the main character can use. My favorite being Psychokinesis. This ability allows you to lift pretty much anything, that is not bolted down to the ground, with your mind. This is one of the powers that are a little hard to use at first because of the controls.

Graphics & Sound:
The graphics in this game are good. They could have been a little bit better but I'm not complaining. Some of the explosions that came out of the weapons looked very nice.

The sound effects in Destroy All Humans are pretty good as well. The sound goes good with the weapons and some of the things that the people in this game said was funny. Another ability that the main character has is called Cortex Scan. This allows you to read peoples minds. Somethings that people are thinking are pretty funny and weird.

Story:
The story to Destroy All Humans is strange. The Furon's have sent Crypto 137 to Earth to bring them back some human DNA found inside of the brain stem. The Furon's have learned to clone themselves, but with each iteration their information has degraded and the results are increasingly unpredictable. The DNA found inside of the humans should fix their problem.

Final Recommendation:
I think that this is a great game that is worth all the money that it costs. This is the type of game that you can just pick up and go play anytime.

Final Score: 9/10
