Destroy All Humans!

"This game has taken cow abuse too far..."

Story: The game pits you as an alien named Crypto Sporidium 137 sent down to the Earth to collect brain stems from humans. Why? Well, because a long time ago, after destroying Mars, the Furons (The race of aliens which you will be working for) sort of... "implanted" Furon DNA into the humans genetic code. Seeing as the Furon lack a means of reproduction because they don't sport any genitalia, cloning is their means of continuing their race. Even with this super advanced alien race, cloning technology is flawed and you must collect DNA to refreshen the process. So, you being by being sent down into Earth to do the Furon's dirty work...

Gameplay:7 /10
A lot of games have really tried to use the "sandbox" system for their games, but I must say this game actually utilizes it decently. Although there are better games out there which such a system (like GTA for instance) this game is really a must-buy for those who just love the idea of taking a gun and just killing everybody in sight (Which I think most people are guilty of). Being the filthy human you are, you will definitely get sick of slaughtering your own race, but luckily Crypto's refreshing sense of humor will once again really make you want to pick up the gun and just blast everyone in your sight. In the long run, however, this game gets repetitive for a lack of long-term depth. I must say though, the story really makes you feel like you're "Destroying all Humans", but once you're done with it, there isn't much too do. It's a good system, but just isn't well utilized because of the length...

Sound: 8/10
From the time you pick this game, to the time you set it down, the sound will literally blow you away. The voice-actors sound like they're actually in peril, and the generic UFO music is always a blast of fresh air, and you will find yourself just waiting to hear this music. The game really utilized it's resources well, and the music is definately a notch above many other games out there.

Graphics:7 /10
There are many different viewpoints on the graphics. You could say that they're under par by just comparing it to the polished graphics of some games out lately, or you could say they're awesome and are a real treat from the earlier games graphics. It really lies in-between there, somewhere where you can say they're good, but not TOO good. This category was really a hard choice for me, but it will definitely have to be...

Overall:7 /10
Overall the only thing you can really say about it is that it's a solid and genuinely fun game to play, but can get repetitive after laying waste to the same town over and over. There's lots of things to unlock, from movies to extra content, to even just reaching a self set goal; such as completing the game with 100% without dying once. It'll definitely wind up being a classic, and really can't be overlooked by anybody who liked the GTA series. Moo...
