Destroy All Humans is a delightfully fun, albeit repetitive game that clearly takes a few pages from the script of “Mars Attacks,” complete with a Jack Nicholson impression for the main character’s voice.
The goal of this game is to send you romping across 1960’s USA, attempting to eliminate the vile infestation of humans from the surface of planet Earth. The humans, you see, contain vital nutrients in their brain stems. Your job is to harvest those brain stems while completing other various objectives. All the while, goofy humour is injected almost everywhere possible.
Gameplay is fairly straightforward, done in open-world style. “Levels” take place in various different arenas, ranging from a country fairground to sprawling urban settings. You mostly run around on foot to extract human grey matter and complete objectives, but you also have the ability to beam into your flying saucer and ray-gun humans and houses en masse. Apart from the main objectives, you can take part in a number of side activities like “Destroy a certain number of buildings within a time limit”.
All-in-all this game provides enough amusement to make it worth the rental, but I strongly discourage purchase on the grounds that the novelty wears off fairly quickly. Folks may knock the game for its simplicity, but I don’t believe that it ever promised more than what it is. This would be an ideal choice to rent when you need a good 8 or 10 hours of goofiness to fill the doldrums between big game releases.
Pros:
-Nutty, zany, “Mars Attacks” style humour
-Loveable characters
-Solid user interface
Cons:
-Very repetitive
