Destroy all Humans 1 was hilarious and the fun doesn't stop with Destroy all Humans 2. This time you get to choose what Crypto says to people. I highly suggest not going with the flow in conversations. Get a good laugh from what he says and responses he gets.
Some people hated the pop scenes in the original. Well, if you don't like that then you are out of luck. DAH2 has it too. I don't mind it though.
Crypto has few kickass guns to use and more mental abilities. Sauser has more weapons and upgrades as well. My two favorite weapons is Gastro and Anti-Gravity. Technically Gastro isn't a weapon but you will understand if you play the game.

NO MORE HOLOBOB. I hated that in the original and I am glad it is gone. They changed it to Body Swap. Crypto takes control of a person.
You don't fly off to the mothership for new missions any more. I won't say why but it will be clear early on. You use the sauser to travel the globe without having to goto the mothership.
You no longer collect DNA but not FuronTech. They are green glowing things around the cities but also gained from successful missions.

The game takes you to the following cities; Bay City [USA], Albion [UK], Takoshima [Japan], and Tunguska [Russia], and Solaris [Not on Earth]

The story intially involves alot of hippies. Don't be fooled. Destroy all Humans! 2 has much bigger plot. You will understand more in Russia but you start seeing tad bits in UK. There is a huge story arc. Consider the game Furon Empire vs **Secret**. If you want to know the secret, buy the game.

Some Suggestions to buyers:
1. Do side missions.
3. Focus upgrades on Shields -- Personal and Sauser.
3. Focus other upgrades on Death Ray, Disintegrator, and Anti-Gravity Field ASAP.
4. You grain more mental abilities with the Gene Blender.

If you want help with the game, Check out Pandemic Studios forum. I am a member there myself.

Now place that Order or buy it a local store. You will enjoy the game.

Hail to the Sacred Crotch of *********!

The first Destroy All Humans was very fun and addicting, but the second one manages to surpass it in every way. I love the way you can destroy pretty much anything you want. The first one was pretty good at destruction, but this one is even better.

The 2-player split screen is a nice touch, also. It adds more variety to an already variety-packed action game. I love the concept of this game so much.

Unfortunately, the challenge hasn't been increased any. You will still be able to beat the game quite easily and won't have to worry about dying often. That's the only problem I can find with this cool game.

Many people didn`t like the CO-OP in this game, and i can see why; but i absolutly love it! in multi-furon mode, you and a partner can play every single one of the missions, odd jobs, and Arkvoodle cults together. Or you can just freerom and kill humans together. Trouble is, both Furons have a leash on each other, and when they get too far they snap back. Most people will want to kill each other, not team up. for this reason, there`s PK tennis and the Duel mini-games. both self explanitory, both awsome.

I must say I bought this game right away because we enjoyed the first one so much. I love the game and had a ton of fun playing it. However, the commentary was just too long and it took us just a short time to beat the game.

However, there are lots of things to do. Lot's of interesting and annoying remarks! If your looking for an interesting game buy this game it was a ton of fun!

The original Destroy All Humans was a pretty fun game, but this game was tweaked and redesigned to make it much improved. Think Grand Theft Auto with a flying saucer and WMD's! The gameplay was varied and interesting, the dialogue funny, and the game environments very imaginative. I just rented this game, but would consider buying it because it would be fun to play again later.

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.

My son purchased this game an just loved it! He claims it has a good storyline and that the weapons were "Off the heezy" If my sons happy, Im happy too.

This is one of the best games I have ever played! you get to use the Zap-o-matic, Disintegrator ray, anal probe, Ion detanator, Meteor strike, dislocator, Burrow Beast, Gastro. For Saucer: Death Ray, Abducto beam, Drain, transmog, cloak, abduct, store, sonic boom, Quantam Deconstructor, Anti-gravity field. For Crypto: Mind flash, cortex scan, Extract, Free love, Forget, Follow, Protect, Phsykonesis, Jetpack, Body snatch. If you love shooting games this is the one to get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Destroy All Humans games are why I bought a PS2. I fell in love with it when I saw demo video. If you've seen any Grand Theft Auto, it's kind of like that. You have HUGE sandbox environments that you can run/fly around. You can pick when you do missions and when you just want to fly around destroying things and picking fights with the locals.

Destroy All Humans 2 manages surpass its predecessor, Destroy All Humans, in just about every single aspect of game play. Want more landing zones and the ability to call your ship so you don't waste time backtracking? Done. Want to add a second player? Done. Need the alert level up/down? Just body snatch a police officer and find a police phone. Annoyed trying to find those hidden items? Finish tasks to get a limited radar that helps you spot them when you're close. Need some help to keep the bad guys off your back? Enter Gastro!

Gastro was my favorite addition. He's an armored janitor who sounds kind of like Eddie Murphy and when fully upgraded, he can dish out some serious damage. I used him to buy some breathing room when fighting the end boss and he not only survived he took the guy down maybe a third of his life bar. You can only have one Gastro out at a time though and your ammo capacity for him is only one unit, so you can't go completely nuts using him.

I am conflicted when reviewing this game. As much as it improved on so many things, the game just loses something. Compared to the brilliant story of the first game, this one is mediocre at best. KGB drugging a city to make them become commies and rebel, boring. A single missile getting to your mother ship and destroying it with ease, pathetic. Replacing a homicidal alien ranting about destroying the pathetic monkeys on the planet with basically a horny teenager constantly spouting bad pickup lines and taking orders from a rouge Russian chick in the hopes he can maybe get laid, lame.

The greatest disappointment was the loss of the Majestics. If you haven't played the first game, they're basically the Men In Black. There was real danger in raising the city's awareness of your activities by causing too much havoc, but now you just have to worry about the army showing up. Majestics could see through your disguise, were crack shots, and sometimes had heavy weapons. Now you get attacked by tanks, but with your new transmutation ability you can literally grab them with your psychokinesis and squish them into a little ball of foil and that little ball even becomes ammo. You can theoretically stay in a fire fight vs the army forever.

Speaking of fighting, the changes to your space ship are especially helpful. A handy feature that was added is a cloaking device. It doesn't last very long, but it can be very helpful for tasks that require you to pick something up and drop it off without damaging it. The biggest advantage however is that once unlocked, you can now transmute destroyed vehicles into ammunition. This means you can use your big guns much more often. It's really cool, but kind of makes things a little too easy; the ability to drain health from intact vehicles is also handy but again removes some challenge. All things considered, the game is simply much easier than the first one for both ground and saucer combat, but a word of advice, the more lives you lose the harder the final mission is to complete.

Even with the weaker story and a little lack of challenge, this game won't disappoint. I got maybe 25 hours of play out of it, though the last 5 hours were cleaning up the final odd jobs and locating all the alien cells and artifacts. Especially for the low price, getting this game is really a no brainer. Buy the game. You'll love it!

This was definantly an improvement over the first game, it was alot of fun to play, and Crypto's human hating comments were great. Lots of side missions will keep you playing for a while
