Destroy All Humans!

Not a great port. Fun for a bit, but just feels clunky

I grew up wondering what this game is all about, and now that I've had a chance to see it for myself, I get it. It's goofy fun, plays really well and comes across as a really neat love-letter to what I imagine the original must have been. Gameplay is responsive, the graphics are fine and the story rushes towards the end as things pick up, but I wish we had more encounters with our main antagonist before we got to what felt like a rushed ending. Had a great time.

Good

It didn't have to be this way, Armquist. What do- what do you mean? I mean this ridiculous war! We could've worked together, you and I, to forge a new future; a common future of peace and prosperity for our two peoples! Just put me out of my misery, will 'ya? I'm serious! You didn't want to destroy us? Of course not. We were as scared of you as you were of us; deep in our hearts, I think what really wanted was to be just like you. Really? Really. I guess... at the end of the day... we really are all just... human beings... ... [Armquist is disintegrated.] ... PSYCH! ... Pathetic human.

Ansich recht lustig, wird aber leider schnell langweilig.

It's interesting, I remember the 2005 original on PS2 being a lot more violent and a lot longer. For the violence, either it actually wasn't that violent, or they've ramped up the cartoonishness in this remake. For the length, I definitely owe that to just being more efficient with games now. Oddly, there is no achievement for finding all the lost Furon Probes - one of the banes of my childhood. Thanks to the internet, that probably wouldn't be a problem nowadays anyway. Nostalgia goggles off, it's still a fun open world game. The graphics do exactly what they're aiming for - not hyper realistic, but colorful and intentionally cartoonish. Stealth plays well, combat plays well, and the story pacing is solid, walking the line between taking itself too seriously and leaning into the toilet humor.
