Video Game Reviews of Destroy All Humans
Customer Review: Invader Zim and THEN some!
Summary: 5 Stars
OMG why didn't they think of this one earlier! The controls aren't what I normally like, stupid camera angle that you have to change all the time with the right stick. Why can't game creators understand the popularity of GTA games and the like, are not only because of the story but the PLAY as well! Auto center would be GREAT in this game! It is my only complaint on that. Other little stuff is that people see you when there is a wall between you. Odd right? So the alert goes high when you're trying to be undiscovered.
Otherwise a GREAT game for adults as well as kids. If you think little boy or girl shouldn't play a teen game, think again. If it is too "adult" for them, it goes over their heads. No reason they can't have some "south park-like" fun here in this stress reliever! Reminded me of the nintendo south park game. But the Invader Zim voice makes it SO loveable. It is what got it past the 4 stars mark!

I found this game to be boring and the graphics were not the best. If you like little green men, go for it.Customer Review: Mars Attacks!
Summary: 3 Stars
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 1950'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

Customer Review: Hilarious and a Ton Of Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Clever, unique and funny always gets my vote.
And that's the case here with "Destroy All Humans".
Set in 1950's America - all alien attacks are, of course,
"covered up" by the government and blamed on "communists".
Kids may not always get some of the references to the 1950's,
and miss some of the humor.
But where else can you fly a saucer, levitate cows, read minds with
alien ESP powers, use a Zap-O-Matic ray gun, and collect human brain stems for their DNA?
In the end? Just plain old FUN.
Recommended.
Customer Review: Better Than Most
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm no kid, but enjoy playing games on PS2. I normally buy used games, and the adage you get want you pay for holds true. This game is really fun without a whole lot of clues or puzzles to solve. It is even humorous, with the alien making smart comments about the humans.
