Rating: 8

Time with product: 4 Months

Strengths: 2 player co-op. Great graphics and sense of humor. Fun free roam.

Weaknesses: Can get boring. Lots of running back and forth trying to find certain people

Summary: Destroy All Humans 2 is pretty much just like the first game except this time it takes place in the 60's. You will travel from America to Japan this time around. The graphics and physics engine are still great along with the ability to play however you want. The sequel features a few new weapons for both you and your spaceship. The game also features 2 player co-op this time around. All in all, if you like the first game, you will surely love the sequel. A

Strengths: New weapons/abilities, good sense of humor, solid voice talent

Weaknesses: Doesn't expand on original game play, uneven difficulty, unimpressive graphics, short overall length

Summary: The original Destroy All Humans had a consistent sense of humor in its take on 1950s era sci-fi flicks, and while the sequel covers mostly the same ground, it loses something in the balance. Our hero Crypto deals with the 1960s era in Destroy All Humans 2 (and its requisite hippies, Russian spies, etc.), but the game play and graphics haven't changed much since the original outing. The script writing is sometimes uneven, but the voice work mostly makes up for this. Consumers have lots of sandbox style games to choose from these days, and Destroy All Humans 2 is another of these options. It's a good but not great adventure game, but fans of the original will surely find lots to like here. For $10 or less, fans of sandbox or adventure games should definitely consider a purchase.

Strengths: .

Weaknesses: .

Summary: GOOD: better graphics than the original; new weapons and abilities added to your current arsenal; excellent voice actingBAD: not as funny as the first game; many of the other characters are uninterestingGame plays likes its predecessor; five different areas and cities to explore; not as much stealth missions as the previous game; you also get new telekinetic powers and abilities; you can steal bodies again but now there's a time limit; can get difficult at times especially in escort missions because they're so many enemies bombarding you with bullets and missiles that your escort will die and you'll have to start again; piloting a flying saucer can be hard at times since you'll be constantly bombarded by tanks and anti-aircraft missiles which can get frustrating.

Rating: 10

Time with product: 2

Strengths: New locales, same satirical humor, co-op play

Weaknesses: More evolutionary than revolutionary, only decent graphics

Summary: Destroy All Humans 2 is a sequel to the previous game, though with some decent improvements. It's now set in the 60's in London, and it keeps the same biting, satirical humor from the previous game. Co-op play is added, which helps give some added replay value, though the game isn't that different from the previous game. The graphics are a little dated, though still look OK.
