Well, Destroy All Humans! is another one of those games that looks like a lot of fun doesn't it? I certainly expected to enjoy it a lot but, not for the first time, something felt a bit hollow about it all. In fact when I went to buy this game I looked for good deals on both 1 and 2 and am glad I only bought the first (that's the extent to which I expected to have a great romp with it!). It's by no means a bad game but just failed to satisfy for me despite the pretty visuals and a concept that prior to play I thought sounded very fresh. Perhaps a good way of explaining this is that on the wacky-zany-crazy-funny etc... scale this game is a 6 when it should've been pushing it all the way up to 11. That's not to say this is an entirely serious game but it's sort of in this middle ground which doesn't sit too comfortably with the scale of carnage you get to wreak. The story's pretty dull as are the characters and it's not as satisfying running amok as in some sandbox games (although it may look it). That's about as best as I can put it without refering overly to intangible statements like "it didn't feel quite right".
