AndrewTS Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 Source: 1up.com Destroy All Humans! 2 Announced Prepare for the invasion coming this fall. by Dan Dormer, 04/18/2006 Coming out for both the PS2 and Xbox this Fall, Destroy All Humans! 2 puts in the intergalactic spandex of a Furon Scout Crypto 137, an alien with one mission - to destroy all of us. Taking place in the 1960s, Cyrpto will have to deal with hippies (sorry, man), British secret agents (Bond, James Bond?), and Japanese movie monsters (GOJIRA!?) in his attempt to conquer Earth. There's no word yet if this game will get a little extra spit and polish for a next-gen release, but look for more information on this title as we get closer to E3. Looks very interesting. The original game has a lot going for it: (the lampooning of sci-fi cliches, the hilarious voice acting, the imagination put into the weapons and scenarios. The biggest downfall was that like a lot of sandbox-style games, far too quickly you were just doing variations on the same old tasks. It wasn't as bad as some games (I'm looking at you, Spider-Man 2), but this gives the developers opportunity to expand on those minor gripes. Although hopefully they can mine the comedy potential out of the 60s as well as they did the 50's.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 Disintegrating hippies. Awesome. Never got around to playing the first, but I might have to go get this one.
AndrewTS Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Posted April 21, 2006 First one is pretty cheap these days. I played through a pretty good portion of it, so if you have questions about it, feel free to ask. Crypto, the main character of the first game, is from a long line of Furon clones...his brother was sent to earth on a DNA-retrieving mission. The Furons lost the ability to sexually reproduce, so they have to use cloning. The gene pool has gotten pretty thin as a result. Long in the past, their race bred with humans so humans have samples of the alien DNA. You get it from their brains, and often that involves things such as shooting a probe up humans' asses and making their heads explode. My fave part was controlling the UFO and lighting up a countryside with the death ray. However, as you started getting into the more dangerous urban areas, before you knew it, if you drew the slightest bit of attention you'd have army guys all over you. You had a host of telekinetic abilities, such as levitating objects, disguising yourself with a holo-image, and controlling humans' minds. There's a drive in theater which shows a scene from Plan 9 from Outer Space, too. Grant Albrecht, as Crypto, does a neat Jack Nicholson impression for his voice.
AndrewTS Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Posted April 21, 2006 BTW, the original game is GH now and available for 20 bucks new.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 The only problem I see with blasting hippies is that they're not much of a challenge. All they do is just sit there and go, "woah, man." Did I just say that?

KingPK Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 I hope that they at least offer some more variety in the weapons/abilities (there wasn't as much as people think there was) and fix/junk the stealth gameplay (which was complete crap in the original).
Jericholic82 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 I never played the original, should get it now since it's cheap. well if I get that job I applied for I can finally buy some new stuff lol
