Romier S Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 So no one else but me decided to buy this one? Shame since it's pretty damn fun in typical Pandemic "Mercenaries" fashion. I know alot of us are still in thrall of San Andreas so another GTA style sandbox game may not be your thing but this one has a definite unique quality to it. I've only played for a few hours but I'm definitely enjoying it as the missions get more complicated. Crypto gets to use Anal Probes on the locals, along with TK hurling cows, and using his flying saucer to wreak death ray havok on the countryside (using an overhead view and some nice explosion effects). All of this is set to a very Plan 9 From Outer Space/Ed Wood soundtrack and some funny banter between Crypto and the leader of the Furon peoples, Pox. Alot of folks complained about the lack of an invert option in the demo, you'll be happy to know that has been corrected for the retail release. The game looks great too, and has a great physics engine to boot (very similiar to the one in Mercenaries for those that played through that game). Being that the summer has been a very quiet one on the game front, I'd definitely recommend those who enjoyed Mercenaries give this one at the very least a rental.

Jeff W Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Never played Mercs but Destroy All Humans is going to be a definite buy, just haven't had time to get to the shop yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Oh this is definitely on the to-do list, especially after how much I enjoyed Mercenaries. Unfortunately San Andreas takes precedence (along with a holiday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemaEms Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Its on the way from Gamefly. I cannot wait to play this. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 It's on my list as well, but I'm on a short time game-buying freeze while I clear out some backlog. I like the concept of the game, and what I've read has been good, so it'll end up on the shelf soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff W Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Picked this up today, the xbox ver. must be popular as I had to hit 3 gamestops to find one and even then it was the display copy, they all had plenty of PS2 versions though.

Wow, my EB Games had about 40 copies. I bought the first one at about 2:00pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold! Well, at least Rented! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Plan to rent this soon. Might do a gamefly membership or something because the local Hollywood video has became a nightmare to rent from. Xplay gave it a decent review(4 out of 5). Looks like a good bit of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
