Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed

This remake looks fantastic and plays great but I ran into many, many bugs in my time playing -- some that required me to restart missions, but mostly visual/non-critical bugs. More than once objects and NPC's required to finish a mission would get stuck/lost in level geometry and once I couldn't finish a mission because a ground enemy was hovering in the air higher than I could reach. The game only crashed once but it was in the middle of a mission. The good news: the checkpoint system is fantastic. You'll rarely lose much progress even if the game crashes, since you will load right into the part of the mission you were at. My biggest complaint by far is one that carries over from the DAH 1 remake: no FOV slider. The game plays great on PC with solid keyboard and mouse controls but it is not fun playing with an FOV meant for players using a TV from across the room. It's especially annoying because the game looks great and I can't take it in properly with the camera zoomed way in. In conclusion: if you're patient & willing to restart missions, you might enjoy the game right now. If not, I'd wait for some patches. Either there wasn't a day one patch or it was included in the first GOG build but I'd wager in the next few weeks some updates are coming.

The Destroy all Humans games had a sex change side quest removed and reviewers are attacking GOG for it. YOU GUYS ARE UNINFORMED. GOG sells these games, they did not develop them and did therefore not remove any content. The game is fun and to those that blame GOG for any games' content , please note that you are blaming the wrong people. Be informed before you criticize.

Other than the crashing, the game is fun, a seamless move from the first one(which I also own) and I decided to buy both games on GoG to support the devs (so they maybe upgrade all the other dah games too) But this crashing BS @ the bongwater fight (no way to prevent crash, trust me, tried everything) and the exact same crash on various cut-scenes and anywhere there is 'smoke' or 'fog' (i think its a gpx memory leak issue related to the fog particle physics) I refunded both games, but am buying it again now in the hopes they fix it (while it is still on sale) and am just really hoping the issue is fixed inside the 1 month 'window' you have to return. update on 23/01/02 seems to have fixed it, game seems to run smooth now, at least not with constant un-avoidable crash at bongwater.

For those who never played any Destroy All Humans games (especially the originals), all you need to know is this is a goofy open-world alien shoot-em-up set in the swingin' 60s. The gameplay focuses a lot on blowing stuff up, but it does have a good variety of missions (escort, stealth, flying saucer etc), plus lots of side missions and collectables / unlockables to keep you busy. The story/dialogue is crammed full with pop culture refernces and has a good selection of pee/poo/fart/sex jokes. The game has a few bugs as other reviewers have mentioned but I've not experienced major bugs. Mainly funny physics glitches and NPCs getting stuck in objects. But I think that fits the character of the game (silly)! Visuals and music are decent too. Overall probably worth the ~£30. Definitely worth £20 or less if you find it on sale. For those who have played the original DAH2 and want to know how it compares --- First, I really enojyed the original DAH2 on PS2. And I am really enjoying this remaster too! I would say this remaster stays mostly true to the original, but with some exceptions. There are some quality of life "upgrades" they added which in my opinion don't really detract from the overall vibe of the original - S.K.A.T.E for example (which was in the DAH1 remaster too) just aids zipping around the map. The (gamepad) controls are different too but they're quite intuitive. However, they also made some inexplicable changes that I feel they should have left. For example, the Dislocator was super fun in the original but they changed it a lot for the remaster. Now it just bounces targets repeatedly into the ground like a basketball. Much less hilarious. Not sure why they changed it. Other reviews also mention the "Take it like a man" side mission (the sex change one) that was removed. Again, not a big deal but a bit inexplicable as I believe it was quite progressive at the time and it'd have probably been easy to tweak it to be even more progressive now.
