It's a cute idea for a game, but the visuals left me so sick to my stomach that I cannot play it. I adjust them, turned off the head bobbing, but it still triggered major motion sickness. Wish I could play it, as the idea seems like a lot of fun. Really sad I cannot experience the greenhouse. Dialogue is a little stiff and fake sounding, with odd phrases and word choices (sounds like bad Google translations) that pulled me out of the experience. The whole thing feels very basic and like it's in early development. My biggest issue is the lack of customization. It's really odd for a life sim game to limit your character to a white straight man. No options for women, people of color, or other sexualities - just straight white dude that has to romance a woman. Really ruins the reality of the simulation.
Imagine the movie Mars Attacks combined with the video game Rampage. Add in a hefty dose of comedy, tons of pop references, and an alien with a voice reminiscent of Jack Nicolson, and you have Destroy All Humans, a great way to waste quite a few hours. I never did play the original, so I can only speak of this game. Graphics are amazing, physics are fantastic (it's so fun blowing up buildings and watching them fall), the game play difficult and fun to master. The comments in the game usually have me laughing out loud. You do have to grind a little, but there are so many ways to gather DNA that it keeps it fun and interesting. I've spent about 12 hours playing so far, and am less than halfway through the mission. I cannot imagine that it has a lot of replay value, unless a lot of time has passed, but I'm enjoying it a LOT. And yes, part of it is the anal probes.
