About
Crypto 138 has died in a saucer crash after becoming drunk. After the crash, Pox and Crypto 139 open a casino called “Space Dust” (A parody of Stardust Resort & Casino) which they use to maintain a steady flow of cash and human DNA. They discover that the local mob family sent a spy to gather information on them. Crypto infiltrates the mob’s casino and destroys the interior, driving out the customers, causing the mob to go to war with him.

Rambling:
Junk….. Thats all I have to say.

Gameplay:
3/5 – Singleplayer
You’re in this pretty small open world and all you do is go from mission to mission because there’s nothing really to do in the world. The first three missions were fun to do, but after that it got really boring.

Cut scenes mess up a lot, you will see people talking but the words are not matching up, there a few seconds off, and people will just disappear, into nothingness.

At least they got the running around and flying saucer part right, but it doesn’t make up for everything else.

2/5 – Multiplayer
Unlike the last Destroy All Humans, this one doesn’t have co-op it just has three game types and only one of them is somewhat good.

Brain-O-Matic: Team up with your friend to throw humans into a machine that will extract their brains for processing. Mmm, Brain Extract.

1/5 – Graphics:
Horrible pop-ins and pop-outs, some of the worst textures I have seen on the Xbox 360. It looks like it could have been played on a last-gen system.

Really, you might think I’m joking, but I can’t tell you how bad they are, and how many graphical glitches the game has.

The game ads a blur effect for buildings in a distance that makes the game look a little better, also the fire after blowing up cars is somewhat bearable.

2/5 – Sound:
The game try’s to be funny with a lot of stupid jokes. After the first ten minutes I got sick of it and turned the sound off.

Before I turned the sound off some of the effect noises like guns shooting and or your shields getting hit didn’t sound too bad.

In the end:
I recommend passing this one, don’t even rent it. If you want a good Destroy All Humans go buy the second one, you can pick it up for $8 bucks.

2/5 – Pass it
