I got the most chuckles during its opening, while the crude humor somewhat waters down with repeated NPC talk. The remake sticks to the original game’s plot without correctness, giving Crypto and his mission support Pox shameless banter over the human race’s weirdness. Players in 2020 are thrown into the political climate of 1950’s America, as the country is being invaded by aliens during an era of post-WW2 national security. As a member of the Furon Empire, Crypto is also on a mission to study humans, who contain a key to saving their species.īut the wild goose chase only gets funnier with timing. Going incredibly faithful to its 15-year-old source material, players become typical, trigger-happy grey alien Crypto 137 as he lands on Earth to rescue captured brother Crypto 136.
It also offered a somewhat definitive space invaders experience with third-person action adventure. The original Destroy All Humans! was introduced as a game that poked fun at the extraterrestrial genre.
