Destroy All Humans

The 'Destroy All Humans!' series has been a wild ride for fans of chaotic alien antics since the first game dropped in 2005. There are five main titles in the franchise: the original 'Destroy All Humans!' (2005), its sequel 'Destroy All Humans! 2' (2006), the spin-off 'Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed' (2008), the more experimental 'Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon' (2008), and the recent remake 'Destroy All Humans!' (2020).

I personally adore the remake—it captures the humor and destruction of the original while polishing the visuals and gameplay. The series has this unique charm, blending B-movie sci-fi tropes with over-the-top weaponry. It's a shame 'Path of the Furon' didn't get as much love; its open-world ambitions were ahead of their time, but the janky execution made it a cult favorite rather than a mainstream hit.

The 'Destroy All Humans!' series has always been this wild, chaotic sandbox where you get to play as an alien wreaking havoc on 1950s Earth. The original games were single-player only, but the 2020 remake by Black Forest Games added a local co-op mode called 'Destroy All Humans! – Clone Carnage.' It's a blast—literally! You and a friend can team up to cause mayhem in split-screen, battling waves of humans or competing in mini-games.

That said, the main story campaign is still solo-only, which makes sense given its narrative focus. I kinda wish they'd expand the multiplayer options in future installments—imagine online co-op with a squad of aliens terrorizing cities together! Until then, the remake's co-op mode is a fun addition, even if it's not the core experience. Honestly, laughing with a friend while vaporizing farmers never gets old.

Man, I was so hyped when they announced the remake of 'Destroy All Humans' a few years back! The original was this cult classic from the PS2 era where you play as an alien wreaking havoc on 1950s Earth—total chaotic fun. And yes, the remake is available on PS5! It’s technically the PS4 version, but it runs beautifully on the newer console with faster load times and smoother visuals. I played through it last summer, and the upgraded graphics really make Crypto’s ridiculous antics pop. The humor holds up too, though some of the satire feels even sharper now. If you’re into sandbox destruction with a retro sci-fi twist, it’s a blast.

One thing that surprised me was how well the controls translated to modern gameplay. The original had janky mechanics, but the remake smooths everything out while keeping the over-the-top vibe. You can still abduct cows and zap humans with your ray gun, but now it feels way more polished. The DLC packs are worth checking out too—they add extra missions and skins. Honestly, it’s a great nostalgia trip with enough improvements to feel fresh. I ended up platinum-ing it just because I couldn’t put the controller down.

The buzz around 'Destroy All Humans! 3' has been circulating for ages, and I totally get why fans are antsy. The rebooted series by THQ Nordic breathed new life into Crypto’s chaotic antics, and 'Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed' left us craving more. While there’s no official announcement yet, the franchise’s resurgence suggests it’s not off the table. The devs have been tight-lipped, but the demand is undeniable—just look at how the remakes revitalized the cult classic vibe. I’ve sunk hours into the original games, and the idea of a fresh sequel with modern mechanics, maybe even expanded open-world chaos, has me crossing my fingers.

That said, THQ Nordic’s track record with revivals gives me hope. They’ve been dusting off gems like 'SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom' and 'Kingdoms of Amalur,' so why not Crypto? The second remake’s 2022 release feels like a testing ground for interest, and if sales were solid, a third installment could be lurking in pre-production. Until then, I’ll be replaying 'Reprobed' and daydreaming about obliterating hippies with new-gen tech.

The voice behind Crypto in 'Destroy All Humans!' is none other than J. Grant Albrecht, and honestly, his performance is half the reason the character feels so iconic. Albrecht brought this weirdly charming mix of sarcasm and menace to Crypto, making him more than just a generic alien invader. The way he delivers lines like 'I crave the succulent taste of human flesh' with this deadpan humor totally sells the game’s B-movie vibe.

I’ve replayed the original game recently, and Albrecht’s voice work still holds up. It’s funny how a voice can elevate a character from 'silly premise' to 'unexpectedly memorable.' Even in the 2020 remake, they kept his voice clips intact because they’re just that perfect. Makes me wish he’d popped up in more stuff—his voice is like liquid snark.
