Destroy all humans 2 proves to everyone that sequels dont HAVE to suck.
Gameplay:
The game is based around a of story you saving the human race, instead of being around a story where you destroy it like the first one. But even though the storyline is saving mankind it dont stop you from having some human slaughtering fun the first game made so fun.The characters and their stories are very well developed and make them very believeable. A factor that most games tend to leave out. And the humour is brilliant. Especially when the story picks up and he meets the russian Natalya.They have brought back the weapons from the original game and stuck in 3 new weapons. The ufo has also been through a massive overhaul aswell with new weapons and a cloaking device. Also the maps are alot bigger and range rather radically from albion (london) to even the moon! The side missions are worthwhile this time around aswell as you earn points to spend on youre arsenal. Lording it over the human race you also got to spread the word of the furon god (who is very horny). The more of this you do the more areas people come to pray on the maps. These areas people wont mind about you and therefore you can harvest their brains to store up the mind bomb. The mind bomb is what you use to freeze the entire map giving you a chance for a quick getaway. You collect brains to charge it up and hold down circle to let it blow. Also the weapon and PK power upgrade system is brilliant. You can collect certain objects and buy upgrades and also abduct humans of differant gene types with youre ufo and mix them in the gene blender (not as hard as it sounds) Graphics:
Many games have proved that the playstation 2 can be a pretty powerfull system (metal gear solid, tomb raider legend) although its not the worst I have ever seen, destroy all humans 2 seems to let the system down graphically. The frame rate can slow down when two many explosions are on the screen and there are two many times when you look for a mission objective and find you cant do it because its merged with the scenery. However the humans do give the effect they are meant to (ie Natalya is kind of attractive. Not lara croft style but attractive enough)
Sound:
The soundtrack is brilliant from beetle style songs too thumping classical melodies and the voice acting is very good. Sound effects tend to be a bit simmilar but at the end of the day they are still good and do the job.
Value:
If you are planning on buying a game to show off graphical prowess then avoid this like the plague but if you want a game with a sweet sense of humour, great gameplay and just a sheer sense of fun then this is the game for you.
