Grant Albrecht and Richard Steven Horvitz have been recalled to provide the voices of Crypto and his sidekick Pox after being replaced on the decidedly rubbish ‘Big Willy Unleashed’ on the Wii. Their performance is, as ever first class. Note: I checked and no, it didn’t.ĭestroy All Humans! Path of the Furon does have a few saving graces.
DESTROY ALL HUMANS PATH OF THE FURON PS3 EBAY PS2
On one occasion I caught myself idly wondering whether the PS2 version of the game looked this bad. You will also notice that the ingame characters seem to have been modeled from two basic templates and the lighting is a sure candidate for the Worst Lighting in Video Games award. The textures are bland and the environments are the visual equivalent of sitting though an insurance seminar. Coming from a studio that gave us the widely acclaimed Summoner: A Goddess Reborn, we wondered whether Sandblast knew they were about to be canned after the game was completed and decided to stay home and phone in their ideas.Īlthough it utilises the Unreal engine, Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon still manages to be an incredibly ugly game. To say that playing Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon is about as much fun as watching old people eat is an understatement. The creatives at Pandemic were probably slapping their collective foreheads in frustration after this title was released. The challenges and side missions consists of a paint by numbers formula which boils down to blow up A, abduct B, take over C’s body and defend D from attack.

The games tasks you / Crypto with performing a series of mind numbingly dull challenges either on foot or in a saucer. And, yes, it is just a thinly disguised excuse for running around five sandbox locations – Los Paradiso, Sunnywood, Shen Long, Belleville and the fourth Ring of Furon- blowing things up with an array of tried and tested extra-terrestrial weapons.
Yes, the plot is weak enough to qualify for a bed on life support. Now he is the owner of a family friendly casino, in Los Paridiso, and has his tiny green heart set on kicking back and raking in the cash when a family of mafia hoodlums decide to muscle in on his action. Our once beloved Furon, Cryptosporidium, or Crypto to his mates, is back centre stage and picks up his adventures from Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed. The game appears to have aimed at being a half-hearted re-hash of previous installments – and fallen woefully short of that mediocre goal. After a few weeks playing Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, we were left wondering why it was not cancelled outright in Europe as well. THQ’s replacement studio, Sandblast Games – formerly Cranky Pants Studios who brought us such gems as Red Faction II and Evil Dead: Regeneration – were unceremoniously closed down a month before the game was released and the title was cancelled for the PS3 in North America. Destroy All Humans! creators, Pandemic, were no longer involved in the game. And, if there is an ounce of mercy in the world, this will probably be the last outing for the franchise.īefore Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon was released, the omens were portentous. At the time of writing it is 2009 and we now have the fourth incarnation of the series: Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon. What was there not to like?īut the years have been less than kind. For once you got to play the bad guy and blow up tones of stuff while revisiting the age of the Beatles, B-movies and bee-hive hairdo’s. An iconoclastic, low budget, tongue in cheek romp, the game was both innovative and fun. Originally released in 2005, Pandemic Studio’s irrelevant homage to the bygone era’s of the sixties and seventies was hailed as something of a breath of fresh air.
Destroy All Humans! has had something of a checkered past.
