The game

In Destroy All Humans!, players assume the role of Cryptosporidium 137 (Crypto for short), a warrior and member of the Furon alien race. After centuries of warfare against inferior species using unchecked nuclear weaponry left their species impotent and without genitalia, the Furons were unable to reproduce sexually and became forced to turn to cloning as means of reproduction, as well as a process by which to achieve immortality. However, after generations of clones, the Furon DNA is degrading, and each clone is becoming less and less stable.

Fortunately for the Furons, a Furon scout ship came across Earth many millennia ago while returning from destroying the Martians. The Furon spacefarers eventually bred with the ancestors of the human race for an unknown reason at some point in time, inserting a strand of Furon DNA into the human gene pool. These pages contain the trends of millennia and centuries. ...


Because of this, it is revealed, each human contains a small amount of Furon DNA in their genetic code. Crypto is sent to Earth to harvest this DNA from human brain stems, locate and rescue his previous clone, Cryptosporidium-136 (referred to as his brother in the instruction manual), and spearhead a Furon invasion of Earth. The game is set up in a "sandbox" fashion, much like Pandemic's January 2005 game, Mercenaries.

Story

The game starts with Crypto 136 being captured by the US army in the desert after attempting to land on top of a missile. Some time later, Orthopox 13 and Crypto 137 head to Earth, seemingly at first to rescue 136. Crypto arrives at Turnipseed Farm in the Midwest, where he at first mistakes cows for being Earth's dominant life-form. The Majestic are alerted to the Furon presence after Crypto decimates an army taskforce. Orthopox then reveals to Crypto that their mission on Earth is to extract human brain stems, which contain Furon DNA given to them by Furon scouts eons ago, in order to save the genetically dwindling Furon race.

After several missions in the Midwestern town of Rockwell and the California suburb of Santa Modesta, Crypto and Orthopox become aware of Majestic, and then begin crippling government attempts to stop them by performing acts such as destroying Area 42 with an atomic bomb and killing General Armquist. Throughout the game, Crypto's various acts are covered up by the government and media, which attribute them either to freak accidents or communism.

Look up Cover-up in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... This article is about the form of society and political movement. ...


The game climaxes in Capitol City (essentially Washington DC), where Crypto assassinates President Huffman, and then massacres most of the US Congress in a scene similar to Mars Attacks!. Soon, the US government seemingly surrenders to the Furons, and then Crypto meets Silhouette, leader of Majestic, in front of the Capitol. After a brief scuffle with Silhouette, Crypto discovers that 'he' is a woman. Silhouette unveils the Roboprez, which is a towering mech controlled by President Huffman's brain. Crypto defeats Roboprez in his saucer, and then defeats Silhouette in a firefight at the The Octogon. As Silhouette dies, she reveals that there are other Majestic divisions all over the world. Crypto, however, is confident that without Silhouette's leadership, Majestic will be totally useless in resisting the Furon takeover.

The game ends with Huffman making a televised speech, assuring America that the recent events were the work of Communists, who have poisoned the US water supply, and as a result testing centers have been set up all across the country to scan people for harmful toxins. People are then shown being herded by Army soldiers into strange machines, apparently for brain stem extraction. Huffman is then revealed to be Crypto in disguise, who voices his pleasure at his success.

Setting

Destroy All Humans! is set in the 1950s United States (the exact year is not specified throughout the game, with 1954 and 1957 being implied to be the year, and the second game suggesting 1958 or 1959) and consists of six settings. These include:

  • Turnipseed Farm, a Midwestern farm community. A two-lane highway runs through the area. Possibly based on Cape Girardeau, Missouri where a 1941 UFO crash supposedly took place.
  • Rockwell, a small, rural town, also located in the Midwest. The town is home to a drive-in theater and a military base. The name is a pun on both sentimental artist Norman Rockwell and the Roswell UFO incident, as indicated by Orthopox when you return to the mother ship for your second mission ("Roswell, Rockwell. That's the last time I take directions from a Cryptosporidium!")
  • Santa Modesta, a happy, idyllic Southern California suburb.
  • Area 42, an Area 51-style military base in the desert. A Majestic laboratory is also located there.
  • Union Town, an Eastern seaboard industrial city. The city is probably a representation of Norfolk, Virginia, judging by the city's location on the map (south of Capitol City) and its industrial atmosphere.
  • Capital City, the game's version of Washington, D.C.

Nearly all buildings and structures in these environments can be destroyed, although humans can become alarmed by Crypto's presence at these locations, and while some run or hide, others are armed and will fight back. An alert system, much like Grand Theft Auto's "wanted level," denotes how much attention Crypto has attracted, which can lead to police, military, and eventually a shadowy group called the Majestic joining the chase.

Military technology in the game is depicted as being far more advanced than it was in the real 1950s, with the US Army having possession of robots, sentry guns, automated anti-air batteries, Tesla coils, and mechs. The Majestic group also seems to be equipped with energy weapons, although it could be assumed that they are reverse-engineered Furon technology (they are also similar to the weaponry in Men In Black II, a video game based on the movie series of the same name). The Army is the branch of the United States armed forces which has primary responsibility for land-based military operations. ... For other uses, see robot (disambiguation). ... The sentry gun has historically been imagined as a gun and a detector working together such that the sentry gun can detect and eliminate adversaries. ...

The hub of the game is the Furon mothership, in orbit around Earth, which greatly resembles the alien mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. From there you can receive missions, upgrade weapons, and view unlocked content. This is also the portal to each of the game's Earth settings. A mothership is a vessel or aircraft that carries a smaller vessel or aircraft that operates independently from it. ...

Furons

Coming from the planet Gorta in the Proxima Centauri system, the Furons are aliens that have a similar appearance to Greys (aside from their mouth of sharp teeth), are named after diseases, and are a highly advanced race, who use their technology not only for science, but also for war. And since they are a warlike race, their weaponry is extremely deadly. It is revealed that use of unregulated atomic weaponry caused a fatal mutation in the Furon race. They could no longer procreate, due to their complete and utter lack of genitalia. Using their advanced biotechnology, they began cloning themselves rendering each Furon basically immortal, with memories and personality somehow being transferred to each new clone. However, with each new clone the errors start to appear in the genetic material leading to unpredictable results. Without an infusion of uncorrupted Furon DNA they will clone themselves into extinction. Proxima Centauri (Latin proximus, -a, -um: meaning next to or nearest to)[4] is a red dwarf star that is likely a part of the Alpha Centauri star system and is the nearest star to the Sun at a distance of 4. ... For other uses, see grays (disambiguation). ...


HoloBob

The Furons can imitate the appearance of any nearby human. This allows a Furon to travel amongst humans unnoticed, or in two cases, take the appearance of a public figure to send out a message to humans. The HoloBob requires psy energy, or Concentration in the game, which can be continually replenished by reading the thoughts of unknowing humans nearby (or 'scanning' the humans, or animals (cows, chickens etc.)). This disguise is not without flaw, as the Majestic have the uncanny ability to see through and destroy the disguise. Crypto will flash red when nearing a Majestic and if he gets too close it will vanish. Variation in the physical appearance of humans is believed by anthropologists to be an important factor in the development of personality and social relations in particular physical attractiveness. ... Edgar Cayce (1877 – 1945) was one of the best-known American psychics of the 20th century and made many highly publicized predictions. ...

Reception

Upon release, Destroy All Humans! received mostly positive reviews,[1] although some reviewers complained of repetitiveness in mission design and gameplay. Graphics were described in a generally good light, except for the large amount of pop-up in the game. Most praised was the game's satirical tone and comedic gameplay, highly derived from 1950s era science fiction movies. With Crypto's mind-reading abilities an important feature of gameplay, much humor comes from the repressed thoughts these inhabitants of this supposedly-innocent period of American history hold— including their fantasies about taking Bettie Page and Rock Hudson over Doris Day, reactions to the findings of one "Dr. Kinsey", current and possible-future presidents, and of course, the Red Menace. Bettie Mae Page (though listed Betty on her birth certificate) born April 22, 1923 in Nashville, Tennessee, is a former American model who became famous in the 1950s for her fetish modeling and pin-up photos. ...

Trivia

  • At the title credits, when the game is started up, the music in the background during the "Filmed in Pandemicolor" title (For Pandemic Studios) are the last lyrics of the Australian national anthem, Advance Australia Fair.
  • In the last newspaper clipping where it says "President Found Alive" in the bottom corner it says "Giant Lizard Sighted off Coast of Japan" this is a reference to Godzilla.
  • When scanning a soldier's thoughts, he may say he's like Gomer Pyle, although Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. did not air until 1964.
  • When scanning a pedestrian in Santa Modesta, they say there is a future of color TV and a show about their "Happy Days" an obvious reference to Happy Days.
  • "Area 42" is a spoof of Area 51, and also most likely a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
  • "The Octagon," where Crypto fights Silhouette, is a spoof of The Pentagon.
  • When scanning humans in Rockwell, Santa Modesta, or Capitol city, they may often think of the presidential candidate known as "Ike", this was President Eisenhower's nickname, his slogan was "I like Ike."
  • The mission Mr. Crypto Goes to Capitol City is an obvious spoof of the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
  • "Majestic" is a spoof of the Men in Black, made obvious when Orthopox refers to them as the "Dudes in Dark" and "Men in... really, really dark brown." It is also a reference to an urban legend that there is a secret government agency that hunts aliens, called either Magic or the Majestic 12.
  • There are several subtle references throughout the game to the Church of the SubGenius, including repeated instances of the name "Bob" (the name even being applied to a major alien power in the game, "holobobbing") and the "J.R. Dobbs Building" and (referred to as) "the other J.R. dobbs building" in Rockwell.
  • Leaving the game sit inactive in the mothership for extended periods of time will cause Orthopox to say various things, often meta-references. For example, "Didn't anyone tell you? The game is called "Destroy All Humans!", not "Screw Around on the Mothership!"" or "I do not care, it is your electric bill!"
  • In reference to Flowers for Algernon, if the player scans a Majestic Psi-Mutant, a possible thought is "Good Mouse Algernon... much... smarter... than.. Charlie..."
  • General Armquist bears more than a passing resemblance to General Douglas MacArthur, down to his trademark aviators and pipe.
  • When scanning a human scientist, you may receive the thought "I must not be late, they are waiting for me in the test chamber...Oh wait, wrong game," a reference to the video game Half-Life.
  • On one instance of scanning General Armquist's mind, he will remark about protecting his bodily fluids, and then repeat "Purity of Essence", which is a reference to the movie Dr. Strangelove.
  • When scanning a human scientist, he may refer to his "brain the size of a planet," a possible reference to the robot Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
  • Matt Harding thought up the name and concept but quit soon after due to the idea of creating a game when the point was to kill all humans. He then made Where the Hell is Matt for the internet. One of the places he went was Area 51.
  • If the player scans a human wearing an orange suit in Area 42, a possible thought is, "I should go up to Jersey to see my Uncle Tony." An obvious reference to "The Sopranos."
  • The only agent of Majestic whose name is revealed, with the exception of Silhouette, is possible to be shown when scanning random agents: "Agent Arbogast of Majestic is my name, and hunting Furons is my game. And the odd political assassination, but I don't like to talk about that." The name is a reference to Detective Arbogast from Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho.
  • On the mission Aliens stole my brain stem you have to collect 12 overloaded brains stems when in the last mission only 10 people die. The mission itself is reference to the Thomas Dolby album Aliens Ate My Buickor the R.L. Stine book "Aliens Stole my Homework".
  • After you beat the mission "Aliens Stole My Brain Stem", the newspaper reads something like,"Sixteen Die as Stunted Sniper Stalks Clancey Street Estate". Possibly a reference to Tom Clancy.
  • The mission Earth Women are Delicious is a reference to the movie "Earth Girls are Easy"
  • A commercial for Destroy All Humans was made, which was shown in movie theaters and on certain Television Stations like G4TECH TV. It shows a family dressed in 1950s attire who hear on the radio that the Furons are coming and all humanity is doomed, and the wife confesses to her husband that their black son came from a father outside their family. There is also one where the wife confesses that she is having an affair with the neighbor.
  • When scanning a cop, a possible thought references the movie Serpico.
  • The fact that the Furons are not able to reproduce may be a reference to the 1957 Toho film The Mysterians, in which the titular aliens are unable to reproduce also from nuclear war effects.
  • The mission "Attack of the 50 foot President" is a reference to the movie "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman".
  • During the boss battle "Attack of the 50 foot President," when the robot runs around the city, Pox says "He's running to that building...you know, the one with the statue of the guy, he's like Amish or something." is an obvious reference to the statue of Abraham Lincoln.
  • During the boss battle against Silhouette, if her mind is scanned, her extreme sexist thoughts, plans to take over the world, and dislike of the Furons are revealed.
  • If you scan the mind of a "Town Crazy" in Santa Modesta a possible thought is something about speaking dolphins and mice, a possible reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
  • They also made a MTV2 music video of Destroy All Humans modded to the song Sum 41 - Pieces
