Destroy All Humans!/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Breather Level
  • Cargo Ship: One of the "Ruin Lives" missions in the second game involving a Takoshima businessman's beloved "New Car-san".
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: If I were an alien, I'd want this music in the background.
  • Ear Worm
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: It's arguable that Pox is more popular than Crypto, especially after Crypto goes native. Though considering who voices him, it's not hard to believe. Silhouette also counts.
  • Evil Is Sexy: Silhouette, the main antagonist of the first game. DAMN that suit was tight!
  • Fan Dumb
  • Goddamned Bats: Missile launchers in the first and second game. In the first game, they launch a single missile that is near impossible to dodge and does a crap ton of damage to your saucer. The damage is toned down in the second game, and the tracking less potent, but now they launch THREE missiles at once. Add to the fact that on high alert levels, they show up everywhere and can now move, and you will be swooping, ducking, weaving and dodging to avoid the buggers, as they will fill the sky VERY Quickly. And to top it all off, there is a graphical bug on the PlayStation 2 version of the second game, which removes the exhaust contrail on occasion, meaning you won't see the rockets until it's too late.
  • It's Easy, So It Sucks: Destroy All Humans! 2 and 3 are on the easy side. Critics didn't enjoy it.
  • It's Short, So It Sucks: All of the games are relatively short. The first two would have been even better if they were longer.
  • It's the Same, Now It Sucks: All the games have the same feel and structure.
  • It's Popular, Now It Sucks: The series has gained a cult following, as well as fan haters, trolls, and the like.
  • Once-Acceptable Targets
  • Porting Disaster: The reason the PlayStation 2 and PSP versions of BWU, and the Play Station 3 version of DAH!3, were cancelled.
  • Ruined FOREVER: The fans opinion of Big Willy Unleashed.
  • Sequelitis: Big Willie Unleashed and Path of the Furon were held in ill-regard by many critics.
  • The Scrappy: Natalya and Crypto. Natalya gets most of the ire though, despite the fact that Crypto is the one hitting on her. As mentioned above under Pretend Prejudice, by the time DAH!2 rolls around, Crypto's only concern is having sex with anything female. This is worsed by Natalya, as Crypto falls madly in love with her. And so, as a result, Crypto spends the entirety of DAH!2 trying to have sex with Natalya, not even caring about what his enemies are up to.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Many people claim that the changes in Big Willy Unleashed and Path of the Furon made them suck, and that they weren't neary as good as the first two. This is also mostly blamed on the two developers who picked up the series after Pandemic was bought out by EA.
