I got my copy for free, though I can’t remember if it was from a store or from the publisher. It’s a single, standalone file, so it definitely wasn’t Steam.
Man, I loved the hell out of the first one and payed so much attention to the development of the second but I ended up not buying it for some reason. Maybe 17 year old me just didn't have the money. What happened to Pandemic game (among other developers) was a crime.
This opened an old wound that I thought had healed.......my hatred for EA has resurfaced . They bought Pandemic and then closed them. The same thing happened to westwood
Honestly this makes me really want to see a remake of War of the Monsters, that same Era of 50s movies and American cities being destroyed but with giant monster fights
Or a sequel... There's so much a new version of that game could have. I wanna customize my monsters with mutations (perks) and have open world destruction modes too for the missions.
It's super bizarre to watch the review because of this, yeah. Not saying the game's "pro-communism" either or anything, but it's clear that at least this first one isn't mocking communism at all, it's mocking American culture of the time that thought there was a red spy under every couch- the ones being sniped at here aren't the Russians
@@marsf6080 Yeah I mean, while I am left-wing I am open to all things being mocked, including communism. It's clear that isn't the intended target. As you say it's mocking that American paranoia.
@@capitanoinsano I dont think its stupidity, just that people tend to place their own views onto jokes, see steven colbert being popular with the Republicans he was making fun of back in the early 2000's
Same here. I would have enjoyed the third one Path of the Furon if it hadn't been so damn buggy and unfinished in parts. Game froze a lot too from what I remember. It's sad because the flying saucer stuff was great.
@@alucard624 Destroy All Humans 2 remake would be great and yeah I think Path of the Furon game would have so much potential if it gets a remake too another remake i want to see from THQNORDIC its an underrated game but I think it'll be so awesome for a remake it is Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick
@@MostDopeLarry same here its such an underrated game a modern remake of Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick would be so awesome add more to the gameplay and the combat to make it much more modern and maybe add more weapons to the game and also bigger exploration to find collectables and such to unlock stuff like costumes etc and add more different types of Deadites in the game too i even also want a modern remake of Evil Dead: Hail to the King the game was bad but i think if you give it a full on remake it'll be much more better than it ever will be before
3:48 His full name is Cryptosporidium. That's also the name of the bacteria that causes a diarrheal disease, it's also commonly just called 'Crypto'. The devs were having fun beyond fun making this game back in the day haha
Just a bit depressing that these are the most exciting games. Imagine, the gaming industry can't come up with games that are more interesting than the games they used to make 1-2 decades ago. As someone who only plays single player, story oriented PC titles, I feel like an entire industry died out around me in the last few years. There are maybe one or two games a year that can truly scratch my itch. Imagine trying to justify the purchase of a $1000 dollar PC just for Metro Exodus... ...still the best game I ever played.
Evan Harrison it’s the same with films. Total recall, Creed (essentially rocky reboot), X-men the list goes on. It’s like the creativity has gone. Saying that, some of the best games I’ve ever played are older ie UT99, Warcraft 3, Doom, Halo 2, DAH, RE3
@@Jcw4849 Well, we do live in a sort of ideological climate where you basically have to scrutinize your work of art down to the molecules if you want to avoid getting torn to shreds by accidentaly displaying some "-ism" that is not accepted by the mainstream. That alone stifles innovation and creativity almost utterly. Games were better than movies for a long time, because games were a fringe entertainment and there was no media outlet to constantly manipulate the field by promoting the same crap and ignoring everything else into oblivion. If idSoftware had to come to life in today's environment, it'd be torn apart and its creators' careers would be utterly destroyed. Heck, even Max Payne III was "too outdated by modern standards", and thus the series was basically shuffled out of existence. Even Wolfenstein, the game that literally was a "nazi killing power fantasy" had to be retconned totally by demonizing the Polish people.
Evan Harrison Agree. Politics has too much an influence on gaming. No one plays with dangerous ideas as they are scared of the backlash. Surprised it’s okay to slaughter demons in Doom Eternal without backlash on it not being inclusive to devil worshippers.
@@Enclavefakesoldier usually when they say they are upside down it means because of the globe. What you said doesn't make sense. He's down under so he's upside down? Wtf? I've never heard anybody else in my life say it and mean it that way. So maybe I'm not the one who's been whooshed maybe your joke just didn't stick.
I kinda miss the attempt at making the human characters look realistic from the first game, but terrorizing a bunch of cartoon caricatures is equally hilarious.
Yeah that’s my only issue with it rn. Like I used to love looking at the concept art and extra movies from the first game and I wished that the game was actually like that. Like the laser cutting buildings and then sliding
I remember when me and my friend were kids, I would go to his house, he would boot up the ps2 and we would play either this or power rangers, good times
Fun fact: you remember "Where the Hell is Matt?", the videos by Matt Harding of him dancing all over the world, that went super viral? He used to work at Pandemic Studios, the original devs, and _he pitched this game, as a joke._ Apparently it all went down after Microsoft shot down a more family-friendly pitch he'd worked really hard on, and he sarcastically suggested they should make a game where you play as an alien invader who wants to kill humanity, joking that they could call it "Destroy All Humans!" His co-workers thought it sounded hilarious, and eventually they began _actually planning it._ And no, despite common rumors, he _did not_ leave the company in disgust due to this, he just didn't feel like working on it and wanted to pursue an independent career; though the devs do credit him as the one who suggested the game should take a comedic, satirical tone parodying schlocky sci-fi horror.
As nicely as GmanLives is going to explain the difference between a remake and a remaster. There will be always that one journalist who doesn't get it. Like Dan Roemer who embarrassed himself and his parents during the Battle for Bikini Bottom review.
The original was casual fun. The fighting mechanics were not deep or complex as every character played the same but the characters were great & fun factor was excellent with siblings or friends. I hope though that if we get a full remake they actually make unique movelist for every character. Thus staying true to the original while improving upon it with a strong new fighting system.
One of the issues (probably the main) with that game is the licensed music. It's a core part of the experience. It will be very costly to get it again for what it's essentially not very well known game. Also, some levels need reworking balancing.
ive been waiting years man since my moms friends bf let me play it on his original Xbox when i was like 8. i would jump at that for current or next gen. you old heads had some gems.
@@patrickrobinsob1464 I didn't know the Disney part. That's sad. I've played it last year. Bought it from Ebay for £20. Mostly worth spending the money.
I remember playing this back on the PS2 when I was super young and I never even got past the first couple missions cause I was to young to figure out what the game would want me to do (even with the tutorials on lol) and at that time the only video games I wanted to play were FPS's so I'm almost positive I just went in there trying to shoot anyone and everyone so that's probably a big reason why I never beat the first couple levels lol
Shit, I felt old when "Medieval" got an HD remake!!!! In '05 I was graduating High School, listening to Cradle of Filth While Saw II played in the background.
Rebel Without a Cause. The Room's line in that film paid homage to it. Though it seems a lot of people are more affiliated with The Room then Rebel Without a Cause.
As the commenter above said, it is a reference to Rebel, which The Room tried to pay homage too. Tommy Wiseau was a huge fan of classic cinema and tried to emulate what he saw in the films that he loved. Unlike Tarantino however, his efforts are... questionable. All that said, 'The Room' is much more of a widely known and celebrated modern cultural phenomenon than 'Rebel', so I feel that it was a missed opportunity to reference 'The Room' rather than 'Rebel' (again) in the remake. But maybe that is just me.
If someone in the studio actually watched the room before 2006 And referenced it they would have ultimate memer credit, but as the other fellas said is probably rebel
If I can recommend a game to be remaked it be PS2's War of the Monsters! An awesome love letter to Kaiju/giant robot movies that had combat and destructible maps. Hell one of the features it sorely lacked was 4 player split screen that a remake could surely fix.
The love & respect for the original comes thorough . Folks can learn a lot from this … I’m looking at you Final Fantasy 7 Remake…. Take note phantom legend of dragoon .
I'd kill for a sandbox version of this game. No crappy stealth sections and reloading at the last checkpoint, just a large world to destroy and screw around in. Perhaps if the remake does well enough they'll make a proper sequel.
I hate commenting in the public sphere to largely say the same thing, but the anti communist humor in DAH 1 was absolutely based on the red scare and perceived domino effect rather than actual communism, which was more a running joke in the sequel.
As a random note, can we appreciate the historical accuracy in the US military equipment in game? We see M24 Chaffees, we see those old GMC cargo trucks, and the uniforms are mostly historically accurate (although they’re late WW2 European theater uniforms and not Korean era uniforms)
Thanks once again for this review and your effort put into all your videos. Really appreciate it! I am enjoying your channel so much. Best regards from Germany 😁✌️
Yeah that and the 3rd game Path of the Furon which I think would have so much potential for a remake another game i want to see THQNORDIC to bring back as a modern remake it is Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick
@@meatpie7166 hopefully if they do remake the 2nd and 3rd game for destroy all humans which will lead to a brand new Destroy all humans game from the ground up with way more weapons new and old from all games for the saucer and guns . I feel the making of the remakes will distract us while they go behind the scenes with another dev team (maybe the ones that made this remake ) to make the new game so when these beautiful remakes come out, then the new one comes out with a trailer so it would feel like it's only been a year since the first game came out . Since I'm guessing it doesn't take as long to do remakes then new games . So I think this plan could work .
@@thehunter7422 yeah just like how Activision brought back the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and now there is a brand new Crash Bandicoot game coming and there's actually a new Evil Dead game coming out too but all we just know for now is just that there is a new game we don't know who the developers are and the publisher but im hoping its THQNORDIC remaking one of there 3 Evil Dead games that they published back in the day im hoping it is a remake of A Fistful of Boomstick and maybe if that remake becomes successful than we will probably get a sequel or just a brand new Evil Dead game
@@thehunter7422 and to me this is also what remakes should be like remake games that were not so popular and even games that were so bad but make them so much better than they ever were before like for an example Evil Dead: Hail to the King that game was terrible i liked it but I do understand peoples criticism with the game but i personally liked it but for a modern remake it can be really awesome just make the overall gameplay and combat 10x better
@@meatpie7166 remakes will make games better . I've been hoping for a crash bash remake for a long time especially when Beenox made Crash team racing remake . That was amazing . That remake is like 10 times bigger than the original game. They added new and old maps and racers and the story looked bigger with the extra animations and with huge kart and skin customization options . I'm hoping they give crash bash the same treatment too. People are saying that game didn't receive well ( it is true ) but people don't understand the biggest thing right now is the multiplayer market . Which they could give crash bash online multiplayer and other unlockables like more charecters and new minigame designs . Online multiplayer would be so fun for that remake I would be playing space bash all day lol.
Second time 3 minutes reviews and Gman line up with the exact same title at the same time to give either a short look into it or a full fledged review and I don't know if this is coincidence or not, but I love it. (Possibly just the embargo but love the title selection of both channels)
THICC woman got me interested. I played DAH2 so I hope they remake that soon because I dont like the 1950s setting in DAH1 but love the 1970s settings in DAH2 where I would spend time as a Japanese school girl playing out the ending of Akira before the giant baby part
2005 was amazing! The Xbox 360 launch, the swarm of Half-Life 2 mods, Counter-Strike: Source at its peak, many amazing games on the Xbox/Gamecube/PS2 & PC...
At 9:17 a soldier mentions a man named Audie Murphy. He was the most decorated American Soldier during WW2 and went on to become a very successful actor staring in a movie about himself called To Hell And Back. Also Sabaton has a song about him so that tells you everything you already need to know.
Now if only someone would combine it with Bureau take on X-Com and somehow make such a hybrid a good game despite inclusion of the latter... Would be fun to be able to play both sides versus.
Loved the shit out of this game back in the day, on Xbox. The team who remade this did an amazing job. 6th generation was an awesome time to be a gamer. It was back when developers took wild or silly ideas and ran with it. There were so many gems like this game. Nowadays, everything has to be a triple-A, $200m game, or your typical 8-bit-looking indie title that looks like the last 70 indie games that came out in the last month.
while planning on reviewing this game on youtube, i've just realised why certain critics get an early copy. it's the critics that will give it a good review, so the first reviews anybody sees are positive.
I hope they remake the second one. I love these games. Big nostalgia vibes everytime I play them! I really enjoyed this remake, so I think they could do the sequel just as well as they did this remake!
Really happy to hear that the devs were able to put their foot down with this one. Black Forest Games is just a small German studio, which has a lot of rough years behind them. (...They made the recent Bubsy game.) I hope DAH does well and they get a good financial boost.
This game and stubbs the zombie pretty much made the original xbox a must have for me, I hope one day we can see a remake of that glorious game as well.
i’m glad it’s a remake and not a remaster as it does add more quality such as graphic and audio since it’s easier to work with it if you remake it instead of updating the graphics. Alot of the gameplay changes are widely acceptable in their form. Weapons usage variety is forced in this which is fine since it’s done pretty naturally i.e. your alien weapons don’t get ammo from human weapons like most modern shooters forcing you to swap to other weapons until you can transmogrify something into ammo for you. The ship was also improved since in the original game the angle the death ray would work at was a bitch to get right since hit boxes were smaller in 05. improvements to audio quality is just so we can hear Zim i mean Pox better seeing as he was hard to hear at times in the original.
I love Gman's reviews but I think it's pretty hilarious that he believes the game is making fun of commies instead of satirizing the anti-commie fearmongering of the McCarthy era and onwards
Back in 2016 the two games I played on my ps3 was a copy of the ps2 version of destroy all humans and Minecraft that was it and it coming back just gives me so much Nostalgia.
DAH! was my first pre-order at gamestop. For my pre-order bonus on waiting for the game to come out was a infamous movie from 1959.. "Plan 9 From Outer Space." My god it was laughable but it was so good lol
Hopefully this sells well and we can get a remake of the second one. I want to fight godzilla with a flying saucer again on Ureal 5 with caos physics on PS5.
Man, I loved those games back in the day. I think I own PSN copies as well. They were great for just chilling out and playing for like a half-hour before bed or after getting home to unwind. I’d love to get it for Switch, but it doesn’t look like that is planned for now.
The second one was more fun in my opinion the weapons and the more sort of “open world” part of it along with the 2 player mode made it a blast to play with my friend when we were kids, we spent hours playing it and I’m still hoping they do the same thing to the seconds one
I remember playing this back on the PS2 and it was fun to go back to it in the remake, in my opinion it's rather faithful with some needed improvements that was seen in later DOH games such as being able to use PK with the jetpack something I strongly remembering not being possible till Path of the Furon came out. currently downloading the sequel and hoping it's just as good as the first
i really like how everyone looks much more cartoonish. it really suits the game! I remember spending hours completely leveling cities and just wrecking havoc. such good memories.
