Product Description

In Path of the Furon, the destructive alien Crypto is taking on the funkdafied times of the 1970s, adding a bit of disco destruction to the people of earth. Picking up where Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed leaves off, Crypto finds himself attacked by a mysterious new enemy that threatens the entire Furon race. With a conspiracy quickly formed that threatens his way of life, Crypto embarks on a journey to gain enlightenment from an alien Kung Fu master, unlocking new powers that will let him save the Furons once again. Path of the Furon expands on the open world format of the previous Destroy All Humans! titles -- you will be able to decide what you want to obliterate and what you will spare, with five large open worlds on the ground and in the air (thanks to new augmentations to Crypto's UFO) to obliterate with new weapons and new alien powers.

Funky, Destructo Story
After facing down nuclear Armageddon, Crypto finds himself semi-retired and sinning it up in Las Paradiso in the funked-out seventies. But when Nexo Cyborg Clones from his home planet attack, Crypto is swept up in a conspiracy that unravels his groovy new way of life on Earth and threatens the very survival of his entire race. To stop the Nexo onslaught before it's too late, Crypto must embark on a challenging journey, and with the help of an ancient alien Kung Fu master he must learn new powers in order to defeat his most difficult enemy yet -- his own kind.

Clobber 'Em With Your Mind...and Guns
Embark on the Path of Enlightenment to learn devastating new mental powers from an ancient alien Kung-Fu master. You'll be able to freeze time and manipulate the world around you with your psychokinetic abilities, hypnotize humans to do your bidding, or snatch their bodies to mingle with the locals.

But your mind isn't your only weapon in Path of the Furon; you'll be battling enemies with a devastating arsenal of alien weaponry. Old favorites are back, such as the Zap-O-Matic and Anal Probe, but with next-gen upgrades. And if you're looking for new weapons for the arsenal, this game delivers with the Black Hole Gun and the Venus Human Trap -- exciting additions that will help you wreak havoc in new and devastating ways.

Crypto's ride just got pimped. With tight handling, remarkable control, fine Corinthian leather, and lots and lots of guns, you'll take to the skies to reign down terror from above. The new UFO is loaded with the Plasma Cannon and the Tornadotron for massive destruction, or engage in air-to-air combat with the new "fire-and-fugetaboutit" Seeker Drones.

In Path of the Furon you're powerful enough to manipulate or destroy anything in the world. Create disaster movie-level destruction with advanced multi-stage destruction capabilities, collateral damage, chain reactions and advanced physics. Now players can lay waste to entire cities, creating panic in the streets -- destruction, destruction, destruction, is the name of this game.

Customer Reviews

Crypto is back!
The good: I recently downloaded the original Destroy all Humans (DAH) on XBox Live and really enjoyed it. Hoping for more of Crypto's antics, I got DAH Path of the Furon. I am currently in the last world and have really enjoyed the game. Path of the Furon is a quantum leap in improvement from the original one. The scope of the game is quite ambitious in terms of scale, detail, and weapons.

This is one of the least frustrating games I have played in a long time. Unlike the original, a failed mission does not start from the beginning; it starts from the last successful mission step you completed. The missions are quite varied compared to the original and are very entertaining. The dialogue and voice acting is superb which must total more than an hour. Reading people's minds yields a much larger variety of comments than its predecessor.

The game shines with its innovative variety of weapons including the Tornadotron, the Black Hole Gun, Venus Human Trap, and Superballer. You eventually learn to manipulate time and do the temporal Fist. I like the fact that there is a large combination of ways to tackle an enemy which are quite different (unlike other games where the weapons just shoot projectiles with different damage and rate properties). If you want to stop time, use Psychokinesis on a tank's bullet flying towards you, and hurl it back to the enemy with the Temporal fist, you can!

The cities are very detailed, and there is plenty of eye candy. The "realism" of destruction of buildings is the best you will see in a game at present.

The bad: Given the complexity and scale of the game, you will notice bugs. I've noticed a few times that after reading someone's mind the person's speech was not audible. The game has crashed 2 times so far, but due to the game's auto save feature I was able to resume the game where I was.

Overall: An great game starring Crypto with a low frustration factor and entertaining comedy. Massive and innovative destruction and weapons. Has some bugs that rarely get in the way of gameplay.

Buggy & Not Fun
The game is not as funny nor as fun as the first installment in the franchise.

The graphics have jaggies, and the scenery is rather dull. The cities look plain, in plain colors, with plain architecture. The illusion that the little alien is blasting away in Las Vegas does NOT hold up.

The game froze twice in my first 2 hours of play. I did not play far into a third hour. A game freezing on Xbox is rare, and I do not know how this game got out of testing, or past the Xbox certification process.

The simulation for the authorities (cops, national guard, etc) is pretty poor. Cops appear out of nowhere, and they always know exactly where you are so they can make a beeline for you. Getting out of line of sight, and changing form is pretty hard to do in a fun way. When flying around in space ship, tanks appear out of no where and there is no limit to how many the army can produce. Mildly challenging; mostly dull and not so fun. I can handle the non-reality of flying around in a spaceship, but people and vehicles appearing out of nowhere messes up the experience.

There are bugs in the sound. Once the shooting starts the crowds of people go running around like crazy. Good. After the shooting stops, and even when I have completely lost the attention of the authorities, the crowds can still be heard screaming. The game repeats the same repetitive screaming sound clip repeatedly. Not good. Very annoying. The only way to get the crowds to shut up is to have a major cut scene, or to turn off the game. I did the later after the bug came up the third time.

Do not buy this game. Rent it. That will be plenty.

Bend over Monkeys!
I've been a die-hard fan of Crypto since the first 2 games in this series, and while this game took a alternate path ("Temporal FIST!") I still enjoyed it and had about as much fun as I did with the first two.
There are a few glitches that I had to re-start the game from the last save, but figured out that if you head in another direction when you re-start, it avoids the glitch. A lot of the play style you've been used to is a little changed, but as with anything---take it on it's own, and on it's own you'll enjoy it. They first did a 50's motiff, then a 60's motiff -- and this took a whack at the Disco era. I'd love to see the series continue........but where do we go from here? I KNOW...Crypto can blow up Paris Hilton? (admit it, you'd like that, right?)
