Trivia:

The quote "I heard that the dolphins are doing a good job contacting the extraterrestrials. I heard that from the mice!" from Orthopox is a reference to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (radio series, books, TV series, album, movie, towel, etc).

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Crypto morphs into the Navy officer, the instructions on the screen clearly say, "Morph Into the Navy Warlord." However, when Crypto shows up at the meeting with the other officers, they address him as General. The Navy does not have Generals. Only Admirals. The correct way to address him would be Admiral.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: Hello friends. Have you ever gazed into the night sky and wondered at the possibility of life on other planets? What marvelous beings might exist out there, hands extended in friendship, awaiting the moment when we, humans take our first tentative steps into space. What tales will be told of that glorious day when we are first contacted by our brothers from beyond the stars!

Best alien game ever made!!!

For years I haven't played a game this good! "Destroy All Humans" is an explosively awesome, alien game with good graphics, hilarious voice overs, cool sound effects and fantastic game play! You will play as Cryptosporidium(Or Crypto for short), an alien clone sent to earth to collect DNA from human brain stems to save his kind. Throughout the game you will travel from the fields of Turnipseed Farm, to the busy streets of Capitol City to the scorching deserts of Area 42.

You will fight against different humans, ranging from dim-witted farmers to cocky secret agents. You'll also confront vehicles and artillery such as tanks, AA cannons, robots and Tesla coils.

You can fight with an armament of lethal, futuristic weapons including the zap-o matic, disintigrator gun and ion detonator.

You also have access to a flying saucer armed with more powerful weapons, such as the death ray, abducto beam and sonic boom.

If your weapons don't satisfy, then your telekinesis powers will! Crypto can levitate humans and smash them into the ground or send them flying through the air. As you progress you can purchase upgrades that allow you to throw cars and heavier objects, causing all kinds of mayhem! Overall, Destroy All Humans is a masterpiece and is worth trying for just about anyone.
