Gameplay

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is played from a third-person perspective. It is an action-adventure game that involves both shooting and stealth elements. As players progress throughout the game, new weapons, new abilities, better stats, and access to new vehicles are unlocked.[2] The game is set across five locations: Bay City, Albion, Takoshima, Tunguska, and the Solaris moon base (some of which are parodies of real-life locations such as San Francisco, London, and Tokyo). Several of these locations have been expanded in size from the original game, adding new areas to explore.[3]

The game's campaign is fully playable in both single-player and two-player local split-screen co-op.[4]

Reception

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2022)

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[17]

IGN gave the game 6/10, writing that "Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed does a fine job of updating the 2006 original to look like a modern game, but that game was a fairly unambitious sequel that didn't do much to evolve its gameplay...by and large it's more of the same B-movie sci-fi homage without a lot of brain-popping new ideas."[14]
