Game description: Destroy All Humans! 2 takes the irreverent Sci-Fi action gaming experience into the swinging sixties with all new game features, expanded open-world gameplay and co-op multiplayer. Assuming the role of the Furon Scout - Crypto 137 - players will embark on another mission to earth to take on the world of free love, the Cold War and other 60's era icons. In Destroy All Humans! 2 Players have access to an upgraded arsenal of weapons and enhanced mental abilities while they battle a variety of new enemies from secret agents and giant creatures to Soviet Forces and ninja warriors.
The sequel to Destroy All Humans!. The game is set in 1969, 12 years after the original. The game begins with a KGB slide show meeting showing that the main character from Destroy All Humans!, Cryptosporidium-137, is now deceased for unknown reasons. His clone, Cryptosporidium-138 (Crypto for short), made of more pure Furon DNA, is now taking his place and continuing to pose as the United States President. KGB intelligence reveals that Crypto-138 is the first and only Furon to have genitalia, referred to only as "The Package". Seeing the Furons as a threat to the Soviet Union, the KGB destroy the Furon mothership with a nuclear missile. Soon after, Crypto's new adventure begins.

r4600 0.9.8 | ? | ? | FPS: 55-60 FPS, None, major slowdown on all, Native Resolution, In-game a sort of "shadow" is on the screen, but blocky showing vague things of the environment, but past that is the game, which would look normal if not for that, and scaling also major slows it down and ANY hacks do, too. (So no hacks) All menus are fine. Could play through entire if one could get past the blocky shadow. | Bot2345 |

BIOS: Any, HACKS: Skipdraw 5 in GSdx is recommended, when playing in hardware mode., Full screen shadow like issue in the whole game., Runs fine in hardware mode at 3x upscale. Skipdraw 5 needed in this mode. Check known issues. Software mode has no graphical issues. The game is fully playable. Be aware that sw mode is highly demanding. With above PC specs it uses around 70% CPU power! Can get slowdowns in intense fightings. | Yuri |

The same thing as Yuri said. Skipdraw and 3X native did not seem to get rid of the graphical glitch, but your mileage may vary.Bios v 2.0 was used. | Zrooney |

Solid 60 FPS, Skipdraw 5X Scaling 4X. Some issues where the subtitles and the dialog options are not displayed, no character shadows. Strange texture glitches are now fixed. | Arkelyos |

BIOS: Japan V01.00. Fair Performance mostly 90+% but does drop to 80% every now and then - I will still enjoy completing the game , Skipdraw hack to fix HW Rendering sadly removes shadows but thats better than having to run it native res and my cpu cant run software very fast. Some bugs with HUD but nothing major. My Rig does not run DX11 HW properly; the ground and a lot of environmental objects do not render so i had to switch to OpenGL. | Xproflipscarab |
