THQ’s snarky, irritable alien invader Crypto is finally hitting the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall in Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon. I had my first chance to catch a sneak peek at the game last week at THQ’s Gamer’s day, and it’s shaping up to look like, well, other Destroy All Humans! titles. 

The game is set in the 1970s, following the events of the recent Wii-only Destroy All Humans! game, Big Willy Unleashed. Our shriveled little alien hero is now running a casino in the game’s parody of the real world’s Las Vegas, Las Paradiso. A bit down and out, Crypto finds that he’s lost what’s most important in his life — his passion for destroying all humans.

As a result, he begins to hear a voice in his head, calling him to the game’s fictional Hong Kong, a place called Shen Long. He meets the Furon version of Kung-Fu’s Master Po, who places Crypto on the path to Furon enlightenment. It’s this training that is the foundation for many of the game’s new abilities, and ultimately the tools that help Crypto unravel and come face-to-face with those behind a twisted Furon conspiracy.

THQ and the game’s developer, Sandblast (Evil Dead: Regeneration) were allowing hands-on time with an early version of the game’s Hollywood spoof level, Sunnywood. This same area will eventually be coming home as a consumer demo later this year, but in the meantime, hit the jump for details and impressions of the game’s new weapons and abilities.
