The primary two video games have been well-received, however a Wii spin-off and the Xbox 360 recreation Destroy All People: Path of the Furon each acquired adverse evaluations. 12 years glided by earlier than the remake launched, and it is unclear what plans are for the longer term. A tease from back in February appeared to trace at a full remake of the second recreation.
