THQ, you've ruined the franchised I loved. Prepare yourselves for a long slog through this mournful swamp.
User Rating: 3.5 | Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed WII
This game may bare the Destroy All Humans! name, but it doesn't deserve it. I absolutely love the DAH! franchise. But when it came to this... my heart was broken. Clearly from the start it's clear that THQ simply wanted a quick port to the Wii. They succeeded in that, but failed miserably elsewhere. One of their biggest mistakes was replacing the original voice cast, which made the humour dry and shallow. Pox acted gay, and even though they're aliens, the best they could come up with was a 15 foot tall fiberglass toddler. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. This was made worse, due to the fact that the main story revolved around nothing but corny penis jokes and Pox's restaurant. The new voice actors are extremely cheap imitations of the originals. Any mention of the game's "prequel" DAH!2 was only made in side quests, and the main plot had nothing to do with the following game at all. The game is indeed, a little repetitive, not to mention short, with less weapons, locations, and game play options that all the games that came before it. The graphics made PS2 look next-gen, and the damage feedback was absolutely pathetic. If you damage a building, it turns RED. No fire, it just turns red. The rag-doll effects and cortex scanning, one of the prime sources of comedy, were gone. This made you feel cut off from the people, unable to discover any 70's thoughts they may have had. PK is much worse than what it was in DAH!2, PK Push barely threw the human or object, and once and object was in PK, it had little to no mobility, making PK seem somewhat... weak. Another flaw that the game is a loosely put together piece of detritus, is that the music used in the game was originally meant for Path of the Furon, and it feels really out of place. Adding to that, this is pretty much the only thing this game has relating to Path of the Furon. The game does have good ideas though, such as jumping in bodysnatch, bodysnatching animals, a shrink ray and a zombie gun. Though these are very good ideas, they're loosely showcased in the game, and animations aren't as nice as they should be. Is the game for you? If you're a hardcore DAH! fan, and own a Wii, then rent it, or wait until the rip-off price of $45 goes down. Otherwise, pretend the game doesn't exist. Just forget about it and walk away, before your taste in DAH! is severed forever. My suggestion is save your money for Path of the Furon, as it'll be worth the wait and money, and you won't lose your appetite in the process. To sum it all up, Big Willy Unleashed wasn't a step down the ladder, but completely fell off. We can only hope Path of the Furon, releasing later this year, will reach the top of the ladder, and make up for this awful tragedy that is Big Willy. Luckily for the game, it still has DAH! in the title, and just for that, I'm giving it a 3.5, despite the fact it deserves a big fat zero. THQ, you'd better get your head out of the mud. Any potential in this game was ruined. I expect better when the next game releases.
