Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed (Wii) To kill everything in ones path, to destroy all living creatures that may be in your way with little to no regard for their measly lives. It sounds like such a fun thing, and yet the fine people over at THQ managed to mess it up. They same formula is still there but it seems to have gotten old. You are sent on a mission by your holographic commander, you most likely need to kill some humans to get it done, then rinse and repeat. There are some fun weapons but overall it get boring. I mean how many times can I shoot someone with an anal probe before it gets old. The story is kinda meh as well. I mean the original point of the games is to get peoples cortexes. Now you are running a burger joint where you sell human meat back to humans. JUST ENSLAVE THEM. Stop with the round about plot, take an aramada and enslave the planet. Now you don't need to worry about stupid schemes, but I guess this would not leave a good excuse for another game. Now there are a couple of vehicles in Big Willy, these are the Flying Saucer and a Big Willy Robot. These both have their own pros and cons. The saucer has massive weapons and can fly. But once damaged you need to find a landing spot for it to get fixed. Big Willy is pretty much undestructable but needs to pop peoples brains in his mouth or be charged by Cryptos zapper gun when his battery runs out. That is pretty much the most fun that game gives you with the exception of the Zombie Gun. I think you can figure out that one on your own. One of my biggest complaints is the graphics though. I know the Wii is no graphical power house, but it looks exactly like the PS2 Destroy All Humans game did. Then there are the puns. Now I like a good pun now and then, but they need to be clever and occasional to be interesting. After 50 Big Willy puns, it gets REALLy REALLY old. Then there are the controls. Being a Wii Game they have to come up with a unique control scheme right. So in order to hypnotize people, take over their bodies, or creat ammo from objects you need to select the ability then click on the floating icons. If you do not click fast enough then they just come back to haunt you. Also certain aspect of the Big Willy vehicle are controlled by the Wii-Mote, that being throwing or smashing object with stuff in your hands. That part is not too bad since it is not hard to aim. But as just Crypto trying to throw something you telekynically lifted is a bitch. It is also rather difficult to move around sometimes since you control the way Crypto looks by moving the Wii-More to the edge of the screen. But do not think you will do a 180 in one go, it will tell you to bring the Wii-More back to the screen shortly, something I found to be very annoying. 3 / 10 Mfz |
