Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed

Developer: Pandemic
Format: Wii
Genre: Arcade

Far be it from us to make any jokes about a Big Willy



If you've played either (or both) of the previous games, you know the weapons in the games are exotic, over the top, and often just plain hilarious.. So when it came time for Pandemic to begin designing Big Willy Unleashed, they decided they wanted a whole new way to play the game and still remain true to the franchise. What better way to do that than to offer even newer tools of destruction?

The Sonic Boom is still the weapon of choice to send enemy tanks a message of "greetings from outer space." And nothing still says "take me to your leader" like the Quantum Deconstructor, the ultimate weapon for any Furon invasion for turning a thriving metropolis into a smouldering redevelopment zone. For Cryptosporidium-137 (affectionately know as Crypto), his Zap-O-Matic delivers gig-a-volts of tooth-rattling electro-shock goodness as it did in the first two games. His Ion Detonator continues to pack a plasmatic wallop that'll break up any family picnic. The Anal Probe, a recurring favourite of ours remains the best instrument for both harvesting a brain stem and eliminating a pesky combatant - all with a single shot! And the Disintegrator still turns matter to a mere memory.

Then there's the star of the title: Big Willy. In front of every Big Willy's fast food restaurant stands a cheery rosy-cheeked irresistible mascot named Big Willy. But rather than an effective marketing icon Big Willy is actually a devastating war machine armed up the wazoo with Furon weaponry, capable of wreaking havoc in an up close and personal way! He's got Heat Beam Eyes, a massive gun called a Regurg-a-tron and an explosive blast from his rear called a WindBreaker.

It's like a sci-fi Carry On film with farting robots of death at every turn. We can't wait to see the finished version at the end of Feb.
