    Destroy All Humans!: Big Willy Unleashed has its moments but they are primarily found in the first city, and while the Vietnam and Fantasy Island spoofs find their marks, there is far more material from the 1970s worth mining.

    Still, the actual act of destroying humans works rather well with the newly implemented motion controls. [Apr 2008, p.88]

    In the end it comes off as too uneven; any time I started enjoying myself too much, the game would smack me down with another boring mission or irritating control issue.

    Oozed originality on PS2 a few years back but now feels stale. Wii controls are weak. [May 2008, p.56]

    While there are some fun effects and animations with the weaponry (I admit I still laugh every time an anal probe victim runs away from me clutching their rears), the graphics are surprisingly blocky and crude, even for a Wii game.

    It's inherited all the original game's problems—a major feat, since it's developed by a whole new company—and lost some of its charm in the process.

    The gameplay in Destroy All Humans is getting stale, and Big Willy Unleashed beats the dead horse with a death ray.

WHAT THE HELL X( the one liners just about save it... as does the comedic value of a few of the weapons. It takes some getting used to and the upgrade system is a bit sucky compared to the previous two... and there's one mission at the moment which reminds me sooo much of that highly annoying Coit Tower one in DAH2.... Fans beware, it won't be what your expecting from DAH...… Expand

    Could have been a lot better, longer and more engaging. DAH is one of my favorite game series of all time. Pandemic studios were pure genius Could have been a lot better, longer and more engaging. DAH is one of my favorite game series of all time. Pandemic studios were pure genius when they invented DAH and did even better with DAH2. Pandemic should be doing DAH. Unfortunately Pandemic left THQ and now some other studio is doing DAH by re-hashing the same ideas done in earlier DAH without putting their effort into making it awesome the way Pandemic did. Cancelling the PS2 version to try to ride the Wii gravy wagon as early as possible was a big booboo against the original fans of the series.… Expand

    This destory all humans game is good. It is probaly the worse DAH game but that doesn't mean it's bad. All the DHA games are well This destory all humans game is good. It is probaly the worse DAH game but that doesn't mean it's bad. All the DHA games are well polished and have good controls. What makes this game not as great is the controls. The ufo controls are easly the worse. I am renting it at the moment and it was worth it. Not sure if i would buy it but a good fun game definatly worth renting.… Expand

    I love the DAH games; this game was the reason why I bought the game but this game is true and uter **** in every way possible. I grew up withI love the DAH games; this game was the reason why I bought the game but this game is true and uter **** in every way possible. I grew up with DAH 1 and 2 always loved playing them, I still do, they we great sand box games, this was not. the controls were awful, aiming was ridiculously difficult and I never got used to it. to tern, you had to move the cursor to ether side of the screen, this sounds fine but try doing it wast shooting moving and being shot at. weapons weren't satisfying at all; before (and after) the DAH games has fun and imaginative weapons that were practical to use and upgrade, in this, you use the disintegrator ray and nothing else (unless you have no other choice). levels were badly designed and riddled with glitches that at times could stop the game from working (getting stuck in walls, missions not appearing and other smaller ones). the vehicles (saucer and big willy robot) were badly implemented and weren't fun to use. there is no reason to play this game, its **** in every way.… Expand
