    Though the story line of the overall franchise can be a bit stretched, it is very easy to have fun with this game but even easier to be bored with it, therefore this game deserves a "5".

    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 Could have been a lot better, longer and more engaging.

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 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.

    I got to play a bit of DAH! in 2005 on my friend's ps2, but for the most part, Big Willy was my introduction to Destroy All Humans, and I was HOOKED. This game is fun as heck, but the wii controls are garbage. While the spoofs were humorous, the missions were variable and fun to play., this game is brought down to a 7 by the wii's motion controls.

    Tbe invincible mech was just endless destruction (I had no slowdown in fps by the way). Though the graphics were ps2 bad, this did not hurt the game for me.    … Expand

    Big Willy Unleashed is an interesting title to play, but it lacks the longevity of other sandbox titles like it.

    Mission design feels particularly lazy this time round, Locomotive seemingly jotting down amusing cutscene scenarios before finding tenuous ways of tying ‘destroy this’ or ‘abduct that’ tasks to the constant stream of ooh-er references to ‘big willies’ and ‘meat’ in the dialogue. [May 2008, p.97]

    Rather than taking an average game and making it fun like it was intended, it took a decent game and turned it to crap.
