E3 '07: Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed First Look
Crypto takes on the '70s in this new Destroy All Humans adventure, and we take a first look.
One of the surprises at THQ's booth here at E3 2007 is the revelation that the next Destroy All Humans game is actually two games. One of them, Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed, is being developed for the Wii, PlayStation 2, and PSP, while the other, Destroy All Humans: Path of a Furon, is coming to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. To make things more interesting, the storyline of Big Willy Unleashed takes place during the first half of the 1970s and acts as kind of a prequel to Path of a Furon, which takes place in the latter half of the same decade. You won't need to play both games to get a satisfying story, however, as each of them are fully-formed games in their own right.
Big Willy Unleashed puts you back in the shoes of Crypto as the 1970s gets into full swing. We weren't given too many details about the storyline, but we were told that Crypto and Pox are involved in a get-rich-quick scheme involving a number of Big Willy fast-food restaurants. Pox wants more customers, not only for their dollars, but for their brain stems, which lets Crypto harvest precious DNA. Unfortunately, a rival fast-food chain uncovers their plot and wishes to take down the aliens, forcing Crypto to fight back against them.
One of the new ways in which Crypto takes on his enemies is by entering the large Big Willy mascot robots that Pox has constructed outside the restaurants. Think of a huge Big Boy mascot that moves a bit like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and you have the right idea. The Big Willy acts a bit like a UFO that can be controlled on the ground, in that it has a number of super-powered abilities that can be used to spread havoc, including a heat beam that can be shot from its eyes, as well as a belch and a “Windbreaker” attack that act as puerile but potent area-of-effect attacks.
While Big Willy Unleashed doesn't look to bring any groundbreaking newness to the Destroy All Humans series, it should prove to be a fun continuation of Crypto's story for fans of the series. Stay tuned to GameSpot for more information on the game as it approaches its release date, tentatively set for early 2008.
canceled*
sucks it got cancelled :(
this is first on my christmas list.This game is gona rock!
im definitely gonna gonna buy this game
looks/sounds good!
This Game is gonna be TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIght
It probably isn`t going to be the best one but it should be fun.
I must have because because i have number 1 & 2 i will get this one but is a shame that the other destroy all humans game isn't on ps2 :-(
it is a must have because i already have 1 and 2 but i am upset because its not coming out for the PS3.
this game looks awesome but i would rather get it for the xbox360 or the ps3
Personally i am glad they are putting out a lot of games that challenge the PSP and really pu tit to good use and finally show it's true potential
im going to get it i have played 1 and 2 but 2 is more fun!
finally, destroy all humans on a nintendo system! :)
hmmm it finally looks like i can use my psp for something other than a paperweight or an occasional play of infected or daxter. between this and chains of olympus im gonna be busy
I want this game. But I dont have the system to play it on. I'll just buy a used Ps2 (not just for this game) The path of the furon game is gonna be way better plus I have a 360! Why could they make the bwu game for the 360!? I mean if they were going to go cheap make this game first, then after a year or so start on potf game with useing the money they made off of bwu! It's stupied making two games for totally different systems.
looks good but i think the one for the xbox360is better
I am a big fan of the first 2 so i hope this one will be just as good, im looking forward to the new weapons, if any...
im definitly getting it
looks great especially big willy
thats good, they´re still developing games for Ps2!
@Shadow_Hokage: I too wonder what the Wii controls for this game will be like.
Im happy now that i have both Wii and 360... But im worried what the Wii controller will do to this series.
Wii will rock this series like a fat guy rocks a boat.
Wii will destroy all humans.
Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!
The PS2 onez were wicked ...i wuz wunderin wen 1wud com on the psp and its almost here. any1 who doesn't get it shud be DESTROYED cuz i bet dis 1 will ROCK.
its going to be fun, the first one was hilarous, cant wait to have it

Kinda reminds me of the Lard Lad Donuts statue from the Simpsons Game. Still, I'll be looking forward to some more action with Crypto.

This will be so fun on Wii, and yes, haha big willy.
