As of late, been playing Destroy All Humans!: Big Willy Unleashed for the Wii, which a friend got me for my birthday. I'm about 3/4 through the game...normally, I'd be a bit further along, but I'm pretty sandbox-happy a lot of the time and this game offers plenty of reasons to take advantage of sandboxing when you complete a mission, and not just simply for the fun of vaporizing the human race on foot, in a saucer, and a giant mech. But overall...I think the game is pretty good. I was a bit afraid of controls, but they work very nicely on the Wii. It doesn't change too much of the DAH formula, but the graphics are upgraded, and now there's a giant mech to wreak havoc in. Though I will say I'm a bit disappointed in the fact that there are only four maps (down from 6 in the first game and 5 in the second), but I haven't seen the last one yet and the third one I love. So if the fourth map is awesome, I may forgive that. Otherwise, this game continues some DAH traditions...parodying the era (the 70s in this case) with plenty of pop culture and political references from that time period. I will also say I have laughed out loud a few times, especially at one Lord of the Rings reference that was so obvious in the game's plotline that the developers ran with it and made fun of themselves for it. It doesn't make any radical changes and did take some flak for that, but it also seems to be targeted mainly at the people who already liked DAH to begin with. Thus, I'm enjoying it.
