Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed Review by Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt writes: "It's hard, sometimes. Exterminating the human race, I mean. Wiping out random people can be a fun, fulfilling pastime, but there are just so many ways to do it. High voltage electrocution, laser beams, fiery explosions, zombie outbreaks… technology provides so many different possibilities. It can be tough choosing the most satisfying method of slaughter, especially if you've got a good imagination. Actually killing a person, however, is easy; the bodies are ridiculously fragile. The real problem comes with the disposing of the victims. Since the mankind's annihilation is still a covert operation, the alien forces have no choice but to keep the mass murdering a secret. Can you imagine trying to hide thousands of charred, mutilated corpses? It's not easy."

Pros:
-Plenty of cultural references and satire for the American 1970's.
-A nice assortment of weapons keep the bloodshed somehwat entertaining.

Cons:
-Brief and simplistic missions are disappointing.
-Terrible camera and laggy controls.
-Graphics are substandard for the Wii.
-The "Big Willy" joke is done to death.

From the PSP World Article:

"Bundling merchandise with games only works if the tie-in is truly desirable. Sometimes, game companies get it right, but often, they get it horribly, horribly wrong. Here are 5 PSP-related products that should have stayed on the drawing board."

LOL:

magic potion drink, which according to our Japan correspondent, allegedly tastes like “a cross between Mountain Dew, a handful of grass and the vinegar used to keep pickles.”

Destroy All Humans PSP Cancelled

IGN reports: The current PSP release schedule is pretty much a cut-rate psyche test - is the glass half full or half empty? Folks leaning toward the optimistic answer have been dealt a blow today; THQ has officially canned Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed on the PSP.

pwnsause5769d ago

good, the PSP doesnt need ports. especially crappy IPs such as this.

MaximusPrime5769d ago

never played this game and im not even interested.

Lucreto5769d ago

If they canceled the PS2 version it was not likely a PSP version was going to be made.

I hope the true sequal will be as good as the first 2 games.

Zerodin5769d ago

Guess it just isn't worth the Dev's time.

user8586215769d ago

mistertwoturbo5769d ago

I feel bad for any PSP games. Cause it will sell like crap, make no return on their investment, and just be downloaded via torrents.

CrazzyMan5769d ago

almost ALL hardcore games sell POORLY on PSP AND DS.

ONLY Nintendo games(which most are CASUAL stuff) have great sales, all other just suck.

Final Fantasy IV DS Square Enix 1 47,621 (!)
even for great remake, less then 50k first week. Do you see any 3rd party hardcore DS game in the top?

Both consoles suffer from pirated games, ONLY that Casual gamers, who buy ONLY nintendogs or brain training, don`t hack console just for 1-2 games, that`s why it has great sales, all other games sell POORLY.

On the other hand Crisis Core has sold like crazy on the psp. I think it might be because there are more hardcore gamers on the psp and its FFVII.

mistertwoturbo5768d ago

Yeah even 360 games are being pirated. But it's nowhere near as bad as PSP and DS piracy. I bet anything the people who clicked disagree on me are the same folks who download Dark_Alex's firmware.

Is Gameplayer.com the new Kotaku? Sorry, but ten games on the PSP that will turn me on? I think not. If you are getting turned on by a game with anime chicks then you seriously need to get out more often...

Quickstrike5793d ago

just let perverts be perverts. At least its women.
