"Path of the Furon picks up right where the last game in the series, Big Willy Unleashed, left off. Crypto is running a Vegas casino as he has grown weary of the constant struggle of harvesting DNA from witless humans. The lovely little human brain stem farm masked as a Sin City casino is soon brought down by a mysterious race of cyborgs known as Nexos and the story takes off from there.
The level that we toyed with was set in a makeshift Los Angeles where in place of the infamous Hollywood sign stood a display that read 'Sunnywood.' Knock off the 'Sunny' and you'll get a funny cutscene and an achievement for your immature sense of humor. We were told that Path of the Furon would feature plenty of fun achievements for odd jobs around the city. There's a weapon called the Venus Human Trap where Crypto quite literally plants a seed which spawns a massive plant, not unlike something out of The Little Shop of Horrors. The creature then proceeds to pick up innocent bystanders and eat them, up to six at one time, growing to massive proportions along the way. Chomp down on enough skulls in a given time period and you'll get one of the more creative achievements."
Before games had a heavy emphasis on graphical capability they were all about fun and random craziness that would keep players coming back for more usually with a selection of unusual weapons

Gamebosh: "Since the whole 'Big Willy' fast-food incident last time around, alien clone Cryptosporidium has crashed his ship in Vegas and been cloned once again by his master, Pox. We meet Crypto a few years later to find he's running the Space Dust casino. Bored of their current existence, Pox demands Crypto start harvesting human DNA again whilst bringing more money to the casino by wiping out the mob."
