The pointer and camera issues mean none of this is any fun at all. If you want to bodysnatch a character, you must first shoot two moving icons. The Wii remote is also used to point and shoot at enemies. Dare to relax even slightly and the camera will spin madly and get stuck to the side of the screen. Your arm must be kept in a rigid right angle at all times. Sometimes the game just won't let you move the camera, for no discernible reason you must to use the nunchuk to move Crypto into a different position first. And trying to cope with the fact the pointer keeps sticking to the edge of the screen. So you'll be feeling nauseous even before you attempt to control the game's camera. The colour pallette is vile, all grubby greys and murky oranges, and everything is fuzzy. The frame-rate stutters along and the pop-up is so bad you almost find yourself tripping over in-game objects. The textures are the funniest thing in the entire game. You play as Crypto, and you get to explore one of the ugliest openworld environments ever.

Ha ha ha! Visually impaired They actually picked this as an image highlighting the game's positive qualities. Which the first Austin Powers film parodied in a similar fashion. This is a parody of Big Boy, the mascot of real-life US food chain. Its mascot is Big Willy himself, a 25-foot statue of a toddler. Then there's some rubbish about Mekon-rip-off Pox turning humans into hot dogs which he sells through the Big Willy fast food chain. There's a character called Patty Wurst, as in Patty Hearst, the famous heiress who was kidnapped at gunpoint, kept blindfolded in a closet for two months, repeatedly sexually and physically abused and brainwashed into helping her captors commit crimes.

The game is set in the '70s, as you can tell by the clunky pop culture references and the way everyone wears flares. Comedy alien Crypto is back, doing his comedy Jack Nicholson impression just in case anyone has forgotten the reason this franchise isn't called Mars Attacks is because THQ couldn't afford the comedy licence. Even fans of the original Destroy All Humans games won't find anything to enjoy in this, the series' first Wii instalment in the series. Here's what else you can expect from the game: an abominable control system, tedious missions, hideous visuals and laughable multiplayer options. Except Big Willy Unleashed isn't as mature or witty as that. They said willy! You know! As in a man's penis! As in my friend Billy had a ten foot willy and he showed it to the girl next door, she thought it was a snake so she hit it with a rake and now he's doing time because she's four. Once you climb into the insanely powerful robot, you're able to toss cars, shoot eye beams, and bite off human heads like they were candy.You can guess what to expect from the humour in Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed. The most prominent new addition to the game is the titular Big Willy, a mech designed to look like the restaurant's Big Boy-esque mascot.

You can also hop into the alien's flying saucer and rain down destruction from above. You'll spend the bulk of the game running around as Crypto, using a variety of weapons and his ability to telekinetically pick up and throw objects. You accomplish this by tackling a variety of missions that are scattered throughout a handful of different locations. Unfortunately, the restaurant's dark secret has gotten out, and it's up to Crypto to stop protestors and rival restaurant owners from ruining the plan. He's started a fast-food chain called Big Willy's that sells hot dogs made out of a very special kind of mystery meat.

Pox has devised an ingenious way to dispose of the countless human bodies that Crypto has generated over the course of the previous games. This latest entry takes Crypto into the 1970s, where he is given his latest mission by Pox, the Furon scientist who has guided our anti-hero through the past two games. Their sandbox-style gameplay set within the context of a B-movie was rather fun and good for a laugh. Not that we've minded his previous adventures. If he was any good at "destroying all humans," there wouldn't have been any need for a second or third game in his series. Alien invader Crypto must be pretty bad at his job.
