Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed is a Wide-Open Sandbox Action-Adventure video game developed by Locomotive Games, published by THQ, and released in 2008 for the Wii. It is the third installment in the Destroy All Humans! franchise.
Set after Destroy All Humans! 2, Cryptosporidium-138 and his mentor, Orthopox-13 have set up a fast-food restaurant chain "Big Willy" as a front-company to dispose of the many human bodies produced from Crypto's brain-harvesting. However, there is a human conspiracy out to reveal this fact to the human public. To protect the mission, Crypto must find the source of this threat and, like the first two games, destroy. All. Humans!
Destroy All Tropes!
- The '70s: Disco, rollerskates and Vietnam War a-plenty.
- Alternate Continuity: Big Willy Unleashed is considered non-canon to the series as a whole.
- Bland-Name Product: The titular restaurant mascot / Humongous Mecha from Big Willy Unleashed is suspiciously similar to the mascot of the Big Boy restaurant chain.
- Cleanup Crew: The Big Willy restaurant chain was created specifically to dispose of the corpses Crypto leaves behind after he harvests their brains.
- Dating What Daddy Hates: Orthopox reveals that in his youth, he dated a rich Furon girl — Ecoli — who only dated him so that her dad would give her a new hovercar. Orthopox had been bitter about it ever since, this being why he hates the trust-fund baby Patty Wurst so much.
- Deadly Gas: Weaponized as Big Willy's Windbreaker.
- Double Entendre: Most of the jokes in this game are centered around the many puns and innuendos one can make from "Big Willy".
- Easter Egg: There is one in Vietmahl. Once the game is completed, Crypto can go to a temple ruins and activate a statue that summons a large group of Furons.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Parodied. When Kluckin' offers Crypto the chance to team-up and combine their companies, Crypto would have been just fine with that. The only problem is that Kluckin' is also grinding up the brains, and since Big Willy was meant to be nothing more than a Cleanup Crew for his hunt for those brains, he acts as though this is what makes Kluckin's methods so deplorable.Crypto: You'd grind people up into chicken dingers with the cortexes? You're Insane!, Kluckin'!
- Everything Fades: Lampshaded by Crypto when Pox explains how he makes fast food.Pox: Crypto, what do you think happens to the corpses of all the humans of whom you suck out the brain stems?
Crypto: I always figured they just faded away when I went around the corner. - Everything's Deader with Zombies: The Zombie Gun lets Crypto turn humans into zombie-minions.
- Gaiden Game: A spin-off for the Nintendo Wii which pretty much stood on its own with no regard for canon or continuity.
- Gratuitous Disco Sequence: Set in The '70s, Pox plans to use disco to brainwash the world's population, which disgusts Crypto, who proceeds to bash the genre.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Blasto is Crypto and Natalya's half-human/half-Furon hybrid son.
- Human Resources: Big Willy's is a fast food shop which makes hot dogs out of the humans that have had their brain stems removed.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Patty Wurst is a very obvious parody of Patty Hearst.
- Running Gag:
- Pox talking about his "Big Willy", unaware of what it sounds like to Crypto.
- Kluckin' pronouncing the Big Willy Mech as a "robut", only for Crypto to try and get him to pronounce it correctly.
- Series Continuity Error: This game supposedly takes place as a prequel to Path of the Furon, but it barely has anything to do with the game, except that Crypto used the profits to create the space dust casino, which is completely false as Crypto crashed into it while drunk, and after Pox re-cloned him, they made it home sweet home.
- Take That!: Pox admits that he works with the USDA in using human-meat to feed the public. He's able to get away with it because there is a Republican in the White House and that he's allowing to do this as long as the meat is "American-grown."
- Tropical Island Adventure: Fantasy Atoll, which is located near Malaysia, according to the navicom.
