Really Bad

Yet another Wii adaptation and not design

This game like so many other games for the Wii suffers from almost unplayable control adaptation. The Wii's capable of smooth control such as title like the new Zelda or Mario Galaxy. It seems that many third party game designers think of the Wii's control aspect as a afterthought when they design the game. The result is a atrociious design where you utilize the pointer feature of the controller to not only aim (as you would imagine) but also to move the camera. This results in a complete inability to pan the camera whilst still maintaining your aim and firing at the attackers. There is no excuse for this type of control. If you have a 360 or PS3 wait for the next DAH installment on those platforms and pass this over.

Bad

Terrible Controls

I loved Destroy All Humans 2 on the PS2, and was really looking forward to the next in the series. The story and dialog are still witty and fun, but the control scheme is clunky and frustrating. I'm not sure if it's just that the game is a poor implementation of Wii technology, or whether the Wii just isn't a great platform for shooter-type games like this. I know Metroid Prime and Resident Evil on the Wii have their fans, os maybe it's just this game, but I am leaning more towards the latter conclusion.

The other major disappointment was the lack of a true two-player mode. Yes, you can play individual missions in a special 2-player mode, but it's not the same as playing out the entire story with a friend. I sure hope they don't follow the same scheme in the PS3 and 360 versions coming out later this year. They are different titles (not Big Willy), so I am hopeful.

Anyway, my advice is to pass on this unless you are willing to put up with the poor controls.

The humor is witty, the voice talent is decent, but I couldn't play this game. The controls were atrocious. Not to mention the camera. I got more and more frustrated as the game went on as I couldn't do the things I wanted to do because I spent so much time fighting the controls. If you enjoyed the first two games (and I did) this game will have something you enjoy, but the Wii version (which I played) was almost impossible to manage.
