[edit] Plot
The game takes place sometime in the 1970s, a decade after the last installment. Cryptosporidium-138 and his mentor Orthopox-13 attempt to support the popularity of Big Willy, a fast food restaurant owned by Pox himself. His secret recipe of the Big Willy food franchise was actually human meat. The meat is served from the dead bodies that were left behind after Crypto got their brain stems, and eventually became another hunt.
When it is discovered that a kidnapped heiress by the name of Patty Wurst has discovered the secret recipe of the restaurant, Crypto and Pox have to stop her before exposing them. As of now, it is learned that Wurst was working with Colonel Kluckin, the restaurant rival of Crypto and Pox, who had discovered the secret recipe as well. After several missions, Crypto, piloting the mascot of Pox's restaurant, the statue-like robotic Big Willy, heads to the park of Harbor City where he stops Wurst from starting a group of protestors. She is later defeated by Crypto in Big Willy during a fight in the city while inside a combat tank.
Heading for the town of Fairfield, Crypto goes against an army of roller-skating college girls led by one who is named Mindy Peters. As of attempting to get the attractive army away from the restaurant in Fairfield, Crypto disguises himself as an attractive human male and seduces Mindy Peters, then manages to annihilate her.
Soon after, Crypto travels to Fantasy-Atoll, where he and Pox encounter a businessman by the name of Mr. Pork and his assistant Ratpoo. Unfortunately, the alien duo cannot continue the mission as Pox requested his body back as an offer. After Pox's consciousness is put in a giant body-creating unit made by Pork, Colonel Kluckin sends his men after him and Crypto. After Pox's offer to get his body is destroyed, Crypto manages to bring him back and upon the betrayal of Pork, he defeats him after the destruction of his battleship, the "Hate Boat".
Heading for Vietmahl, Crypto and Pox confront a traitorous Big Willy employer named Trahn who works with Kluckin as well. After successfully won several missions, with one of them killing Trahn, Crypto heads inside Big Willy and manages to defeat Colonel Kluckin in a robotic version of a rain forest god. However, Pox claims that he is done with Big Willy restaurants, though Crypto agrees to take care of the business and what to do with the money given by costumers during the franchise.

[edit] Characters
- Cryptosporidium 138 - Crypto's affection for Earth's adult indulgences are as enduring as the fabric of a polyester leisure suit.
- Orthopox 13 - Pox guides Crypto through a series of perilous missions, but also watches his back.
- Colonel Kluckin - He's one third used-car salesman, one third Texas politician, and one third big-top ringmaster, all rolled up into a crazy business tycoon that Boss Hogg would be proud of. He may be a shrewd businessman bent on dominating the fast food world and is the one who finds out the secret recipe. After many scuffles and run ins with Crypto, he faces his nemesis in Vietmahl in a mechanical version of a rain forest god and subsequently, he is killed as Crypto (in his Big Willy robot) managed to destroy his robot after the intense battle.
- Patty Wurst - Fashion Supermodel billionaire heiress, turned militant activist anarchist, Patty Wurst has flair for metaphorical vagaries and misguided social causes. The character bares a resemblance to the life story of Patty Hearst.[3] She is defeated by Crypto in his Big Willy robot going against him in a giant combat tank.
- Mr. Pork - This benevolent owner of Fantasy Atoll has a special medallion made that protects him from Furon weaponry, and also a tall, and faithful, assistant named Ratpoo. Pork is defeated after the death of Ratpoo and the destruction his battleship, the "Hate Boat".
- Mindy Peters - Mindy is the leader of a gang of roller blading girls armed with Furon D-rays.

She is vaporized after Crypto disguises himself as an attractive human male (known as the Corncob King) and leads her to her doom.
- Blastomycosis (Blasto for short) - A Furon child with some human features. Little is known about him, except that when Crypto is doing certain jobs, he makes his appearance, showing an ion detonator in his hands and firing a bomb from the detonator to blast a human or a group of humans before taking off. It is later discovered that Blasto was, in fact, the son of Cryptosporidium and Natalya Ivanova. This could mean that Crypto, and Natalya Ivanova[in Destory All Humans 2} could have had sex with one another.
- Toxoplasma Gondii - A snobby bureaucrat and Furon Efficiency Expert who hails from the Furon homeworld, Gondii puts Crypto through a series of tests designed to prove Crypto's invasion skills while at the same time breaking his spirit. When it is eventually discovered that Gondii is a fraud, posing as an efficiency expert and trying to get Crypto's spirits down so that he can take his place, Crypto and Pox seize the chance to destroy him, and notify Gorta, so that his next clone would be transferred to Gorta's Prison Moon.

[edit] Trivia
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |

[edit] Goofs and Mistakes
- The game supposedly takes place after the events of Destroy All Humans! 2, however, in Big Willy Unleashed, Crypto's clone number is 137, when in DAH2 it is said that 137 died of unknown causes and Crypto 138 was created to take his place. This is a possible mistake.
- In Destroy All Humans! 2 it said Crypto had complete Furon D.N.A and had reproductive organs.Yet in Big Willy Unleashed the bulge in Crypto's suit is gone, although Pox still mentions how Crypto's girl craziness gets him in trouble.
- Gastro, despite being a major Furon Character, was introduced in Destroy All Humans! 2, however, there is no trace of him what so ever in Big Willy Unleashed.
