This game has been deemed the worst DAH! game ever, and is now considered a side port for the Wii. Path of the Furon is now considered the 3rd in the series. This game ruined the series, so all Die Hard DAH! fans are hereby warned to play if you dare.
This game has no connection to PotF what so ever, except the fact they use the Restaurant money to buy the Casino. If you don't play, you wont miss anything.
The Music from Path of the Furon is used in BWU. This spoils the music for PotF, and is extremely cheap.
Before Path of the Furon, the game takes place in the early 70s. It has been said that Crypto and Pox have started a fast food restaurant, and their secret recipe is human meat which is served to collect brain stems, codenamed DNA, as they harvest the Furon DNA once again. A little later in the game, their restaurant rival, Colonel Kluckin, finds out their secret recipe, so Pox makes a giant Big Willy (the mascot of Crypto and Pox's restaurant) Robot that is very similar to working the Saucer, except it's on foot. Now Crypto will defend the restaurant and save the DNA on foot, in the Saucer or in the Big Willy mech. Its seems through previews their enemy drives an orange van.
The saucer's weapons no longer require ammo, but once a weapon is used, it needs to recharge.
Big Willy Unleashed recieved a fairly negative reception. Critics complained about the horrible graphics. Fans complained about no ragdoll effects, bad voice actors, less weapons, not being able to read minds, and difficult controls. If you are a diehard fan of the series, you should still get it, other wise, don't bother.
