You can find out why they decided to give this game a funky backdrop when you read the full article up next.

If you’re wondering why Pandemic Studios and THQ draped their upcoming Nintendo Wii game in a 1970s theme, the game’s creators gave a simple explanation: the first Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed was set in the 1950s, while the sequel had a 1960s template. It should be logical then, that this one be set in the 70s.

But aside from chronology, it was stated in the Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed blog that the 70s have a unique charm to it because of the socio-political atmosphere of the region. A lot of changes took place, and they wanted to share to the gamers of today a more accurate depiction of the era.

The decade saw the unprecedented resignation of Richard Nixon from the Oval Office. It was also a time of struggle for America’s economy as gas prices soared because of an OPEC gas embargo, triggering inflations and labor strikes. This time of adversity also gave birth to a rich fashion and trend era.

Some of you may think you already know the 70s because of what you see on TV, but Pandemic says they’ll give you a nice and enjoyable breakthrough once you get your hands on Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed. Let’s see if they can deliver on that promise as we keep you updated.
