Earth Defense Force 2017

Utnayan · 03-24-2007, 12:53 PM

This is probably one of the most mindless, idiotic games I have ever played. But for $39.99, I cannot believe how much damn fun it is.

Basically you just go around blowing shit up. Buildings? No problem. Alient ants? Sounds good. They are out of your gun range? Just blast what they are standing on and watch it all fall down.

It's a never ending stream of just pure chaos without any redeeming value to the game itself. But Jesus it is hilarious to play.

Check it out if you get the chance as a rental, but $39.99 is pretty cheap anyway.

But wait, there's more!!!

RiskyChris · 03-27-2007, 11:25 PM

So is this game crazy fun in the same way Serious Sam is? If so, I may have to reserve some of my fundz to pick this up.

Szlia · 03-28-2007, 12:41 PM

It's less crazy in the "what can we do with an FPS?" sense, but maybe more in the "How campy and overboard can we go?" sense.

Yeah I'm bumping an old thread because me and my brothers have now played this game far more than anything else on the 360. It's kinda like Dynasty Warriors, but with rockets and guns and giant bugs and robots instead of swords and asians.

That said, fuck the last two stages on Inferno.

Delenar · 08-10-2007, 05:16 PM

Saw it used for 19.99 and thought about picking it up. Where I live now there are no good rental stores nearby so I might just end up getting it.

It's a solid rental, that's for sure. Speaking of Dynasty Warriors - Gundam sucks, Orochi which looks good is out Sept 18.

oddly enough ive been tempted anough to get this game ever since kevin pereira said it was badass on attack of the show, and i'm a tool for that man.

guess this just justifies his cause even moreso!

Tancred · 08-11-2007, 03:17 AM

This game rules. Get it!

It has changed my view of gaming forever. In any future game, if my rockets don't bring down skyscrapers I'm going to be disappointed.

Grimmlokk · 08-11-2007, 11:44 AM

They should also have a giant armored godzilla rip off with 200' plasma cannons instead of arms.

The game is a blast, especially co-op. Probably a bit easy once you get the better weapons(until the last couple levels on inferno), but mad fun. Launching a rocket into a monster nest and seeing 30 gigantic ants/spiders go flying off into the horizon is just awesome.

If you see it used and cheap pick it up. How I got it. Solo it might keep you entertained for awhile, but co-op it's more fun like any other game.

joz123 · 08-11-2007, 12:27 PM

Is the co-op online?

Grimmlokk · 08-11-2007, 01:12 PM

I don't think so. It's a pretty low-budget title really.

Tancred · 08-12-2007, 01:06 AM

Yeah it's a budget (Originally retailed for ~£25 rather than £40-50 here in the UK) title and some of the production values are low. There are low-res sprites in view omg! No online co-op and even in local co-op the second player doesn't qualify for the achievements.

Still makes me hoot with laughter though.
