1 Hour Review: Earth Defense Force 2017

So far, my favorite thing about this game is that I've been given access to a new weapon created in 2008. The current year is 2017. You see where the humor lay.

This game is the most pitiful game I've ever seen. It truly belongs on an Xbox or PS2. Or GameCube. Or a web browser. But for some reason, some really strange reason, getting access to big guns that never run out of ammo and shooting ants the size of tour buses is amusing in a Space Invaders meets 4th of July fireworks kind of way.

I look and saw that the game has 6 achievements: 1 for each difficulty level and one for collecting all the weapons. I've been playing for almost an hour and I'm halfway through the normal difficulty. It's a short, unimaginitive (all the levels are in the same city setting) and poorly programmed. But hell if it's not playable, loud, and mindless.

And that IS why we play games, right?

So I'm going to enjoy this $13 purchase for the time being.
