Earth Defence Force 2017

I just picked this up today

I must say it's alot better than people are saying. Yeah alot of the criticisms are right but the graphics are really good for a budget game (better than Bullet witch which isn't a budget game) and the gameplay is pure old school shoot everything that moves.

AND YOU KILL GIANT ANTS

what's not to love?

Well, realistically, it's not a budget game. It sold for full price in Japan and $40 here. Online coop would have been nice, too.

I had a lot of fun with it, though; I liked it a lot more than 2.

I'll be sure to pick it up if I see it and have the dough to buy it.

That's interesting, nearly all opinions I've heard from fans of the series said that 2017 was more of an EDF 1.5 with nice gfx but otherwise downgraded (absence of Palewing and less levels).
Why do you think that it's superior?
(btw I haven't played it yet, but I'm tempted to get an XBox 360 for it)

This game is way more fun with 2 people.
