Video Game Reviews of Earth Defense Force 2017
Customer Review: inexplicably one of the best games I have ever played
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw it I was completely turned off---the graphics are off-putting to say the least---but was I wrong. It's been a staple of gaming with a friend for a few months now. We are almost done with the entire thing, every weapon obtained, every level completed on every difficulty. All this probably took us, oh, seventy hours. This game brings the goofy spirit of Japanese monster movies to the Xbox 360, but it hides an incredible tactical challenge under the silly graphics and "Hoh! Gojira!" storyline straight out of Ultraman.
What floors me is the tactical depth. Early on you have it rough because you have little health and no good weapons and, frankly, lack the skills to do what you need to do. After you get some good weapons you can defeat many more maps just blasting away with guided missiles and rocket launchers. However, as you raise the difficulty the better weapons don't do the job anymore and you have to really reach down to get creative tactically. What's more a well-executed, aggressive plan based on close combat will work on, say, Hard or Hardest difficulty on nearly all maps but fail miserably when you move up to Inferno, where some of the monsters (spiders!) become essentially instant death if they get a grip on you and others take a truly ludicrous amount of punishment before going down under your onslaught. So even though you're playing the same maps, the way you play them changes completely as you move through the game. As time goes on you have more weapons and health... and boy do you need them. The harder maps on Inferno are, well, they're really, really, really hard.
The destructible environments, huge explosions, rockets firing into giant UFOs in the air, Hector robots, acid squirting terror ants, leaping spiders, crazy vehicles, and so on. It's so bad it's got to be good... and it is.
