Earth Defense Force 2017

I've never played an uglier, buggier, more broken looking game than this and still had so much damn fun. It's a budget 360 game from the Simple 2000 series that so far as I know was previously only sold in Japan.

Anyway it's basically a run and gun shooter with a very heavy b movie theme. What makes it so great is its simplicity and the fact that you can blow everything to tiny bits and not suffer any penalties. Definitely a great time waster for short sessions, and you can even play co-op!

For a budget game, I give this one two thumbs up.

One of my co-workers was playing this the other day, it looks like fun, every monster is HUGE! and the big monsters are GINORMUS!

Yeah I got it a few weeks ago, but I haven't played it lately since my 360 died.

Great game, though.

$40?

The only games that get played here on the office 360 are under $4.99 or demos.

BTW, the PAL version of the predecessor EDF2 has been finally released in the UK for 10 pounds last month as Global Defense Force. Any EDF2017 review aware of that game says EDF2/GDF is better than EDF2017. It's for the PS2 and doesn't look as good but it's still impressive to see huge swarms of enemies on the freaking PS2.
