EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 2025
D3 Publisher
PS3 (also on Xbox
360)
EDF!
EDF! EDF! If this chant means nothing to you then, well, it’s treat
time. Assuming that you like saving the Earth – and if you don’t
like saving the Earth then you must be a terrorist. We’re dobbing
you into Jack Bauer.
Anyway, single or multiplayer
third-person shooty-shooter Earth Defense Force 2025 is
full of bugs. You also have heaps of the fuckers to shoot... It’s
not the slickest game that you’ll ever see, and it’s not the
slickest game that you’ll ever play. But it just might be one of the
most entertaining.
Hang on, didn’t we eradicate ’em all back
– erm, forward - in 2017? Yeah, that’s what they wanted us to
believe. Sneaky bloody bugs. They actually took a hot tip from Ben
Folds and naffed off underground, breeding their arses off (perhaps,
we’re not entirely sure what anatomical bits space bugs bonk with)
until deciding that Earth was ripe for another assault. Together
with their moon-based Ravager bosses, they rain icky-creepy-buggy
war on our troops. But hey, EDF! EDF! EDF!
So, you pick one
of four soldier types and enter battle armed with two weapons –
unless you pick the Fencer, who can have four. They’re all balanced
differently – some can fly, some are more gruntbuggly. You’ll soon
find your preference. The fray’s subsequently entered on any of five
difficulties, with varying amounts of, and types of, bugs invading.
But you’ll fight them on the beaches, in the streets, in the
caverns, in the air – and also experience copious amounts of glee
(sans singing) from levelling buildings. EDF! EDF! EDF!
The
EDF games have always been about big, dumb, joyful B-movie
fun, and 2025 doesn’t break anything. To be honest it’s not
particularly different, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Well, unless it’s a bug, whereby you should fix the living
suitcase out of it. EDF! EDF! EDF!
