Earth Defense Force 2017 Walkthrough Video Game Strategy Guide (XBOX 360)
Release Date:03/15/2007 ESRB Rating: Teen Genre: Shooter Publisher: D3 Publisher Developer: Sandlot Technically speaking, Earth Defense Force 2017 is not a good videogame. Everything from the visuals to the level design just screams low-budget in an all too unflattering way. Yet, I just spent the past weekend playing nearly 22 hours of the game, most of it with a compatriot playing by my side. I even stayed in on St. Patrick's Day to play it rather than celebrating the Irish in all of us. How does it happen that a game can be so horrible and horribly addicting at the same time? Earth Defense Force 2017 is cheesy, can't sustain a solid frame rate to save its life, and by all accounts should be boring due to its repetition. And yet, the game is fun enough that I'm ready for more.
The premise is simple. Aliens are invading the planet and it's up to the Earth Defense Force to show them we humans won't go down without a fight, just like Will Smith did Independence Day-style.
The fighting takes place across 53 stages where the EDF tackles hordes of giant ants, spiders, robots, and even the occasional cyborg dino-mech. The gameplay rides on the idea that throwing overwhelming numbers of enemies at you will create all of the tension and action you could ever need. The only hope is to kill them with one of 150 weapons or a handful of clunky vehicles before they swarm you and end all pathetic human life. Every building and tree can be blown up and knocked down too, but that's about it as far as gameplay goes. This is a straightforward, old-school shooter that doesn't apologize for its lack of gameplay depth one bit. There's no thought here aside from weapon selection. You just shoot.
