Earth Defense Force, a game that people somehow enjoy... yet totally despise at the very same moment.
At the beginning of my experience with E.D.F. (Earth Defense Force) I thought it was a joke. Not to be critical, but I just didn't really see value in it. The game itself however is strangely fun.
In the very first level I was unimpressed, to say the least, with the horrible sound effects, corny lines (do we really... ever say things like this?), old graphics, and seemingly no shortage in stupidity. Oddly enough I began to look past the big pile of trash and looked at its playability. The game itself can actually be quite entertaining... in a "this is so incredibly stupid it's fun" kind of way. One of my favourite aspects was being able to level an entire city with ease.
The only way to really put up with all this bad aspects and play this game is to play it with a good friend in the two-player co-operative mode. There isn't enough time in the span of the universe to comprehend how many things about this game just make you want jump off a bridge, because you have lost all faith in humanity. Still at any rate, it was a fun game, and extremely annoying. I'd suggest keeping your eyes open for different... highly superior games, but if you honestly have nothing better to do? Then have at it.
