Earth Defence Force 2017 Xbox 360 review

Just how much fun can shooting ants be? An awful lot it turns out. Earth Defence Force 2017 is a game that has split reviewers down the middle. Does it make enough use of the Xbox 360’s power? Is Earth Defence Force 2017 a game without any substance? We think this misses the point. Earth Defence Force 2017 is a shooter, pure and simple, stripped of all the plot and trimmings that we have come to expect in today’s glossy games, but all the better for it. Earth Defence Force 2017 is pure and simple fun for your Xbox 360, and anyone who cannot find the fun in shooting giant ants and huge robots, well, look away now.

Earth Defence Force 2017 Xbox 360 review
Well it’s taking considerable willpower to not just throw my arms up in the air, and give this 98%, knocking a couple off just to pretend to be unbiased while secretly wanting to give it 101. Out of 10. There’s a gaming religion, whose services I occasionally attend, that believes that videogames exist to show explosions. If you’re of this church, this is your new holy text. You know what your gran imagines videogames to be like when someone mentions them? Just repetitive, hyperviolent, hypersensory bombardments with shooting and shooting and shooting and more shooting and some shooting after that. Well, that’s exactly what Earth Defence Force 2017 is. And it’s glorious. Seriously: You, with a gun, versus almost-infinite ants.
