Gamer Attitude's Luke Wrightson reviews the latest Earth Defence Force game. Is it worth booting up your old console for this third person shooter?
Do you remember the days when arcade games like Sega’s Virtua Fighter 3, Sega Bass Fishing, and Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram were the pinnacle of arcade game graphics?
From the review, "For the uninitiated, it won’t take long to discover that Earth Defense Force 2025 is not a game that takes itself too seriously. The story won’t go far towards substantiating games as a powerful medium for storytelling, nor does it seek to. If the story does anything, at all, it establishes some context for the fun that unravels in the game’s fully destructible landscapes, and lends a history to the nigh endless horde.
Players take control of one of four elite classes in the employ of a world funded organization charged with protecting the Earth from extraterrestrial threats."

Read on as Michael LeParc of Gametactics reviews Earth Defense Force 2025 for the Xbox 360.
