Purely fun-oriented alien wave shooter that uses spectacle and scale to make up for what it lacks in depth.
+ endearingly stupid dialogue with iconic voice acting (special shoutout to all the incompetent army command transmissions)
+ constant escalating battles giving a rather authentic war impression
+ excellent mindless multiplayer experience
+ hundreds of distinct and powerful weapons
+ fittingly grand soundtrack
- barely passable graphics
- pathetic mobility for three out of four classes
- no progression sync between local and online modes
- no weapon drops for other classes preventing spontaneous switching
- significant mission bloat with repetitive enemies and forgettable objectives

this game sets out to do its thing (big fuck ass waves of big fuck ass enemies vs a couple of wife guys/gals with guns) and does it so well, genuinely incredible fun, moments of genuine "what the actual fuck" all over the place, and it sometimes actually made me feel the dread of the absolutely awful situation this game actually is about lmao
so glad i finally was able to play it after almost 10 years of wishing to do so (i unfortunately didnt play it online at all)

Best multiplayer game I've ever played
Lots of fun, sometimes you wanna just shoot big bugs with big guns. The dialogue carries this game so hard
Lo descubrí de casualidad y me enganchó mucho. Es como una peli de Kaijus pero a lo bruto, matar hormigas, arañas y ranas gigantes (y armadas hasta los dientes) es muy satisfactorio, y tiene momentos muy épicos.
