not as good as edf 4 because it doesnt have my favorite rocket launcher from that game. i also miss hectors exploding and kind of prefer it to the gore of this game. still. it is good. the roly polys can suck my balls though jesus christ
It's essentially elevated shovelware, taking a dumb concept with a low budget but making it a very fun experience. The voice acting is funny and kept me consistently entertained, and the scale and absurdity of what's happening on screen was great. It's certainly too long, with a fair share of fluff missions. It can feel like the game is spinning it's wheels at a certain point, but it's worth pushing through to see just how far the game can push it's nonsense (especially with friends.)
Realistically EDF5's a 7. But I wanna give it an 8 so it gets an 8.

A really stupid and fun game to play with friends. My migraines will never be the same again after bearing witness to the sheer amount screen shake some of the levels in this game exposes me to.
You're good!
A perfect example of how games don't need good graphics to be good games.
It's almost exactly like EDF 3 & 4 with barely anything new other than the fact It's better optimized and runs better. And i'm not complaining, it has everything you'd expect from an EDF game. One big problem I have with these games is that there are never enough players and it's very difficult to find people to do the mission you need. Many of them are too difficult to do alone. Cross platform play and ability to join game in progress would help very much, but it's an EDF game and we can't have nice things like that. I think i'm skipping EDF 6.
