“Earth Defense Force” has a B-movie quality to it that grew on me with time. It might look terrible from a technical and artistic qualify, but behind what it lacks in budget is a lot of heart. It’s not the most intuitive or best feeling game, but there is some charm to the goofy nature of everything in the game. Even the act of running and gunning has a tongue in cheek aspect with how the model is so stiff. As a single player experience it does get monotonous and even boring. Especially with have absurdly long the game is for the type of Arcady action it offers. This feels more like a great couch co-op with some buddies, beers and everyone talking over the game. If that’s your setting, this might fit the bill.
