[quote name='strait edge follower']No one was talking about this game untill yesturday. it seems overrated by many but it does seem like one of those titles that catch you off guard. Ill Give it a fair chance at some point[/QUOTE]
I was. My post #200 in the Amazon Lightning deal thread:
Everybody buy EDF:IA. We got crazy firepower! AAAAaaaaaaaa!
It's already part of the buy 1 get 1 40% off sale (PS3 version only).
Those who played EDF 2017 were all over this game. It's not a deep or meaningful story and it's not hyper-twitch reflex shooting. The graphics are not bad, but not mind-blowing. Hell, the framerate even drops sometimes from all the stuff exploding on screen. It's just big dumb fun. Shoot up hordes of giant ants, blow up towering robots, and bring down giant UFOs. The only thing missing from 2017 was online co-op, and insect armageddon added 3-player online co-op.
You have four different characters to level up, like borderlands, which adds replay value, and there are a total of 107 weapons to collect. The game is set at a budget price of $40, just like 2017 was when it came out, and last night's $20 was a steal. It's a perfect time-filler for those of you burnt out on black ops and waiting for gears 3 or battlefield 3 or mw3.
