this game is really fun. just played through on normal, took about 10 hrs. gonna try again on a harder difficulty. definitely going to be an overlooked gem. i love the sci-fi giant creature b movie setup. despite appearances, this is definitely one not to knock until you try it

Some of the new weapons are really cool, like the sentry gun and the box of explosive ball bearings. The game also looks incredibly good when there's hoardes of enemies and explosions all over the place. Shame that jumping is so gimped. I swear your allies can jump higher.

Best thing is when you are fighting a bunch of those giant walking robots, you destroy one, there's this HUGE firey-red explosion, and you can see the next giant robot walking in through the fire. Really great 60's B-movie sci-fi atmosphere.

I had the greatest moment fighting one of those giant robots. I was standing right in front of him and he lowered the two barrels of his plasma cannons right in my face... and by face I mean body, since the barrels of the cannons were taller than I was. Probably goes without saying that I didn't manage to dodge that particular shot.

As I got to that part of the post, I thought it would end with "and I shot a rocket right in his face and he came tumbling down in front of me."

Some of my favorite moments have been against the robots, too. Taking one down with him almost on top of me, the explosion masking the entire battlefield, and only being able to tell where the enemy is by the firepower coming through the wall of flame as I shoot back madly. The bass rumbling through the speakers and the screen shaking while radio chatter goes on in the background made for an incredibly immersive chunk of gaming.

I beat this on Normal today. It was quite an awesome experience. The game kept piling on the enemies, and just when I thought I was done for, I shoot my way out of it, only to see my radar flooded with red dots again. I think the craziest moment for me was the level where the lord bugs and lord spiders came out. The lord winged ant on top of the skyscraper was almost a symbol for the end of the world.

How nice.
I swung by EBgames earlier to check on the status of Metal Slug Anthology PS2(this week? no way) and all of the copies of EDF3 were sold out.

Course there were only two available but eh. Nice to know people are buying it.

Fun game, co-op is a blast. Too bad there isn't any form of XBL play. 4+ player co-op would rock.

Lol, that was indeed pretty cool. I pelted his ass with Goliath missiles from the starting point.

I'm going to go stage by stage now, doing each one on easy and then hard. I should have enough health and weapons to get through it all easy enough.
