So, Earth Defense Force 2017 (360, PSV) looks amazing

Is EDF3 related to 'Global Defence Force' that was just released on ps2 pal?

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

considering how closely the guy on the front matches the guy on EDF 2017, I'd say yes.

Couldn't you play as a chick in one of these? Could of sworn I saw a video that had a girl instead of a guy.

Mobile Light Force?

alright, I'll buy it then. Some review read 'best run'n'gun on ps2' - which hooked me. It's out on budget (9 uk pounds) on amazon.co.uk

Global Defense Force = EDF2.

Yeah, EDF2 and maybe EDF. She has a totally different weapon set and can fly. I was bummed that she was taken out of the 360 game, as I never got around to replaying EDF2 with her.

Just beat it on Hard, with several levels done on Hardest and even a few Inferno. 2000HP and 131 weapons, and I'm considering a full Hardest run-through in a few days. Sucks that, if I want 100% of all weapons, I've not only got to beat Easy but Inferno as well. Seriously, who plays on Easy?

You won't last with that energy. I have 2700 energy and 126 weapons, and some missions on hardest still just overwhelm me (hello spider gang bang!).

You don't have to do a complete run through of all difficulties to get all the weapons. The walk through I linked to above has a great chart that tells you the best missions for each weapon on each difficulty, and you can just keep doing those particular missions to get the last few you need. It's a great way to grind for armor too, in case you decide to go for inferno.

I'm down to about 10 missions are so on Hardest, and I'm getting convinced they're impossible without max health. The swarm of bugs just can't be stopped by anything. I've tried grenades, shotguns, missiles, rockets, turrents, bombs, claymores, etc. It just doesn't work. I don't even want to comprehend what trying to take down the Mothership on Hardest or (god forbid) Inferno is going to be like.
