An in-depth review of the game that started it all (in North America that is) Earth Defense Force 2017. If you're interested in the series, I'd recommend trying Earth Defense Force 4.1 or 5 first and see if you like it. Finding an Xbox 360 copy of EDF 2017 isn't too difficult, but it's objectively inferior to the others I mentioned.
