Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon Review - Justin Fassino

[Litterboxer529]

After you complete the game, can you just like... walk around the city or is the campaign it?

[vrak24]

@VirusOfCyrus What the hell are you talking about? Have you even played this? This game is one of the best games I've played. So stop yelling holy crap

[MedalpiXel]

$15 on Steam im Gettin this masterpiece

[EarthDefenceInferno]

Epic game. Although not as good as the first one. At least they kept the great one liner:

"EAT THIS WOBOT SCUM"

Ending in this game is kinda stupid but the rest is awesome and exactly as I expected.

Also do not read bias into this comment when considering my YouTube name :P

[KoutaFG]

As far as I can tell this game is too much mindless-ness for me, I cannot understand why people would pay 20 bucks for it, I'll never understand, unless given the game for free by a friend or something but that game looks like it takes mindless shooting, to a whole new level.

[MaximilliusBonerhard]

They should make an EDF2: Electric Boogaloo.

Oh wait...

[HamborgerProduction]

SHITY GAME

[swordpalme]

@HamborgerProduction No you are the shit.

[colin8696908]

40 bucks you got jiped, on steam it's 15

[FADE2691]

@colin8696908 Its was $40 back then

[MrBdog200]

Looks like this game has

*sunglasses*

A lot of bugs

YYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

[slyhunter38]

Omaigawd,omaigawd,omigawd. I love EDF, TRULY, but.... the spiders.... they look too realistic.... FUCK IT, IM GUNNU SPLATTER SOME FUCKING BUGS AND ARACHNIDS. HELL YEAH!

[TheLoserKings]

$40!? This looks like a $15 title

[KoutaFG]

@TheLoserKings

If that, from what I've seen, I wouldn't pay more then a couple bucks for it.

[Bain0o]

@homiestf

its machinima

[SklaarSky]

The best review of this game ever! IGN only gives good reviews to CoD. What btw sucks.

[111BLACKLIGHTNING111]

This game looks good. I remember EDF 2017 and the only thing that really really ruined it for me was that the vehicles handled like they had bug juice inside the controls. Other than that it was awesomely Starship Trooper like cheesy mindless fun. It deserves somewhere between a 7 and 8.

[FearsBackNDreams]

EDF EDF EDF haha, great game guys get it now

[DakDarklighter]

I wonder if they used the soundtrack I uploaded when they were playing music from 2017.

[VirusOfCyrus]

WORST REVIEW SCORE EVER! THIS REVIEWER DOESNT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.

SERIOUSLY, WAKE UP, THIS GAME ISNT EVEN WORTH PLAYING, HOW DESPERATE DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO PLAY SOMETHING SO CHEAP, REPETITIVE AND PATHETIC, GAMES WERE BETTER ON THE NES AND SEGA MASTERSYSTEM THAN THIS CRAP.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A BAD GAME IN THIS PRESENT DAY AND AGE.

2/10

NUFF SAID.

[ilovewarships]

@VirusOfCyrus

Are you talking about call of duty?

[MrRallemulle]

@VirusOfCyrus

What are you talking about? This is a pure old school gametyle. Killing thousands of enemies with hundreds of weapons. And the enemies are giant as well. I think i will get this because it look fun.

Sure, go back to your Battlefield or CoD. Do you know the saying "If you don't like it then don't look at it"? learn it before you write something stupid again.

[TheBearlydeloved]

@MrRallemulle The total entity numbers as compared to the original are greatly reduced from what I can see.

There was easily double the amount of entities on screen in 2017.

[MrRallemulle]

@TheBearlydeloved

Indeed, but there's still a lot of enemies.

(never got to play 2017 so i do not know that game :3 )

[TheBearlydeloved]

@MrRallemulle Its absolutely nothing compared to Insect Armageddon, and what's better is they wouldn't just spawn them in front of you and call it a "challenge". You literally had huge city filled with bugs all looking for things to kill instead of no matter where you go bugs spawning ten feet in front of you.

The latter had a lot more strategy involved, and overall it was just a lot more atmosphere.

[IIIGR1Z]

I loved this game, BUT... the end was so shit

[TheRanterGuy]

Fail comment below...

[kevingrin]

Are there any air vehicles you can use?

[superfreakinawesome8]

the robots remind me of mechassault

[tank12344]

hmm...I bought crackdown 2 and was highly disappointed when the game was short ass hell however this games co op mode should fix that problem even though i still have doughts

[littlejr555]

definitely a gamefly

[dummuk]

THE MACHINIMA TSHIRT VIDEO WAS INTENSE HUTCH-EXORCISM SARK-EMO SEANANNERS- DRUG ADDICT .........REAL LIFE - GAMERS

[blackpiranaha525]

that was a totally fair raiting couldnt agree more. if you love madness and mob killing this is the best game ever

[12WaterPhoenix12]

@machinima

I noticed you said the ending was unsatisfying. I just wanted to know whether you realized there are 3 different endings when you stated that. There is one ending for beating each of the three difficulties so if you are just refferring to the first ending then I felt I should point out that it isn't the only ending.

[mic7reaper]

finally a GOOD reviewer. games are about GAMEPLAY and fun :D not graphics. i hope to see more for this guy

[Mrsupermatt2172]

@mic7reaper And story, the game may have an awesome gmeplay and beautiful graphics but I won't feel good playing it if I don't care about what I'm doing

[mic7reaper]

@Mrsupermatt2172 ya but its an arcade shooter. in my opignion its the kinda game you play when you feel like punching people in da face lol so its not a game to take seriously but you can have fun with it for sure

[TheLosersCompany]

40 $ FOR THIS SHIT?? OH NO MAN ! BETTER GO BUY A HOT DOG!

[quickdraw19ed]

if ign reivewed this, they would say it horrible just cus of graphics

[schoolinthemsoftly01]

@quickdraw19ed They gave it a 7.5 outta 10 and said it was awesome....lol

[nukeclears]

@quickdraw19ed they did review it and they gave it a 7.5 the only con was performance issues

[ubertuber3d]

@quickdraw19ed They did review it, and they complained less about graphical quality than this guy, BURN IN HELL HIPSTER.

[JazzMcGuyver]

whats the dubstep song for the respawn shirt commercial?

[sergeantconker]

@JazzMcGuyver Noisestorm - Survival

[Jehuty989]

looks fun.. maybe ill pick it up

[bilyisbored92]

Great T-shirt commercial

[ReverseReactor]

Why does the commentator say that the game is not looking for a more advanced plot if "barebones plot" is marked as a con?

[TheNinjaLettuce]

amazing sequel to one of the best games ever.

[daveman247]

This is a gamers game :)

Not a graphics ho's

[Giddo11]

If it's not on the xbox I won't be able to get it :(

[daveman247]

@Giddo11 If you mean the 360 then yes it is.

[tman4005]

this is an amazing game to play if you just had a bad day. level a few buildings, blow up an ant or two, and you'll fell pretty damn awesome!

[Litterboxer529]

I'm gonna go pick this game up soon. I pre-ordered it. Looks badass >:D

[steelshinobimaid]

Yay for honest reviews :D I wish some game magazine have honesty on reviewing a like duke nukem

[Rinaldimanc]

I really love how machinima Review games

They're not critics

they're gamers and they don't only look at the badside of the game.

[Litterboxer529]

@Rinaldimanc So true. 

[karmachargerman]

Wait so I entered the death from above code before putting in the disc and actually playing it. Did the code I entered prior to putting in the disc work?

[joey3491]

Seems more like a downloadable title than a real retail game. But it still looks like fun, and thats what matters

[SwordSaint32]

EDF! EDF! EDF! 

[thatguyunknoe]

so lost planet and terminator had an abortion and came out to be Einstein and Jesus reincarnated, and slayed babyhitler? COUNT ME IN!!!

[RivalNitestrike]

@thatguyunknoe Hey... Lost Planet 2 was my summer.

[evilmajikman]

@RivalNitestrike but in some areas, this is better than Lost Planet 2. Mainly the fact that you don't have to shoot people in EDF.

[darkicon6667]

"this game is only 40 bucks so you dont have an excuse to not buy this game"

only 40?! 40 dollars still seems like a lot of money for a game you'll probably get over playing even with friends in a week

[DiabeticChicken]

Simplisitc... tut tut

[AZNFTW197]

The first game wasn't very well known, but i kinda found it more fun.

[0wheat0]

anyone know what the name of the song during the custom shirt ad was? sounded similar to Skrillex style but idk for sure

[Omniscientus]

This game has a lot of bugs, don't buy it.

[timsons7777]

@Omniscientus hehe i loled.

[Nintendoman15]

@Omniscientus Well then again it is a budget game.. I picked this up for 35 dollars.

[TheLeoOfCostaRica]

@Nintendoman15

Didn't get the joke there, chap.

[Omniscientus]

@Nintendoman15 It was a pun. Since there a lot of bugs in the game as the enemy. I linked it to how some games have bugs that render the game unplayable. Did you get it?

[JSJ07]

@Nintendoman15 It was a joke

[mrpotatohead34]

@Omniscientus haha :)

[slyhunter38]

@Omniscientus I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR.

[swordpalme]

@Omniscientus Bugs = Insects lol.

[blaxof]

DAMN IT WHO MIXED UP THE RAID WITH STEROIDS AGAIN....DAMN IT ALL

[zachomen99]

This game has a lot of bugs

[iMinecrafting]

The highest rated comment is a faggot.

[TheLordKacj]

@iMinecrafting yes you are

[iMinecrafting]

@TheLordKacj lolumad

[9DarkSoul6]

fun =/= addictive.

It takes no effort to make an addictive game, all it takes is having a tremedous lack respect for your users/costumers by numbing them and turning them into stats/loot-(xp, money, skills, gear etc.)-slaves - ex: farmville

[daveman247]

@9DarkSoul6 gamers don't play farmville. And some people find grinding fun :/

This game has the plus of killing lots and lots of things thouh so :)

[9DarkSoul6]

@daveman247 persond who plays videogames {=} gamer farmville =} videgame persond who plays farmville =} gamer ... persons play farmville {=} gamers play farmville ... Persons DO play farmville so, gamers play farmville ... Very sad, but true.

[TheStarchProductions]

I wonder what song they used at the end for the Machinima Respawn T-Shirt Ad.

[dwarfshuffle]

this game does have some bugs, but thankfully very few glitches :)

[LEGO171]

1:19 Put the captions on Transcribe audio and it says:To be trying to get his shoe robots in the face that makes big boobs :P

[ozzyyermom]

I thought 8/10 would be pushing it

[Darkinferno50]

I was going to get this game but then i saw the daddy long legs and i was like screw that.

[shadowcrawler687]

@Darkinferno50 Its only robotic so i dont mind

[thegreatgoodness]

@sckapunch its an xbox and ps3 exclusive

[MrWizzX]

Only 40 bucks?

[delpiero07]

i thought the earth defense force works with ultraman?

[daveman247]

@delpiero07 they worked with duke nukem too, they get around it seems...

[gustyvedova]

i'm disapointed about this game. too short, too little variation. it feels incomplete.

[semorerox]

lol at 5:10 they spelt simplistict wrong.

[ev1lm0nk3y64]

@semorerox and you spelled spelt wrong

[semorerox]

@ev1lm0nk3y64 lol w/e spelled.

[MrSiggy125]

better than blops.

[Draknar95]

15 Missions? Sad face

[TheRanterGuy]

This game has online coop, Splitscreen Coop and 6 player online or splitscreen survival mode...

[MegaShanked]

8.5 are you fucked

[BlazeTheLeopardGecko]

Aha and Red faction boasted about destruction , This is much better

[Dinobot2468]

whens it out in the UK???

[Draknar95]

anytime from the 15-29 of June the release date has changed twice this weak so. But if you didn't pre-order it your screwed as its only for pre-order or trade in places well there not selling it to any companies in the UK Yet

[rene11717]

EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF AHHHHHHHHHHH RAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IntegratedTree]

I would buy it if it was 10 bucks. :P

[xxxSHAWN2008xxx]

this game shows that gameplay is better than graphics

[MrKabutoYakushi]

I will kill the fucking spiders... BECAUSE I HATE THE SPIDERS

[TheAusbur]

holy fuck edf 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sckapunch]

Earth defense force on steam? cause i cant seem to find it!

[pippo17173]

A game can work that way.

[bfmvftwtriviumftw]

i had the original it was fun

[kalmidor44]

Metric ton of stupid fun.

I think i'll go and get the game

[KillForACause]

Earth Defense Force 2017 was amazing too :D

[bakes789]

Justin Fassino sounds a lot like Motherfucker Mike

[LTlazy1]

i love how the EDF are in duke nukem

[NoScopeGamerz1]

I will never look at an ant the same way again.

[Kuti210]

@machinima VERY GOOD REVIEWS. Keep it real!

[miguizo]

First one was better.

[blacktouch007]

how can you not love this game?

[FlopnosePimp]

This is a joke right? If it is, right on, shit game. If it's not and your serious, then you must've been recording something else, cos what we saw was one of the worst games in the known universe. The phrase 'different strokes for different folks' can only explain away so much pal.

[RivalNitestrike]

@FlopnosePimp Some games don't aim to be big, this game is a parody of all these serious games that delivers you a fun experience that is highly replayable with friends. And then it gets meh ratings because of the lack of story or graphical quality or sound quality, but it delivers a relatively glitch free, insanely fun experience. Lost Planet 2 (A similar game, cept better quality) has kept me coming back for over 100 hours.

[adwszx]

@FlopnosePimp you clearly haven't played 1 sequel of this game i played the 2nd one for ps2 and i fell in love with this game its ridiculous fun and very addictive u should really try it first before judging it

[123veso]

on which consoles is this out?

[zach23250]

this game is only £25 On release! what a bargain...Going to get it i think

[edgiz99]

looks so shit and repetitive no-existant ai makes games not fun for me so wont be pickin up this cheap pile of shit for the same price as other much better done games

[TheStormPow]

I honestly hadn't even heard of this game until now, but I gotta say that it looks really fun.

[ub3rb1ng0]

COOP Splitscreen???

[zach23250]

@ub3rb1ng0 Yep

[DUSTINPECSON]

this game needs weapons that HACK AND SLASH!!! \m/

[DrNSoos]

Two best friends play..... :D

[theredeemedshow]

you know what this game needs? more insects

[TwinZiEx]

@theredeemedshow and no "powers"

[gtafan110010]

@theredeemedshow you're right, since a lot of spiders are in there and they aren't insects

[IWatchStuff3]

@theredeemedshow You know what this game needs ? Boobs and more robots

[xxStealthTacoxx]

@IWatchStuff3 They tried that. Duke nukem didn't do so well

[IWatchStuff3]

@xxStealthTacoxx :(

[pxndxleo77]

@theredeemedshow no its needs more sand

[sweden20000]

@theredeemedshow ffs.....

[obsidiandeatheater]

Well, the level of destructibility and the level of near pointless chaos compensates for the moderately crappy graphics... Think "Why am I bitching about this game's graphics when the situation is completely goofy and rather comical?", answer that question for yourself. At that point, if you find a reason to bitch, then it will be legitimate. I'm thinking the game is intentionally more cartoon-like than anything, don't you?

[ShadowKiller244]

@obsidiandeatheater Grapichs dont make the game

[obsidiandeatheater]

@ShadowKiller244 That's what I was trying to convey. There is so much more stuff such as: Destructibility, massive action, humor, pointless comicality, it's overall fun.

[theredeemedshow]

EDF unite =D

[omgitsmeagain13]

the ending is fuckin awesome

[FXIX]

So... should I get the 2017 or Insect Armageddon?

[ihazaface]

@FXIX Both

[FXIX]

@ihazaface there is no reason to get the same game twice; just consider I can only afford one

[ihazaface]

@FXIX They are both fun, but I would probably get Insect Armageddon because it has a little more polish. I would say rent 2017, if you can, and buy Insect Armageddon.

[thegreatgoodness]

earth defense force is a pretty cool guy, he kills giant bugs and robot and doesnt afraid of anything

[waffleleg]

EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF!

[propanda241]

i wish the graphics wouldnt be so bad i think the coul do better on the scenery but its an okay game

[penisusuck95]

post the end songs name please it would be much appreciated :)

[ThePossumReport]

i would get this game but...it has HUGE FUCKING GIANT SPIDERS D:

[TheBrizendine]

Needed more varied levels like 2017, more levels like 2017, and the way weapons were dropped in 2017 was more fun. This needed to be made by the same company as 2017. And fuck the story no one pays attention to edf stories cause they suck.

[SNDVeteran]

lol funny like

[radaja2003]

I like this review.He told me it is fun.I am getting it and I WILL have fun

[radaja2003]

this comment will be very old in the near future.....I just made a comment sound cool.

[FrostBeatle]

I hate it when my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

[chestertimothy]

could this play in split sreen?if not im not gunna buy this game :/

[reddragon6288]

@chestertimothy

Yes this game has coop split screen. They first announced it without the capability, but after a mass amount of feedback from upset fans, they added it back into the game.

[yugiohbros115]

@chestertimothy  it is splitscreen

[urs4ever86]

cocaine+blood+dark magic= Mechinima Respawn?

[Bondytheecliff]

should have been a downloadable game

[r34]

5:54 Hutch's black magic + Sark's blood + SeaNanners' cocaine addiction = Machinima T-shirts. F'ing brutal!
