So what game one really say about earth defense 2017 other than a complete waste of time. Anyone who is an "achievement hound" do not go for this game. After playing the first ten levels of this game, i thought wow this game could maybe amount to something. so i finish off level 10 and look at my percentage done, wait a second here 3% that cant be right. Now i am all for a game with lots of hours of game play but not one this repetitive. These bugs just kept coming, wave after wave after wave. So i get to this one level and i don't know if its just me or not, but after it i could have sworn the narrator had said this was the last attack on the bugs, they are defeated. So im all like "oh snap!!" but oh no, only to find that the next level they have built nests. so i play on, to destroy these nests and their queens, but wait hold the phone these un-dying bugs have kept reproducing, i don't know how with all of the kings/queens dead.

so after this little rant i have just went though... my basic point there was this game is very very repetitive with a storyline that is so far under par. the only people who i would recommend this game to..are those "under the influence" only because you can destroy these gianticsoarous buildings with one shot of a rocket launcher. Before i rented this game, silly me forgot to check the achievement list, was that ever a mistake, you have to complete, all 54 boring and repetitive missions to get only 1 stinking achievement.

The only good parts about this game are that there are a wide variety of weapons that you can choose from and you can fly a helicopter (and somehow not get hurt if you fall out all the way in the air). Other than that i cant really find any other OUTSTANDING features this game has.

so to sum it all up, this game sucks, don't buy it, don't even consider renting it either. just you know what, don't even think about it. thats only my opinion though.

  This is a good game but it is hard to write a review. It's hard to explain exactly what this games about. The game is FUN to play and hours and hours can be spent with a buddy blasting bugs and shouting out obscenitie... Read Full Review

  Old school in every sense of the word... literally. Confused by that statement? Read more inside.

  This game is the essence of old school, revived on the Xbox 360. This is a good thing, and not so much a good thing at the same time. Forgive my cryptic words, just read on to get my opinion of this game. The game its... Read Full Review
