Great arcade gameplay but lacks in a few areas

Earth Defense Force 2017 is basically a Japanese arcarde game for the Xbox 360. The plot is terrible so I'll leave it at that. The voice acting is pretty bad but I guess it fits in with the random events that occur throughout the game. The bad voice acting is actually good for the game because it makes a random situation more amusing and fun. I mean the ants can climb buildings just as fast as they walk on the ground. It's somewhat unrealistic that they climb buildings REALLY fast. Saying that, the ants create one of the best video game moments in the history of video games. In the first level your screen will litterally fill up with over 80 massive ants swarming at you and screaming in union. You will have a gamespot "Oh Snap" moment trust me. You can also destroy any building in the city you want, just by firing one rocket at it. Any kind of rocket from any rocket launcher will do the trick. It's fun at first but it gets a little annoying at times. For example you miss and hit a building, then about 30 ants are now in your view and spew acid all over you. This game is pretty fun to play with another person. Other then that the replay value is moderate due to the lack of other things to accomplish besdies the achievements.
