    As with the original, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is a simplified and cutesy take on the whole EDF think. While it succeeds in that goal, it loses a lot of the allure as it does so.

    Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is a fun game, but not enough to overlook both its game design flaws and the fact that it has no real reason to exist. Its poorly written dialogue, non-existent story, and characters with endlessly repeated lines often put a spoke in the wheels of the otherwise fun gameplay based on bugs, robots, and other giant enemies to kill. The experience, however, is in no way different from that of the previous chapter and seems designed only for die-hard fans of Earth Defense Force since it adds very little beyond a few new enemies and the characters from the sixth chapter. Those who do not know or appreciate the series, then, are surrounded by video games that offer the same type of entertainment at a low level of difficulty but with much greater longevity and depth. Only the most devoted fans of the series will know how to have fun in the company of this game because it is designed almost exclusively for them.
