    All things considered, the game gives no reason to keep playing even after 30 levels and 5 hours. The thought of trudging through another 30 levels made me feel there were better games to play and to give up with this title. The loot feels completely redundant as weapons have no weight to them, the vehicles are crap and feel completely redundant on any of the few maps they appear.

I've read some of the other reviews and other people must have been playing a different game as there are PS1 games on my vita provide a more rewarding feeling than this.… Expand

    Everything about EDF 2017 is a slog. Graphically atrocious and sonically awful, low-res buildings comically disappear after being grazed by heavy weaponry. While the bugs and bots twitch and spasm around their own character models, the bipedal robots are the worst offenders here, often getting caught up in their own limbs. [March 2013, p79]

    Unpretentious in the extreme, comical by accident, irritating when it wants to be. [Issue#229, p.80]

    It’s far from a perfect game, but it is extremely entertaining and Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable is proof that the joy of playing a game is far more important than graphics and physics. If the developers had put just a little more time in fixing some of the bugs and the presentation it would have been an instant classic.
