Oh god, this was such a terrible budget game on the 360/PS3... yet for reasons that utterly escape me; it's got a cult following/fandom. It's... wow.

It looks very dated but I'm having a lot of fun with the game, really enjoyed it but it has visuals from like ten years or so ago with only certain parts looking somewhat more recent (Very sparse use of shaders and specular maps and normal maps.)

Pretty hectic too and everything can get destroyed.

EDIT: Sort-of what like Sabin mentions above, it's kinda hard to understand but the game simply feels fun. Smile
(Even if it's very basic.)

EDIT: Probably at it's best in co-op though, sort-of made for it but can be soloed although you probably want the AI squads enabled if doing that.

Unsure what to compare the game to, Dynasty Warriors feels fairly accurate (Especially the more futuristic Gundam themed versions.) but also the older Starship Trooper games maybe?
(Lost Planet is a bit more stylized.)


EDIT: Maybe it's just because I dislike insects.
(I like more normal animals though, no matter if it's tits or eggs or live birth.)

It's not worth downloading anyway, for those still hesitant, here's a quick look from GiantBomb (360 version)

Personally, I had a blast playing at least 15 missions in a row. Sure, the first few levels are not that great, but once it gets rolling, it really starts to become fun. More weapons, more enemy types, huge bosses, etc. Must be awesome in coop.

If this is the worst of the series, then the others must have been GOTY materials.
