    I've been reading a couple of reviews for this and it looks absolutely savage in the worst/best way possible. Has anyone here played it and if so, is it any good and is there anywhere I can buy it here?

    "They did not come in peace... They came in a motheship... They'll be going home... in a bodybag"

    You'd buy it just for the corny quotes!

    You can pick it up in Gamestop, it's a pretty cheap title as well, around the €30 mark.
    You get big explosions, ropey dialog and thousands of giant alien robots, saucers and insects dying en mass, I reckon your character does more damage than the invaders do!

    On the negative side the gameplay is pretty simple, and the graphics a bit simple, animation wooden.

    But it is the only thing like it on the 360, the PS2 has a hard to find version as well, so if you come across it, buy it!

    Spotted this on eurogamer's top 50 of the year
    Fairly cheap on softuk and game.co.uk, so I might just have to grab a copy for myself...

    It's really cheap, tacky, feels really low budget, looks atrocious, terrible animation and the script was translated by a 3 year old.

    It is however an absolute blast to play and one of the best co-op games going.

    EDF! EDF! EDF!

    For the price it goes for it's an absolute steal. I'd really like to see what sandalot could do if some one like capcom was brave enough to give them a budget.

    It gets insanely repetitive, but in short bursts one of the most hilariously OTT games available. Like a Z Movie in game form, complete with ****ty effects, dialogue and so on. I mean all this in the nicest possible way though. So much fun blasting the hell out of those damn ants.

    Just don't play it for anymore than an hour at a time :)
