Earth Defense Force Game Sample - SNES/SFC
Original Air Date: April 12th, 2009
Earth Defense Force (or Super Earth Defense Force / Super E.D.F.: Earth Defense Force) is a very good horizontal scrolling shooter for the SNES, and a fine game to have in general. It doesn't do anything particularly different from the masses of prior shooters, but what is done is done pretty well.
You can choose one weapon from a nice list before each level that you will take with you into battle. Each weapon functions in a straightforward manner and killing enemies in this game doesn't just net you points, it builds your level, which in turn makes your weapons more powerful, adding an extra incentive to being skilled at the game. The visuals are actually very good and the attention to detail with certain aspects with the game is impressive. It's old-school goodness. Enjoy.
