It's just non-stop madness that can force you to really think on your feet and challenge yourself if you wish.
The additions and changes from EDF 2025 are very welcome, using AI partners can be very viable to help out when playing solo or split screen. They aren't too terribly dumb either! On some missions and on higher difficulties, the AI can be strong enough to beat the Ravagers all on their own almost in some missions!
The framerate, while a big improvement is still highly disappointing. Probably because of the CPU is my guess. The PS3/360 game ran at 30FPS at best, but spent most of it's time in the 20s range and often lower in the teens when things got really hectic. Especially in split screen.
Most of the time EDF4.1 on PS4, runs between 30-50FPS or so. 60FPS is rare, so there is constant screen tearing. In some instances, it drops down to 30 or below for extended periods. Mostly when there are lots of explosions and buildings coming down.
(FWIW, a first generation i7 950 @4Ghz with a GTX 980 even slows down when too many buildings are coming down.)
The visuals are nicely upgraded, the textures look very nice. But there is no Anti Aliasing. And EDF has a LOT of aliasing. It doesn't make the game less fun. Just less visually well rounded. It certainly wins a lot of points for one thing.
SCALE: I dont' think any other game has such well designed scale to the environments. You can be on the ground and everything is huge. On top of a building and everything looks correctly proprotioned and small. Go between a 50m tall robot and being on the ground in the same mission and see how incredible the sense of scale is. If there is any game, i'd want to play in VR in 3rd person. It's EDF, it would look incredible!
If you really want a mostly solid 60FPS. Get the PC version. It runs extremely well though not without some of it's own problems. But it's mostly good. And has free region free online play.
The game mission design and game flow around it really need some work and often hold it back from being the best it could be. Hopefully EDF5 solves that.
EDF 4.1 is a mission based game, you do 1 mention at a time. Choose between 1 of 5 difficulties, and 1 of 4 characters (soldier, mechanical winged woman, Heavy Armored Tank-ish guy, and another soldier type that calls in air attacks and tanks instead of using the weapons the standard soldier uses.) The story is about "Aliens" sort of teaming up or working together with giant insects, to take over or destroy the Earth. Of course!
There are 70 or so missions. Each in varying locations, such as giant cities, beaches, underground tunnels, empty desert lands, allover the place. During missions you have a giant open world map to run around blowing up everything while trying to destory the aliens and insects. You will work with CPU controlled military, that you can somewhat control, by pointing them towards a target you want them to focus on. As you kill enemies you will receive health, weapons, or armor. To level your character as you play the game.
The gameplay and graphics are not amazing. They aren't bad either, but the story and commentary from fellow soldiers is hilarious and unlike any thing else. It is a 3rd person action shooter, with tons of absurd weapons, lots of laser guns and RPG type of weapons.
1 of the best features is multiplayer, you can play split screen with a friend, or online with 3 friends. As you play through the story to build up your arsenal of weapons and armor.
It isn't a bad game, but just make sure you understand what you are buying, before you purchase it. Good luck soldier!
This game rocks. It supports 4 MP and 2 Co-op. I played Solo.
There are many missions, and you can go back and do any mission you want to. It is also possible to select any difficulty setting for any mission.
Graphics are great and sound is also. The English voice actors were good I thought.
As you play through the missions, the war rages and you get updates on other parts of the battle.
Having the right weapon set is important. I played a Ranger all the way through, and always carried a rifle. Other weapons I liked were rockets and sniper guns. I tried the shotguns, grenade launchers, special weapons and missiles. There are tons of weapons to find in the game.
Defeated enemies drop armor for health upgrades, weapon boxes that have new weapons in them and health boxes (2 sizes). I discovered that health boxes can heal your team even if your soldier is fully healed.
When you fight a battle, there are usually other EDF personnel that will support you. Some of the battles were huge! Tanks and artillery guns support.
Most of the flying enemies are easy to hit. And the bugs are fun to fight. There are many missions until the end.
EDF 4.1 is a really good game.

Llego en perfecto estado.
Hier sei gesagt, wer eine packende und super Story erwartet ist hier falsch.
Das Spiel dreht sich einzig und allein um die Verteidigung der Erde gegen Außerirdische mit ihren Riesen Insekten/Robotern/Monstern und Raumschiffen.
Kurzer Aufbau: es gibt 4 Klassen die alle durchweg unterschiedliche Aufgaben bzw. Spielweise haben.
Glaube ich 90 Missionen welche auf 5 Schwierigkeiten gespielt werden koennen(von "geht ja wie von allein" bis hin zu "alter ich hab kein Bock mehr, dauernd an der ersten Gegner Welle zu sterben ist scheiße").
Hierbei sei gesagt wer im Team spielt und dan noch mit Taktik, der hat auch relativ gute Chancen "Inferno" zu überstehen.
Es gibt so viel was ich über dieses Spiel schreiben könnte, wie viele Fahrzeuge/Waffen/Luftangriffe es gibt...... Wie viele Gegner Typen es gibt......
Es ist einfach groß. Und eines der besten Spiele meiner Meinung nach.
