Playing Earth Defense Force 2025 made me think of watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. The movies on that show were bad in so many ways – script, acting, visuals and special effects. But somehow that one element – the silly, uproarious commentary made by the smartass fellas – made it enjoyable to sit on your couch and watch a movie with extremely low production values. Earth Defense Force 2025 has spectacularly bad graphics, a script full of mindless dialogue and totally dreadful voice acting. But that one quality component it does have, good third-person shooting gameplay, can let you overlook the lesser attributes everywhere else and have an unexpectedly entertaining time.

One of the longest-running mech-starring franchises is Armored Core, just released in its fifth installment. And while it may be getting older, Armored Core certainly hasn’t gotten better, and is definitely is showing its age.
