Earth Defense Force spin-off games have been hit or miss. EDF: Insect Armageddon wasn’t much of a game, and EDF: Iron Rain was too tough for its own good. EDF: World Brothers, however, struck the right balance between new ideas and classic EDF gameplay – not to mention adding the fun of crossover characters and enemies from EDFs past. Three years later, Yuke’s and D3Publisher have delivered a sequel in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. The new game is much bigger than its predecessor, but bigger isn’t always better.
