Look at All the Bugs You'll Kill in Earth Defense Force 2

Jason Love

Like any of the other Earth Defense Force titles, you're tasked with saving the Earth from the giant aliens - who just so happen to look like spiders and ants. Interestingly, the game has more in common with the most recent title, Earth Defense Force 2025, than the first title we got in the U.S., Earth Defense Force 2017, as you will be able to choose from one of three different classes. There's the standard "Infantryman," the aerial "Pale Wing" complete with jet pack, and (all new) the "Air Raider" that can place trip mines and sentry turrets.

Earth Defense Force 2 Getting an Enhanced North American Vita Release

John Bardinelli

Cited as a fan favorite, the North American version of Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space (you read that correctly) was originally released in Europe and Japan for the PlayStation 2 and PSP. Invaders is being called the "definitive version" and carries a number of improvements over its predecessors, including four player online co-op, a new Air Raider class, and updated English subtitles. You know, to get rid of all that British slang and whatnot.
