Saw some videos of this a while back and it looked great.

But the reviews aren't that great are they?

Will probably pick it up second hand if it makes the UK or is multiregion.

I think this is Yaks type of game. Its totally wacky.
Apparently Edge gave it a 6 and Famitsu 30 out 40.

And I found this one (64%):

I'm all over it, EDF comes out in the US next week and I can't wait. Remember what score Edge gave Excite Truck? I'm thinking this is more of the same, but I'll know for sure soon.

I have a hard time trusting the opinion of anyone who writes that badly. Plus I like mindless arcade shooters, which is exactly what I'm expecting and hoping for from EDF.

After an hour's play tonight, I give it a score of 1 bazillion. :D

I'll write more when I'm a little less behind deadline on other things. But anyone who like shooting anything- Go Buy Now! :D

I just looked at the release date and now understand why this thread is so dead- EDF doesn't hit until the end of the month. It's seven shades of godly for anyone who's ever liked a bit of run & gun, in case I haven't been clear on that point yet. :)

All the reviews I've seen sound make it sound right up my street.

Everybody seems to wants to pan it, but can't because it's too much fun to play, from what I gather. The reviews generally pick holes in it left, right and centre, give it a fairly average mark, and then say "but it's ace, so at least bloody well try it".

Very probably exactly my kind of game. :D
