Its not worth 40 or 20 dollars. I'd say its a 10 dollar game.
If its not the horrible animation its the gunships that spend more time getting stuck under bridges and hitting the ground. Or maybe its the fact that missions are fuck boring, or that most of the weapons early on are the same. NO I am not going to play through a bad first part to get to a passable last part.
I played through Bullet Witch so I CAN tolerate mediocrity, but EDF 2040 went straight back to the store.
