Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.



This is the poo poo.

Space War Attack recreates a monster invasion movie, like those recent EDF games in which you can summon an air strike, but this time you are the air strike.



The EDF wiki tells me the Japanese title was a reference to a sick-looking '60s sci-fi film.



You don't go to the Moon in the game, but you get goofy GIANT IN-N-NSECTS and other invertebrates laying waste to the Earth, and you pit the planet's best weapons against them: missiles, lasers, and a bomb with a remote detonator.

You fly off-brand copies of multiple real planes blended together.

You've got a production so cheap they had to choose between having an intro or an outro cutscene in it, but at the same time it was made by a company with experience in the genre.

You've got a translation so bad it becomes poetic.

You are aimed from behind:

505 Games, taking the cast off from everyone else. Although they did handle the publishing for Arma 1 so I can't mock them too much.

Also that is certainly a video description. :stare:
The same goes for the game.

I just noticed that your planes are two seaters. Every time you crash into that spinning ring for TV you kill a back-seat guy as well.

I didn't realise they had a significant DS catalogue, though I guess the interest in localising any of them had dropped off pretty hard by then.

You fired until there's nothing left
You hit the end, it'll just reload again

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
