Mechs, giant spiders and dragons duke it out in these Earth Defence Force 2025 screens

Sandlot has issued a ton of screenshots of Earth Defense Force 2025, depicting the third-person shooter in action, and focusing on enemies such as giant spiders and dragons that players will have to contend with in this console title. From the images it appears that players will have to battle with several of these enemies at the same time, which should make for some fast-paced challenging combat.

The Earth Defense Force was established after it became known that alien contact was imminent, and as expected, these news species were hostile and bent upon destruction. D3 Publisher has currently scheduled the release of Earth Defense Force 2025 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on 4 July in Japan; unfortunately the rest of the world will have to wait until 4 February before they can get their mitts on the game.
