Lost Planet Extreme Condition Review
Lost Planet Review
The graphics are absolutely amazing except when dealing with the human enemies. The snow pirates are crudely drawn sprites that resemble a cross between a Sand Person (from Star Wars) and an arctic expedition. The scale of monsters like the snow worms in Mission 3, or the giant moth from Mission 5 is just incredible. I've never seen this on a PC game before. I checked the specs for the Xbox 360 and PS3 only to find it was "top of the line" when they debuted. Almost any 0-0 PC setup today would have significantly more processing muscle for games, so why aren't we seeing more graphics-rich games today except for Crysis?
The controls take time to become familiar, because it was a crudely ported game from the Xbox 360 platform. When you've gotten comfortable with 1 control setup for Wayne and his VS's, you find that it no longer becomes efficient for another VS - especially the last VS that resembles a cross between a Gundam, Appleseed/Vexille suit, and something out of Soul Caliber.
The latest version of Lost Planet is automatically installed when you log onto Steam, so you get the bonus downloadable content which isn't much to write home about.
Pros: Great graphics (except for human enemies), robot suits galore, decent Akrid AI, interesting Akrid bosses, and a riveting plot.
Cons: Quirky control setup due to it being a Xbox 360 port, the mechs/VS's aren't all that great, and the human AI gets annoying at times.
Overall: 4/5

Lost Planet Extreme Condition Overview
In Lost Planet, human snow pirates navigate VS (Vital Suits) through hostile ice-covered environments, fighting against the indigenous Akrid creatures for the precious thermal energy they need to survive.

However, he can only remember a few fragments of his past including the slaying of his father by the monstrous beings. Yet under the veil of ice, a devious plot has been set into motion by NEVEC. What really happened to Wayne and how will his destiny become intertwined with NEVEC’s plans?
