What a great game.

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 28, 2007

Pros: graphics, control, storyline

Cons: highlighting enemy weak points

This game delivered tons of fun and an exciting story. The only real flaw with the game was the glowing weak points of all of the creatures. It kind of took away the achievement feeling of blowing away the big boys. The scale of the game feels epic and the multiplayer is comparable to Halo 2. I highly recommend this game.

Wow

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 26, 2007

Pros: Intense gaming experience

Cons: Needs a really good graphics card to work properly

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition makes shooting giant bugs every bit as fun as it should be, and even though it ends too quickly, you'll have a blast while it lasts. www.shoppingcentre.net

Lost Planet - Good game but falls short of great

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 5, 2007 | 2 out of 2 found this Lost Planet: Extreme Condition review helpful

Pros: Excellent graphics and sound. Sometimes scenery is drop-dead gorgeous

Cons: Some control issues. A bit confusing. "Hard" difficulty is insanely difficult. Weak story.

Since LOST PLANET: EXTREME CONDITION was published by a Japanese company (CAPCOM) I was able to obtain this game well before any one in the states was, and I have thoroughly played this game. I played the game in full English mode since the new XBOX supports many languages.

LOST PLANET is sci-fi thriller/shooter. The story is, you're on a freezing planet and you have to stop something called the "Frontier Project" which is a plan to change the freezing planet into a warm paradise. However the "Frontier Project" actually will kill everything on the planet, so it's your job as Wayne, a Korean-looking super hero to stop this project. Some of the characters you will meet are really well done (especially the evil white guy with the witch-nose) but other characters look like generic Japanese-RPG characters (LUKA for example). Ultimately the story is a little long with too many cinematics (if I want to watch a movie I'll rent one) and most damningly the game BLATANTLY copies two sci fi movies, so if you've seen them, you know the plot already:

Dune and Aliens.

That's right. Except not a desert to paradise, but a freezing planet to a paradise. And you kill giant reptile-like creatures who spawn from eggs or little spewing gooey things on the walls. You even fight a big worm that comes out of the ground. You wear
a special suit that's dependent on heat (not water like in Dune) etc etc etc.

So the story's kind of lame and contrived. how's the game?

Actually pretty darn good. The graphics, especially the snowy scenery are AWESOME, and I often took time just to stop and look some of the things (like the snowy ocean). The sound is fantastic. The aliens sound just like the movie "Aliens" (that's a good thing) the guns sound larger than life. Combat is fun for the most part. Although using the big machine suits ("V suits - like the one used in Aliens at the end") actually become a little boring since the fights are much more even. It's much more satisfying to fight a gigantic alien and somersault around and finally kill it than to blast a few times with a huge machine.

The end bosses are the real meat of the game play. They are very well-rendered, and insanely difficult. You will die many times your first try through, even on the easy setting. This doesn't make it any less fun however. The bosses are huge, scary, and challenging. You will enjoy it.
The final ending of the game is well done, although not great. I won't spoil it here for you.

There are some issues which could be raised about the game play.

1. The controls are not simple, so video game novices shouldn't play this. My girlfriend can't get past the first stage (and you don't even have to kill anything).

2. The smoke, while beautiful, is over-done, often making the game impossible to see. This sucks for the player, because even though you can't see, the enemy can see you and is shooting missiles and scoring direct hits on you while you fire blindly. This makes it less enjoyable.

3. The game is sometimes quite DARK. You have a flash light (like in HALO) but the game might as well not have one since it illuminates barely anything at all. In fact I can't even tell when I have it on or off. Far into the future and we can't even have a decent flashlight?

4. Most of the bosses have cheese moves. A cheese move is a 100% "you're gonna get hit" move those you old enough might remember from video game arcades. One that really pissed me off was the robot from the 4th stage who should shoot some kind of laser that would take half of my life, but this was immediately after I put on the suit so I couldn't move or do anything about it.

Pros: Gameplay

Cons: Sound, Graphics

When you start a new game, you'll get brought up to speed on current events courtesy of an opening cinematic that introduces you to what's been going on for mankind. After some broad talk about the storyline, it segues into a tighter focus on Wayne's situation, and we meet his dad, Gayle, who is leading a team of soldiers facing off against the Akrid. The real-time intro slips smoothly into a Halo-esque "welcome to hell" sequence, wherein you take control of Wayne as he's running through a city under siege with a group of soldiers. The dramatic sequence provides a good setup for the forthcoming chaos in the game and works just dandy as a tutorial. Once you've run a ways and gotten the basics for your on-foot controls, you'll hop into the game's mechlike Vital Suits, called VSs, and move deeper into the city, where you'll confront a massive, and totally unpleasant, Akrid dubbed Green Eye. The pitched battle between man and bug doesn't go terribly well, and Gayle goes down in spectacularly traumatic fashion before Wayne's eyes. The situation goes a bit odd, and the next thing you know, you're waking up surrounded by strangers who say they found you in your VS. You're a bit disoriented, as all you really remember is seeing dear-old dad get stomped. Your new friends, a band of apparently friendly snow pirates, offer to let you hang with them while you get your bearings. Their leader is Yuri, a Sephiroth-looking guy who's just a touch on the creepy side. Your two other new friends are Rick, a dreadlocked dude who sports sunglasses, and Luka, a busty lass who, despite the freezing conditions, is showing off a surprising amount of cleavage.
