Lost Planet is a Capcom game which was first shown at last years E3 (and was released as a demo on Xbox Live). It was released earlier this year and has sold very well. The reason for this is that it is a very good 3rd person shooter. The story takes place on a distant planet... yes an icy planet, where you must battle aliens, big ugly aliens, VERY big and VERY ugly aliens.
The atmosphere of the game is setup very well. The cold environment is well made. As you walk around in the snow (snow up to your knees) you leave a trail behind. As you kill enemies you pick up power cells (which help your life).
The story is a little weak, but typical anime kind of thing. You wake up, don't remember much, you have some new technology installed on your arm, your not sure what it does but it makes you stronger... blah blah blah.
The graphics are VERY VERY good in this game, the enemies are well drawn, some of the bigger enemies are HUGE and very impressive looking. Controls are well done, very responsive and the game overall feels like it's made for the controller. I loved the demo and the game didn not disappoint me. The multi-player is also great and is easy to use. Xbox Live is a class act multi-player network.
4/5 Stars
