You'll play as Wayne, a young man who holds a mysterious past of sadness and technology. When you first put in the disc your setting is a warehouse under evacuation, for a huge alien, buggish, crabby looking monster is destroying just about everything in sight. This level is basically a tutorial for it makes you excercise most of your characters gadgets and gismos. Eventually ( and I hope you were expecting this) you will have to fight the behemouth. Ofcourse, since this boss has some signifigance in the game, as much as you try you willl not be able to kill the titan. So now your left frozen until a group of space pirates find you, and thats where the story begins......

Now for the graphics. The visuals in the game are beautiful, althought they are nothing compared to Gears of War they do have their own little wow moments diffrent from Gears. For example the explosians are 100x better than Gears of Wars will ever be, but then again, how bad could the graphics even get when your surounded by snow 80% of the game. But with that said the graphics and visuals of the enemys and enviroments will not disappoint you in anyway.

And now we move on the sound of the game, not much to say about it really. Nothing spectacular, much like the graphics and gameplay of the game.

Finally, for the moment you've all been waiting for.....the actual gameplay of this game. Like I've stated before, there is really nothing spectacular or inivative about the gameplay at all. The mechs' ( although very cool) bring nothing special to the gameplay, its all very dull and underwhelming, its all just shoot, dodge, shoot. And when your out of the mech it feels like playing a free Xbox Live arcade game would be better. The game takes little to no skill when played. You run and shoot and even when you get shot,blown up with a freakin' rocket launcher your still A.O.K. You'll understand later on in the game that the little machine on Waynes arm is the main reason he can take all those hits, but when it comes down to it, it just doesn't make any sense. In one cutscene he gets shot once and hes down, but meanwhile in-game you could get mode down by a steam roller and Wayne will be alright ( doesn't really happen in the game but if it did you would probably survive.) So as you could tell, the gameplay is really un-challenging and because of that the game gets really repetative. And if you want to know, the multiplayer isn't much diffrent either......

So their you have it folks. Lost Planet, a beautiful third-person shooter that's gameplay doesn't quite live up to its visuals. If your still intrested after this review I would say rent it, but its really nothing special....
