Lost Planet has some problems, but its still an intense and entertaining shooter

User Rating: 8.5 | Lost Planet: Extreme Condition X360
The Good: Intense Combat, Lots of different creatures, good graphics, controls well.
The Bad: Too short, Story is weird and makes no sense.

Lost Planet is the first game I played on my 360, and immediately I loved it. I've played quite a few 360 games since then, some better, some worse, but when I go back and play Lost Planet, its still a solid game.

The Basic premise of the game is to shoot giant bugs, called "Akrid" that roam the Cold and deserted planet EDN III. These aliens are difficult to kill, and there are plenty of different types of Akrid to keep you busy. Also, There is a substance in your suit called T-ENERGY that keeps you warm, and it slowly depletes as you move around the world. This may all sound very difficult, but it really isn't. There are a couple of tough boss battles, but It shouldn't take you too long to finish Lost Planet. Graphics-Wise, Lost Planet looks great. The Facial animations are really good, especially. The bugs look really cool, and the explosions and gunfire look and sound great. But, There is one major problem with this game: The story. The story makes perfect sense about three quarters of the way through, but the ending is so weird, It made almost no sense to me. But still, Lost Planet is a good game.
