The long awaited 3rd person shooter lives short of the hype with some dissapointing gameplay.

May I first start out with some good that Lost Planet is really one of the most visually stunning games I have ever played. It's chuck full of detail all the way from the snow to the pretty explosions. Another rather nice element to the game is the story, which is usually one of Capcoms strong fields. But now with the bad. Game play wise it can be good but there are many many annoyin little bugs that just really mess with you. First, there a just a lot of explosions in the game and it seems you are constantly in the battle feild and everytime there is an explosion anywhere near you your body is just stumbling everywhere to the point where you cant even move and its a real drag. You are just stumbling around in the snow like a complete drunk with no control of your character and thats when a giant worm comes up and bites your face off. Another aspect is your character is so stiff along with the mechs that are given. It seems as if you are walking around like a robot. And lastly you are constantly having to pick up these little power balls to keep your health up and really the producers need to know that the player just wants to have fun with the game and doesn't wanna have to continually pick up all the "balls". Other than that though the sound is good, story is good, and graphics are a perfect 10.
