Lost indeed. Where has this game been all my life? a lack of online coop after Gears did it is dissapointing, but ohwell

User Rating: 9.6 | Lost Planet: Extreme Condition X360
Lost Planet is stellar. Ok it's real pretty. I admit the game is so beautiful i've considered having relations with my tv. Fortunately the meds are working well enough for me to fight the urges. The dynamic lighting, weather (snow) effects, character designs and levels really shine for Gate's uberbox. This game is really gorgeous...and yes it even holds it's own against cliffy b's "Gears".

That said let's get to the meaty akrid of the matter. the gameplay is on par and even outshines in many ways any 3rd person action title out there. the variable direction control gives you an almost pc level of control with wayne (our hero). the use of grappling hook, quick turns, mech suit integration, and weapon variety really put the package together like no other. The story is one you'll recognize, but is new and original enough to keep you on your toes anyway. one of these days we as a society need to retire the whole amnesia-themed storyline. seriously kids i remember this storyline back to the first season of macgyver and knight rider before that. man i'm old.

anyhoo, if u buy a 360 and you can only buy one game with it...well duh...get Gears of War. but this is my very next next recommendation.
