This 3rd person shooter is a mixed bag of epic boss fights confusing storyline and nice ideas not executed well.

I Have been looking forward to playing Lost planet ever since Xbox magazine put it on its top ten list of most wanted games of the year. Il break it down into the basic categories

STORY-- Wow where to begin lets just say your some dude on this planet inhabited by bugs (akrid) your father is killed by one of the big bugs and he is seeking revenge. After that it turns into a spiral of plot twists wierd story lines and just total confusion on whats going on I gave up on it after the 3rd movie video. Capcom could of done a lot better.

GRAPHICS-- The game looks great probably the best explosion and smoke i have ever seen. Bosses and enemies look amazing not to mention the planet itself it fun to look at. Great enviromental damage and snow effects and I will have to say Luka looks freakin hot as hell Capcom did a nice job giving her a nice rack and doing a nice job with the graphics.

GAMEPLAY-- some unique things in the game that are good others that are bad. The grappling hook which is used every level and almost every ledge or roof is really cool though sometimes it can be a pain in the azz. I wish wayne ran a little faster and didnt take 6 seconds to get up after being knocked down. The health system which is based on a health bar and your remaining heat energy can also be a pain. Your heat always ticks down but goes down a lot when taking damage shooting or basically doing anything moving. It gets real annoying when you take a barrage of rockets and bullets and your health just regenerates like nothing but your heat wil just keep dropping until your dead they really should of kept one or the other not both. The weapons and mechs are really cool yet i wished for a little more variety then just a machine gun shotgun rocket and couple of diffrent energy guns. If atleast you could upgrade your weapons it would be a lot better. Boss battles are what the game is all about you'll just fight huge gigantic creatures that look and feel amazing

SOUND-- Great sound effects music is a little lame wish it would of been more upbeat but it still fits. but everything to the mechs and gunshots explosions and wierd noises the akrid make were done well.

FINAL THOUGHT-- A lot of things were done well while some things were done mediocre game is pretty short maybe taking 6-10 hours but its fun enough to replay a few times I didnt try the multiplayer but the single player was fun while it lasted though I did feel there werent long enough levels compared to all the boss fights.
