One of the worst FPS this year.

What I mean is : Gameplay : WOW. When I first heard of this game in 2005, I was amazed. Lost Planet was going to be an intense shooter where you fight alien insects on an ice-aged planet with cool explosions and a large gun- toting robot. Little was I to know that this game would be nothing compared to all of the hype it got. The gameplay is tedious, hard, and a bit too unexpected. The weird thing is, when you shoot bug infantry, it is easy as hell. All you really have to do is wait for the little slimy opening on the wall to keep spawning monsters. Then all you really have to do is shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot or avoid. But the reason for all of this are the little red orbs that they drop. It's a cold cold world(literally lol), and your little soldier costume won't last forever. You have an amount of these orbs that protect you. They decrease every 2 seconds or so to protect you, so if you run out of them, you start losing HP.........fast. So throughout the game, you have to keep collecting them like crazy. Oh crap, that means you have NO TIME to waste. No more replay value and playing differently each time. This gets intense especially during boss battles. Did I mention that all they are....are big bugs. They attack by thrashing about and knocking you off your feet. Each hit you take from one decreases the red orbs like crazy. A lot of times, you get to pick up a rocket launcher to fight them, which doesn't do jack. Since the game producers know you need the orbs, they put light bug infantry around you. But you'll find that the infantry around the boss will only annoy you. You can't multi-task by picking up orbs, killing infantry, and fighting bosses at the same time. Gosh, you'll never even want to play the game over and over again. Also, the little mech machine you get only fires little machine gun bullets. It sucks. Graphics - Very nice visuals, I must say. Well, I'm not a graphics junky, so that is all I have to say. The explosions are really cool too. They're massive and realistic at the same time. But..BUT...the dead bodies block you when you step over them. The slide around unrealistically. Sound - Average. Not bad.
Value - You heard me. After spending a few hours on the game, I am now officially afraid of even going near the game.
Overall - Overall, the difficulty frustrates me, which brings down the game. You can play the demo and just freak out, because it really, really, stinks.
