It seemed to me that it was pretty much a simple game for all I had seen and that it had some flaws in it.

Well, I was WRONG. This game is pretty "cool". And it is cool cause it's simple. Screenshots and **** don't make it any justice. It's one of those first games where I can see what next gen is all about. the core gameplay isn't anything outstanding but what makes Lost Planet a great game is the whole experience. It's just too pretty too look at. It kinda has this MGS meets Star Wars feel to it somehow. And the fact that the gameplay isn't so bad makes it a breeze to go thru. There's quite a sense of scale in it, everything is bigger than you. Some of the boss battles are awesome, and in the end it's a pretty standard shooter with a cool sense of what's cool and what is stylish for them, ppl who made the game. The game is quite easy, everything's that runs across your path is quite dumb and **** so you can play around with it and have fun pretending these guys are tough while they're throwing grenades and rockets at you. Cause you're quite invencible, the only concern you've got is not dying from hypotermia or whatever. I mean that you can't let yourself too much into the cold or you'll freeze. Only way to stop this is from getting the heat that the enemies ooze outta them when you kill em. What doesn't make any sense is in stages near volcanos this same mechanic applies. The story doesn't make much sense too tho the cutscenes are pretty to look at. All in all this game is a winner for throwing something different in each stage, always keeping it interesting. Mutiplayer is fun but on the pc it's kinda hard to find any servers. Steam piece of ****
