Let us skip the rather predictable story of memory restoration and revenge and go straight to the game play elements that allow Lost Planet to stand out from others of its ilk. First there is the obvious slow movement in third person of the character, and obvious derivation of the Dead Rising animations. Of course we are mostly ploughing through the deep snow of this ice world. Movement is greatly enhanced by a short fire grappling hook enabling Wayne to get to out of the way portions of the mission map. This is important as some mission maps have a definite linear feel without the ability to explore. Snow pirates’ opponents are able to don semi mech type armour called Vital Suits are reasonably dim witted enemy to deal with, but do provide some opportunity to adopt different strategies to those offered by the alien inhabitants. Of course, jumping into your own Vital Suit when given the chance is a must. Speaking of the Akrid, these starship trooper inspired bugs provide wonderful visual fodder for the many weapons you find scattered around EDN III. From a style perspective, the Akrid range from little critters to screen filling boss monsters. Yet unlike many similar sci-fi shooters, the Akrid feel like a race, with similar insectoid designs across the range. One major game play twist and comment on presentation follow on page 2
