Отличная игра! Эдакая смесь Mechwarrior и Half Life. Проходится на одном дыхании.

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is a port of the ever so popular Xbox version. Developed and published by Capcom you begin the game int he Year T.C. -80 on the planet E.D.N. III after Earth's conditions become too critical thanks to Global wamring, Pollution and war. Neo-Venus (NEVEC) plans to colonize E.D.N. III to a new Earth-like planet in grip of an ice age but they descovered that the are aggressive territorial insectoids named Akrid inhabit this planet. You play as Wayne Holden, a Soldier who gets Amnesia pretty early in game. Gameplay wise the ground and Vital Suits (VSs) combat feels fluid, quick, and oh so satisfying. You play over the sholder view or you can switch to first person any time. You can carry 2 weapons of anykind except VS weapons which you can still use but you have to drop em. You have a grappling hook to climb or hijack VSs. The main gimmick to the game is Thermal Energy, keep the number high and you can live longer. Overall the Game plays great, looks great, and controls a bit sloppy. Overall a great game if you don't mind learning how to use KB+M. Get the Colonies edition though since it has more features and modes with the same Story. This one also has Dead Multiplayer.

A really nice game if you want an action-packed adventure with some environmental exploration and great freedom of approach.

The thermal energy mechanic might take a little while to get used to, but as soon as you wrap your head around it you'll be feeling like a real scavenger, looking around for every container and such, to get that glowing liquid that lets you survive, and you might also want to optimize your ammo usage for that extra survival flavour.

The setting is very fascinating,although its background is too vaguely described.
Enemies are varied and have cool designs, and they are quite aggressive and will swarm you if you're not careful.
Bosses are usually huge and ensue epic battles.

There are some cool weapons, but the best feature is the robots, there are different models that handle differently and have special moves and abilities, very nice. The stronger the robot, the more thermal energy it consumes, so it's all balanced and you gotta be a good player to survive.

The grappling hook is very cool, you can do some nifty tricks with it, too bad that the game doesn't mention them in any way.

There are some collectibles, not sure what they are for since I didn't look for them.

Sniping makes the game easier but I recommend it on some very hard parts of the game, e.g. you on foot vs. 6 robots and 12 soldiers.

It's playable with m&k, very very enjoyable, only the last "corridor" suffers from this layout.

The multiplayer in this version seems to be unusable, what a pity.

Had problems running it in dx10 with my 7870, played it in dx9 without problems, all to the max at 1920x1080.



All in all an excellent shooty-shoot fest with a good japanese flavour that gives it a feel of a lovingly crafted capcom game.

Took me 12 hours to play the campaign on normal, I'm an explorative player though, no point in rushing the experience. So if you're an ocd zergling it will probably last less.
