Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
After the success Lost Planet: Extreme Condition had on the Xbox 360. Capcom has opted to move its action packed shooter to the PC. However, all is not well with Lost Planet on the PC. Right from the go there are problems. All pop-up tutorials on the PC refer to the Xbox 360’s controller making them inadequate. Also due to Lost Planet’s requirement to connect to the Internet via Steam, this will cause problems when you are half way though a mission with no save point. As soon as you lose your connection, the client quits and causes you to start from the beginning of the mission again.
Even though the game experience may be short and easy, it is still a lot of fun. With its brilliant and creative designs it really brings this game alive. Something that the Xbox 360 could never contend with. As Lost Planet is based on a frozen world, E.D.N. III, the game play focuses around thermal energy or T-Gen for short. Your energy level drops continuously so you need to obtain T-Gen often. You can do this in many ways from shooting bugs, and there are lots of bugs, to simply finding it on the floor. T-Gen also affects your health. If your health goes down you can gather T-Gen to restore it and since there is so much T-Gen dying is a vague possibility.
To some it all up, Lost Planet is a game with unlimited potential, fantastic designs and mind blowing fun. But with a few technical glitches, it is bound to boil your blood every so often.
