While walking on foot, the concept of distance is very well defined and you'll spend lots of minutes walking around in the blizzard. Always keep your eye on the T Eng meter, that's below your health meter, as this shows how much thermal energy you've got left till you freeze and die. During the game you'll have the opportunity to control your human character, Wayne or you'll pilot a huge mech called VS (Vital Suit). Considering the potential of this next-gen device, I'm not sure how long this supremacy will last in my personal gaming top ten. Welcome to the world of Wayne Holden! He's a pretty troubled young man and the main character of my favorite third person shooter for the Xbox 360 console. As Wayne, your ultimate goal is finding the Green Eye and destroying the bugs' hives, while fighting a bunch of snow pirates on the loose. Once they're dead, thermal energy is released from their bodies and humans invented the technology that allowed them to store that energy. The "bugs" are called Akrid and they're not just the enemy, but the most important resource that the planet can offer: heat. People left Earth and colonized this planet, but they have to fight the unbearable cold and the alien species that want them dead. The game's action takes place in the distant future, when humanity is struggling for survival on a planet named EDN III. You control Wayne Holden, a young man that sets on a quest to find the giant "Green Eye" creature that killed his father, Gale Holden. On the one hand we've got the flying creatures and the apocalyptic atmosphere that seem taken directly from Spirits Within and on the other hand there are the famous huge alien bugs that are very similar to the ones from Starship Troopers. Consider this a combination between Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within movie and Starship Troopers. The story is typical for a mediocre sci-fi/action movie featuring a frozen planet, a couple of pirates and many alien bugs.
It might be a bit similar to Gears of War, but only the good things got copied from the most famous Xbox 360 launch title. At first sight it's eye candy above all, but you'll soon see that the "candy" lies in the gameplay, too. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is one of those titles and I must say that playing this game has been a real privilege. Considering that the next-gen consoles have become a real hit, the producers couldn't ignore them and prepared a set of neat titles that exploited the Xbox 360's capacity to the max. I've been playing Capcom games from the early stages of my gaming life and the Resident Evil series will always be a pleasant memory.
