 awesome game October 9, 2008

Great game play with an X-box controller for windows. It had totally acceptable frame rates almost all of the time with my system (athlon x2 4400+, ATI hd3870, 4G ram, Vista). most of the hick-ups where during the "movie" scenes which render in glorious detail. The game play itself was seamless, immersible, challenging and had great replay value.
Love it.

I'm dumb enough to buy all the DirectX 10 titles, I have no idea why. Some are just really good games and look nice (Bioshock, Hellgate), some are severely overrated (Crysis), and some are just plain dumb (Lost Planet).
This was a serious console game, that went seriously awry on its way to the PC. Its actually the complete XBox 360 version ported to Windows. And man is is painful to play.
Good points are the visuals are terrific. The frozen world, the physics of gameplay, are all top notch. Not COD4 or Bioshock great, but nice nonetheless. The snowing, some of the character animation, the scenery all rate highly. The goofy mech warrior clones that you can ride around in are decent, as are some of the weapons (my favorite is the shotgun that hangs off the robots, its one of the most kick butt weapons I've ever seen).
But the gameplay just destroys ANY goodness this game may have. It is dreadfully slow, there is NO SAVE SYSTEM, which means you have to repeat the same checkpoints 1000 times. And, there are lots of "boss" battles, which I personally, find to be massively time consuming and annoying in general. And in Lost Planet they are even more annoying, as the "secret" to killing the bosses are always some ridiculous thing that takes 1000 plays to figure out.
And then there is the "waddya do?" problem. You know, where you wander around aimlessly for a long time, unable to figure out how to advance to the next checkpoint or cutscene. There is no navigational assistance, no direction pointers per se (there's a weak map, but it gives no info), and you can walk around for hours trying to figure out what to do. What a waste of time.
As many have pointed out, the story is weak, but serviceable. I can live with it. The characters are all video game cliche, large busted women, extremely handsome and pretty young men, all accompanied by cheesy voice acting in the badness scale of the all time winner of bad voice acting, Uber Soldier.
All in all, this is a somewhat weak product for the PC. What makes it sad, is that it was SO CLOSE to being really good. The studio that built it clearly has talent in the art department, just not in the game dynamics department. The slowness of movement, the mysterious and annoying "boss battles", the lack of a save system totally kill the gameplay for me. I can take all the other things, even the simple XBox 360 interface is workable (just dopey for a PC port). But the horrid gameplay kills it. Oh well, another waste of money

I have a monitor that goes up to 1680 x 1050, and I jacked up all the settings to high, overclocked my visiontek ati radeon 3870 512 MB GDDR4 and my amd64 phenom 9600 2.3mhz to 2.7mhz. and it runs beautifully! playstation 3/xbox 360 high definition gorgeousness, and it responds well to a logitech controller I purchased.The game has great replay value when you just wanna hop in a game and just wanna splatter some alien guts. lol
