Ice-cold action enriched with an interesting history

And that is exactly what does not create any shooter immediately. Of course a few exceptions such as Half Life 2, but you are looking for a well-done action mostly in elaborate action games vain. After playing through of Lost Planet, I must say that I was surprised just at this point certainly. But more about that later. It also noted the same, the Japanese have developed this game alone is due to the numerous dialogues, which are almost epic in comparison to a Microsoft competition title.

Technically knows how to impress just as the title. So fatter explosions I have seen in any other game yet. And I mean that cross-platform! Since indeed act the effects in an indexed title so as a joke ... and here is precisely the pure bombast. The threatening cold atmosphere around the abandoned ice planet, the developers very well done, albeit just the inner levels as opposed to fantastic frosty outside world seem a bit sterile and drab. As the competition on the Xbox 360 simply offers more texture diversity! The great music is played a little too quiet in the game. Unfortunately, the directional sounds to act somewhat unbalanced. It is far too much from the front speakers. That was it but also already with criticisms on the technical side. Which is also equal to forget when you get the first time one of the fat bosses to face. And that's just one of those memorable moments: The first time appears the giant spider, or at the very beginning in the prologue the green eye an expected one marvels really flabbergasted at the TV. Where one has such huge menacing critters seen before? So I still nowhere. In general, the whole fights propel a often a bead of sweat on his forehead ... also because of the unfair difficulty even on a skin easily it from the socks! So there we have it too much exaggerated. And I'm not just a beginner. On the other hand you have this special sense of achievement when you kill one of these gigantic chunks. That is staging its best! Unfortunately, the AI ​​has its quirks. And that is because my bosses much smarter occur when the soldiers of NEVEC. Here is the next generation is already much further, see FEAR or Ghost Recon.

We come to the great surprise, that the story around Luka, Rick, Wayne and Co: While this seems due to the short season a bit hectic, but nevertheless told beautifully and acts as mentioned earlier compared with other shooters almost epic , Also contribute to the incredible in-game Ziwschensequenzen that quite dramatic come along. The English speaker do a very good job. Enriched is the story of friendship, loss and betrayal, though from time to time to something cheesy. But there are just Japanese. All in all, I was entertained here very well and the sweet Luka is a really grown to love. Can not understand some of the story accuse irrelevance or the characters are pale. It is always bitching about the 08/15 stories in shooters, and now that Lost Planet times taken a brave step, to get away therefrom is also criticized again. You can make any law it halt.
