Summary

The extreme and unpredictable conditions that characterized the Lost Planet series return, harsher than ever before. Lost Planet 3 reveals new truths about the foreboding planet and the colonial history of E.D.N. III.

Lost Planet 3 introduces Jim Peyton, a rig pilot who leaves Earth to take on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III. Working for Neo-Venus Construction (NEVEC) who are preparing the planet for colonization, Jim joins his fellow pioneers at the Coronis base and begins surveying the uncharted terrain and obtaining samples of the planet’s energy supply – Thermal Energy.

With NEVEC’s existing Thermal Energy reserve running low the fate of the Coronis mission depends on the natural source of the energy supply being located. Realizing that this is a great opportunity for a huge pay-off and early ticket home to his family, Jim braves the risk of the treacherous environment and threat of the indigenous Akrid.

Acting as a home away from home and boasting an array of tools that can assist Jim on the field, the utility rig provides Jim’s safety and is essential not only for his contract work but also his protection against the ever-changing climate.

Lost Planet 3 will deliver a diverse range of gameplay including on-foot battles and intense first person action. With a number of multiplayer modes and a compelling single player experience, Lost Planet 3 will delve deeper into the Lost Planet universe, uncovering hidden truths within the unique and dynamic environment of E.D.N. III.

LP3's main saving grace is the storyline. It has well made and interesting setting, some cool, believable and likeable characters, includingLP3's main saving grace is the storyline. It has well made and interesting setting, some cool, believable and likeable characters, including Jim himself. World the game takes place in does good job making you believe youre on a frontier, untamed planet with some neat looking vistas, dark moody atmospheric evironments enhanced by intimidating snow storms.Sadly where game fails to impress is the gameplay side. You spend long time amounts of just walking place to place in your rig, many missions and side activities are just busy work making you do rudimentary stuff, plus do backtracking several times to places youre fine with visiting just once. Shooting mechanics and overall gunplay is pretty big step down from previous 2 games, physics dont feel as robust, Jim feels weightless and guns feel very light with barely any feedback, gun sound effects also lack any punch and are just bare bone basic, making shooting sequences not that fun. Fighting akrid themselves dont feel as satisfying as before, boss fights dont feel as cool and human Nevec enemies are just plain boring foes to engage with.On PC game runs pretty much faultlessly at 60 fps on my GTX 650, except for rare odd micro freezes at times, also for a UE3 game it looks pretty well with decently detailed environments for a obviously lesser budget game, nice light effects and good looking snow in which your footracks get registered. Aswell if you pay attention Jim has some pretty good facial animations and overall structure adding to his believibility factor.This game has its sharm in places, i cant denie that, but its also brought down by generic game design which stops it from being something more better, mostly lacking that fun shooter gameplay finesse of previous 2 games.

I'm giving it a zero score because I can't run it without a workaround. No game should crash upon opening for a substantial amount of people.I'm giving it a zero score because I can't run it without a workaround.

They've had plenty of time to update/put out patch.Just pathetic.

yeah the gameplay and the graphics are average,but the story,characters,the good soundtrack and the well done voice acting will keep youyeah the gameplay and the graphics are average,but the story,characters,the good soundtrack and the well done voice acting will keep you playing this game seriously wanting to know what will happen.the game also has the a very good atmosphere. gameplay is not good but not bad too and the Rig parts are where the gameplay shines especially that fight with Laroche in the final hours of the game.there's also a radio in the rig but you won't get the chance to listen coz it's TEMPORARLY UNAVAILABLE for about 95% of the game. Damn that really pissed me offthe game took me 13 hours and 26 minutes to finish with doing some side missions tooi can only give it a 7.5. and i could've given it a 8 if the gameplay was better than this,coz killing humans really sucked in this game and if it had a bigger world and more sidemissions

In the end, Lost Planet 3 isn't all that bad. The gameplay is solid enough as long as you're on foot, and the story is well acted even if it doesn't end up being very interesting.
