Really good game overall. Great graphics with the unreal engine, which is rare. Sound is a little scratchy is some places. Many things to do in this game. Optional quests are fun, large world (although not totally open), cool upgrades to purchase.

This is a shoddy port and the graphics look somehow worse than my PS2. Don't let the cheap price dupe you - save up for a better game!

sounded good on paper; the sequel looks pretty sweet..

terrible graphics, controls, load times, etc; not an enjoyable game and not worth the 4.4gb HDD space on your ps3

Maybe Lost Planet 3 , a third- and first-person shooter prequel from Capcom, will make more sense if I explain it as a middle school project. Middle schoolers will work IN groups, but not AS groups.

Jim's nice; Horror homage

At odds with itself at almost every turn; Why does it have to have multiplayer

franchise has experienced some peculiar ups and downs since it was let loose on the world in 2006. The original found a solid footing in the third person shooter arena and there was much hope from its loyal following that the franchise would flourish.

Set before the events of the previous games, Lost Planet 3 returns to the icy planet of E.D.N. III, which is still largely unexplored when the game begins. You take on the role of Jim Peyton--one of humanity's first colonists to the planet--as he uncovers the mysteries and dangers of the prosperous...

Tight shooting mechanics; Alternating between driving the mech and exploring on foot

Walking through the same icy tunnel yet again; Fighting a boss that you've already faced before; The limited multiplayer offering

In the third iteration of the Lost Planet series, some things are gained, and some are, appropriately enough, lost. Lost Planet 2 was a frustrating and beautiful concoction, loaded with grand ideas that all too often sacrificed basic playability.

Great story that focuses on ordinary people in an unfriendly circumstance; Akrid Survival mode is tense and exciting

Repetitive encounters in repetitive environments; Execution stumbles dampen the action; Loses what made the series unique; both online and off

Lost Planet 3 is a prequel that does a whole lot more than its predecessors, but then that's not saying much. It's the definition of a mixed bag, at one moment boasting superb landscapes, but then dropping you into yet another cavern filled with scuttling Akrid.

Farming out the development of a respected IP can work wonderfully. Just take a look at Dead Rising 2 , a solid attempt to follow-up an insanely popular zombie-fest with mostly positive results.

It's dark, cold and damp. Every footstep rings hollow on the metallic floor, each breath condensing a cloud that hangs in the air that can be barely seen by the inhabitants. The room is dimly lit and gloomy, many areas of the environment obscured by feeble amounts of fluorescent lighting.

Lost Planet 3 has tried to return to the frozen wasteland that should have made the original famous, but instead it just feels like a poor man's Dead Space 3 . It doesn't do anything particularly memorable, and lets down its best moments with lazy level design and a cheap presentation.

+ Cool mech; + Decent story; + Shooting aliens and stuff

- Awful level designs; - It's not a real open world; - Underdone visuals; - Generic gameplay
