Swarms of Akrid crunch through the snow after our protagonist. The world of E.D.N III is a beautifully dangerous place.
Unfortunately there were not nearly enough of them. Moments like this are what make Lost Planet 3 stand out. Upon completing that, players have Jim jump out of the rig and do battle with it from the ground. During the fight, Peyton grabs one of the claws and latches it in place. For example, one of the late game bosses forces you to fight with a giant crab Akrid. The times when Lost Planet 3 really screams Lost Planet are when the mech combat and the on-foot combat work in tandem. Sprinting was also a little hard to control. Shots landed consistently but Jim would always find a way to hop into cover behind an object I wasn’t trying to duck behind. The ground-based third-person shooting is less cumbersome than the mech battles, but still fairly clumsy. Obviously there was a way to fight them, but when you are surrounded getting bombarded by ranged Akrid attacks, it became very difficult to figure out where attacks were coming from. The first person view was troublesome when Jim was being swarmed by enemies in his non-combat mech.
The third person view while in a mech has also been replaced by a first person view. They were sent there to harvest minerals and T-Energy, but it really takes away from what makes Lost Planet’s mech battles special. I understand why they did it these were the first people on this planet. Instead Lost Planet 3 replaces the mech weapons with a drill and a grapple arm. Gone are the militarized mechs, gone are the third-person mech battles. One of Lost Planet’s biggest draws are the fast paced mech fights. The story of Lost Planet 3 is told by an older Jim Peyton as he recounts his arrival on E.D.N III and the conspiracy centered around NEVEC. Instead, the NEVEC Corporation has sent a small number of colonists to the planet to harvest minerals and T-Energy to send back to Earth.įor those who have played the first two games in the series, players will recognize NEVEC as the group in control of E.D.N III. Lost Planet 3 takes place 50 years before the original during a time when there weren’t a large number of people living on the icy planet of E.D.N III.
