  Lost Planet 3 feels like a watered down Dead Space. Any redeeming qualities of the Lost Planet franchise are dead and gone, leaving a husk of its former self. Capcom has recently stated that they're moving back into more internal development, and for their sake, I sincerely hope they keep a better eye on their IPs in the future.

  The series has come a long way since Extreme Condition yet, even now, Lost Planet is still playing catch-up. It often feels as though Capcom wanted to emulate other, more successful third person shooters, namely Dead Space. It may have succeeded in that pursuit, though the genre continues to expand and surprise, the goalposts constantly moving.

  t’s a shame that the narrative couldn’t have been placed in the hands of a more capable developer, as there’s a surprisingly strong story to be found in the midst of all the generic third-person shooting. It’ll be difficult for the franchise to bounce back after this one, but after fighting the same giant snow crab boss on its third appearance, it’s hard to even care.

  The truly bewildering conundrum of Lost Planet 3 is that it could have easily been so much more. Aside from the borrowed gameplay mechanics, the story is solid and well acted, Visuals are above average, sound is mostly well done, and the switch between first-person mech and third-person keeps gameplay fairly fresh.

  5.0

  An adequate but forgettable shooter that does very little to distinguish itself from the colossal number of shooters on the market. The mechs help, but Lost Planet 3 is ultimately dragged down by poor level design, boring enemy encounters, and far too much filler.?

  It all adds up to something that’s functional and at times enjoyable, but in a derivative way that rarely stands out.

  7.0

  Solid like a block of ice, and just as unremarkable, Lost Planet 3 is an enjoyable adventure that cobbles together ideas from elsewhere, but doesn’t dig its way beyond the basics. Fortunately, its well-paced story and likeable cast warm the overall experience, melting away most of the gameplay's rigid shortcomings.

  5.0

  Jim Peyton's story as played in Lost Planet 3 is a mixed proposition, in need of trimming to the monster-shooting tedium, yet anemic in its core interactions. The workmanlike effort by Spark Unlimited, its best yet, comes out less believable and less interesting than Grandpa Peyton's final words: the story of a man immune to the cold, who wasted most of his life shooting monsters in the back.

  ...isn’t a particularly handsome or graceful action game, but beneath the somewhat dull surface the characters and the multiplayer progression are outstanding.

  Lost Planet 3 at least has a respectable story and some combat variety to it, even if the pieces don’t always come together quite right. Jumping in and out of the mech keeps it from being just another cover-based shooter. If not for level design that’s full of frustrating inconsistencies, it might even have been good enough to fully recommend.
