Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions(Capcom)
This is Starship Troopers set on Hoth
| 10 Feb 2007
Thankfully, you'll have forgotten all of this five minutes into game. Capcom have utterly outdone themselves with a game that looks incredible and is a joy to play. With landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see, you'll run miles through the snow with bugs of all sizes bursting out around, as you blast furiously to get their precious life-giving T-ENG. Forget the story, this is Starship Troopers set on Hoth with Chromehound style Mechs thrown in for good measure. Add in frequent bosses, who are varied enough to keep it fun - and with the levels lasting around a satisfying hour each, you're laughing. Then there's still the incredible multiplayer modes to show off your skills. The learning curve is fairly steep but after a few hours, power-sliding round in a Mech while pumping rockets into a 60-foot scorpion will seem like second-nature. [Graeme Strachan]
