Lost Planet is a 3rd person shooter, you spend all your time aiming and shooting at several different types of acrid (insect-like alien monsters), other humans, and even robot suites known in game lore as V.S. At strategic points you also will don a V.S. yourself, so gameplay is kept interesting by switching between VS and human mode. Oh, there's also a story that ties everything together - which you can and should mostly ignore. Thermal energy acts as a clock in the game, it constantly runs down and you'll die shortly after reaching zero. The mechanic does put the pressure on you to keep moving, and to replenish your supply whenever feasible. On the whole it's not too difficult to manage, other than a few places where it tends to run low.
The boss fights are too difficult for my book. I ended up leaving the game at the Green Eyes fight. I'm not certain if that's the last boss of the game or not (if it is, then I'd say the game is fairly short). In any event, it seems to be a three stage fight: first shoot the eight targets on the acrid's sides, then the four on its head, then who knows? I gave up upon discovering that there was a third stage. I play games to progress through them, not to get stuck trying to defeat the same boss for hours on end. If I had the patience to push through to the end I would give it a higher rating, but as is, I think 3 stars is fairly decent, if not generous.Get more detail about Lost Planet Extreme Condition: Colonies Edition.
