When the plot of the game is mentioned betrayal Solotova Russian doctor and a confrontation between two brothers, one of which was a favorite of his father and stole second everything that was supposed to it by law, "the head immediately creeps bad associations. Only you think that no, it seemed, but then before the decisive battle of heroes speak a direct quote from Liquid Snake («Have it your way!»), And you realize: a comparison with the Metal Gear Solid should start in the first sentence, and finish - in the second . Lost Planet from Capcom, another exclusive for the Xbox 360, not trying to be a copy of another's works. Going in search of game that appeals to the entire planet at once, Keiji Inafune felt for the team did their share of the rake, but it must be admitted that the second of the game came out good. Good as Dead Rising.
But if Dead Rising sends us to the mall, populated by thousands of zombies, the hero of Lost Planet is in the icy wilderness side by side with the millions of beetles. Here's the thing: a couple of decades ago, people went to the final befouled the earth into space in search of new habitats. Cool the planet EDN III seemed a good choice: a couple of years terraforming would make of it a tropical paradise, the colonists laid the first city ... but no such luck. Obzhivshis in a new place, people are faced with unexpected threats. Gigantic insect monsters, locusts attacked the intruders, destroyed by human settlements and drove out with a good half of the world's inhabitants. Remaining established martial furs (known as Vital Suits, or simply VS), able to withstand the monsters. Today on "Lost Planet" people are desperate struggle for survival, divided into clans, and still hope to finish the project on terraforming. Our hero Wayne, a young pilot who loses her father in a battle with a huge locusts, known as Green Eye, looking for revenge and joins tucked snow pirates ...

Japan and other eastern countries are now overwhelmed by the so-called "Korean Wave" - the fashion for everything connected with South Korea. Everyone is looking South Korean soap operas, listen to South Korean music, following the personal lives of South Korean stars. To bring to Lost Planet even more attention to the Japanese public, the developers of Capcom decided to invite the role of Wayne's Korean star named Lee Beng Hong (Byung-Hun Lee, the options of reading and writing may vary considerably). On the gameplay and gaming experience is absolutely no effect, but if you're suddenly watching movies A Bittersweet Life («La Dolce Vita") or Everybody Has Secrets («Everyone has their own secrets"), you instantly recognize the main character. And while Lost Planet did not hit the Japanese charts selling games, but the total global circulation of the game surpassed one million copies, more than a third higher than forecasts. This means there until the sequel far.

The plot leaves room for sequels, and green eyes that light is sent to either the fourth, whether the fifth level. You're already waiting for new adventures, but instead you get a completely stupid, confused and contradictory story with transformers and energy swords in the final. Capcom will be enough to put a cool screensaver, write a single Soul Plane theme song, do not bad motion capture and an impressive model, but the catch in all that happens makes any sense is very difficult. And it does not want to look for an explanation, what kind of device is built into the hand of Wayne and how such a tricky way it translates the orange puddles left by slain monsters and destroyed the bellows in the heat. " Heat - local analog fuel and health at the same time, than its more the next fur fly, the longer stretch Wayne in the battle. However, worry about him not: for low and medium levels of complexity you can hardly even remember it existed.
This helps the waves of monsters - the endless groups of beetles can crawl on you for hours, without a murmur was killed in the fire-issue machine. Engine and do not slow down your thinking, even in large dens, where the bill runs into tens of monsters. From time to time you will nabredat draws on robots, and then you can continue your journey on foot or in a combat machine. Robots use other weapons and are generally much more effective in combat, so in the arena before each leader necessarily arranged several empty bellows.

With the engine developers have tried to fame: it is fast, beautiful, stable and original just enough to not go beyond the limits of propriety, but also does not seem too bland. Usually, third-person shooter right analog knob turns sights around the hero and instantly makes him turn his head. In Lost Planet you can aim precisely, without moving: at small deviations sight goes across the screen, but the hero remains in place - seems like a trifle, but when you take a gamepad in hand, immediately notice the difference. This allows more precise aim, but for quick turns 90 degrees toward the answer "bumper" (upper Shift). Another original and relatively useless appendix - a cat with a little motor (a cat that hook, and not that meows). Characters can hang it behind the wall and quickly catch up on the rope - so convenient to get on the rise or quickly evade enemy missiles. This is a good find, that give Lost Planet a chance to rise above the genre, and so offensive, that the developers could not use it until the end.Having to shine polished engine, game designers seem to have not understood what to do with it and how to collect from the usual Singer sewing machine game with a capital "I".

The problem of Lost Planet is that it does not develop. At the first level you with umolchalnym "gun go against the infinitely re-emerging beetles, then you are doing and on the latter. Worse, Lost Planet makes the pass on some levels twice that only adds to the monotony. You never for a moment will forget the futility of his effort: there are cards that can be run from beginning to end, do not come to blows - ask, what was the fuss? Weapons that you see in the beginning, you'll use and in the end, the bottles, met at the start, will be waiting for you in the finals, and only the bosses - what we need, without any discounts and reservations. Take any recognized hit from Capcom, remember there the ringleaders, and know this: the giant bugs in Lost Planet just as good. Even play in the battles with the bosses is nice (you know that he is guilty, unable to outwit the enemy), and only win - twice! The entire campaign would be as resourceful.
The thrill of multiplayer is almost the same as that of singles: all with him, and there is no spark. Four modes - standard Elimination and Team Elimination, «one against all" entitled Fugitive and team battle for the strategic positions of Post Grab. Maps are only eight, but you can choose layout options of weapons, robots and rozhalok "to change the conventional strategy. Mekhi stokes online battles: who was the first steel grab a car, who will be able to "withdraw" the enemy pilot, where to get a rocket launcher - the search for answers to these questions online are much more interesting. On Xbox Live is already published a patch that fixes the problems with communication and eliminates unnecessary difficulties in finding opponents - in short, makes the game easier and more enjoyable. By the way, only in a multi-part Lost Planet is a system of experience: the more you play and win, the higher your level, and the more skin you can use in the future - a trifle confused, but nice.

Capcom - such a special company from which you never know what to expect. Near filigree Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 3, it can be with the same fanfare release stupid Devil May Cry 2 and Killer 7. One gets the impression that the developers put in all the games the same amount of care and labor, bring them up to blockbuster status, and further the cause is taken, I do not know, studio muse. If it is the right time visiting a light head game designer, you pass a game, not looking up from the screen, and only in the last credits Expires: "Wow ...».If you do not attend, then in the game, with all its formal star status, appearing ridiculous mistakes that let down her from the pantheon of the area "just good games." They are obvious to anyone who will consult with the gamepad in the hands of a couple of hours. Recall the zombie holocaust Dead Rising: being a wonderful game, he spoiled nefarious AI and futile missions. Lost Planet is the same road. Great engine, great graphics, polished gameplay ... Even a little bit, and full-blooded hit at all times. But in our severe time "slightly" is not considered.

The greatest number of questions and puzzling last boss battle in which the hero is given a new coat of fur with completely different management, and unaccustomed to such a machine, the player is left alone with a strong and dangerous opponent. Our basic strategy for the final battle - "broke and run." You try not to lose sight of the enemy, not allowing him to gain distance between you, the pinch right trigger on the gamepad and the charging energy sword blow. When the boss spends an attack, you dodge a brilliant, approaching close to the opponent, letting go of the trigger and apply a stroke very significant damage. In the course of the battle leader must call in to help two summers laser - beware! This is your real enemies. They inflict huge damage and are very dangerous. First of all, learn to dodge their queues, then use the plan "broke and run." Victory will be ours!
