I'm no scientist, so I can only postulate that somewhere, deep within the gamer's brain, there's a pleasure center dedicated solely to the destruction of glowing, orange weak points.Īfter playing through the first three "episodes" of Lost Planet 2 - each split into several chapters - the game seems to strike most of the same chords as the original. The giant bugs and beasties, known as Akrid, were the reason to play Lost Planet.

The story and characters were forgettable - really, do you remember any of it? But man, those bugs. The third-person shooting was vanilla at best and frustrating at worst. I enjoyed the original Lost Planet, but I wouldn't call myself a fan.
