Lost Planet: Extreme Condition – Consumer Guide

According to ESRB, this game contains: Animated Blood, Mild Language, Violence

Parents should be a little careful with this title. Sure, the violence isn't particularly graphic, but there's an awful lot of it, and much of it involves the bloodless death of humans. The swearing isn't any worse than your children might hear on television at the 9 o'clock hour, and there's nothing more suggestive than an impractically-tight snowsuit.

Action game fans have no excuse for not buying this. It's the best third-person shooter to come down the pipe in ages, and should be played by anyone who enjoys putting their trigger finger to the test.

Multiplayer gamers will fiond the standard deathmatching options available here. Nothing worth writing home about, but still worth a look if you enjoy shooting other people as opposed to AI.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers are fine. Important information is subtitled or printed on screen, and while they won't be able to hear the wonderful sound effects that herald the approach of enemies, many of them are so large that they shake the screen with their movements, which offers a nice cue.
