Overview
Description

In a post‑viral world split between the chrome‑clad Above and the ruined Below, veteran Headhunter Jack Wade takes on a new apprentice, Leeza X, to confront the darkness lurking beneath the surface. The game blends gritty third‑person shooting with stealth and exploration as you navigate towering megacities and subterranean colonies. The IRIS scanner lets you examine objects and enemies in detail, while rolling, leaning, and using cover provide tactical options against foes that react to sound and movement. Experience a story‑driven adventure set in a stark sci‑fi landscape on PlayStation 2.

Lost Planet 3 returns to the extreme and unpredictable conditions of the series, revealing new truths about the foreboding planet E.D.N. III. Players step into the boots of Jim Peyton, a rig pilot who leaves Earth for a hazardous contract with Neo-Venus Construction (NEVEC) to survey the terrain and secure vital Thermal Energy reserves. Blending intense third-person shooter combat with first-person rig piloting gameplay, the title delivers a compelling single-player campaign alongside diverse multiplayer modes. Brave treacherous environments, battle indigenous Akrid, and survive the ever-changing climate while fighting for an early ticket home to family.
