The control setup configuration is focused on the assumption you’ll be using an Xbox 360 controller, despite the fact that everyone knows it’s far easier to play shooters of this type with a keyboard and mouse. ![]() ![]() You can’t navigate the menus using the keyboard (not even the Escape key works), and it’s the first game we’ve encountered that, bizarrely, requires you to right-click to get back to the main menu. It isn’t often that the pre-game menu system is bad enough to put you off the game itself, but Lost Planet makes a good stab at irritating the hell out of PC players. This is yet another game in the growing roster of titles that were clearly designed for the Xbox first and PC a pretty distant second. The bad news is the game proper doesn’t follow through on its promise and, on top of that, a litany of annoyances tarnish it further. The hype surrounding Lost Planet’s graphics engine is true: it’s amazing, and the setting – a frozen, snow-covered planet – is original for this class of game, too.
