Anyone going to buy it again? I know I already have two versions of it, but for my favorite game of all time I am still tempted by it. Please convince me not to buy it for a 3rd time.

It's game where there's lots of snow and giant bugs burst up out of the ground and you shoot them with various weapons. That's the game in its entirety really. Of course it also has nice graphics and music and lots of explosions and stuff of that nature.
My impression of the first thirty minutes: Man, this game is totally awesome!!
My impression of the second thirty minutes: Man, this is starting to feel kind of...samey...and the controls are dumb.
So...whereas Gears of War provided a solid 7-8 hours [give or take] of intense run-and-gun bug blasting awesome, Lost Planet seems to fall into the trap of "I really don't want to shoot the same guy for the one thousandth time because it feels as though there is no point". Gears definitely has the survival aspect in its favor and the fact that getting killed as much easier. Lost Planet has tons of ammo scattered everywhere and getting killed requires you to either fall down into a [near] bottomless pit or run out of energy. Energy is everywhere. If you kill a monster, you get energy. If you kill a snow pirate, you get energy. It's used for powering the mechs and using energy guns as well as giving you a boost jump and automatically healing you when you get shot or hit by a giant bug.
It's plan to see why this game is not getting 9's and 10's across the board, having said that, the game is still fun. Fighting snow pirates really sucks though...
as you may not know, my wife minka has left me. she told me she wants to have sex with other men and when i mentioned marraige counseling she called her dad and got on a plane. she's ignoring me completely, she wont take my calls or call me. her parents are even more immature, her mom hung up on me and her dad sent me an email stating that he will not talk to minka or help me get to holland or give a place to stay. i am at my end, she wont tell me if she wants me to come there or not. i am begging you tendocity to please help me get through to her.
I'd known about this game for years, but don't think I'd ever seen any footage of it... It was really too bad that this one was cancelled. Viewpoint (Neo-Geo game later ported to Genesis and PSX) was a great game... ridiculously hard, but great...
So here's my thing, I was driving along Main street and some really old lady cut me off and almost slammed into my car. She never realized was she had done, even after I honked at her (which she was apparently to def to hear).
In retaliation I am hear by starting a petition for the humane disposable of old people. I think people over the age of eighty should be ground up and fed intravenously to the young people who still know how to drive!
