In the immersive world of Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions snow pirates navigate protective Vital Suits, the only real way to stay alive on this sunless orbiting ice cube, through this unforgiving landscape while fighting the Akrid -- gargantuan bug-like aliens hostile toward human life on what they've come to see as their planet. You are Wayne, a snow pirate whose earliest memory is of your father being killed by an Akrid. To say that somehow affected your adult relationships with Akrids? well, that wouldn't be funny except you spend the first thirty levels of the game playing Orkin Man with their nursery nests in an effort to rid the planet of their infestation. You are a man with a mission, if not much forethought. See, Akrids produce an orange goo that is the only source of harvestable energy (and warmth) on your podunk little planet. |
