The story follows the concept of a man with amnesia, Wayne Holden, who goes on an epic journey to fight a great evil while at the same time regaining parts of his memory to reveal a tragic back story full of heartbreak and betrayal. The game features a stylish, snowy wasteland setting and very traditional Japanese combat balancing. The game was originally intended to be an Xbox 360 exclusive but was later ported to the PlayStation 3 and PC platforms. Lost Planet is a third-person shooter, although the player may enter a first-person perspective at any time, developed and published by Capcom.
