Review:
The Good: Massive bosses and thick swarms of enemies keep the action intense; large, varied stages; great-looking environments, effects, and creatures that don't cripple the frame rate; addictive multiplayer will keep you playing after you've finished the single-player game.
The Bad: The single-player game can easily be finished in seven or eight hours; scatterbrained story doesn't make much sense.
The game takes place in the distant future, when humans have left Earth in an attempt to colonize other planets. On the frozen planet known as E.D.N. III, the colonization efforts seemed to meet with some success, but eventually the humans ran up against some strong opposition in the form of massive insectlike aliens known as Akrid. In battling the hostile Akrid the humans figured out that the creatures contained within their bodies a thermal energy source that could be gathered and used as a source of heat and energy--two vital components of a comfortable life on a barren, snow-covered wasteland. Instead of fleeing the planet in search of, say, someplace not frozen, the humans decided to stay on E.D.N. III and develop heavily armed mechs known as Vital Suits with which to fight the Akrid and hoard as much of their precious thermal goo as possible. But the humans aren't just fighting the Akrid--they're also fighting each other. Groups of outlaws known as snow pirates roam around in their Vital Suits collecting thermal energy and generally causing trouble.
