The controls are simple enough a monkey could understand them, A is jump and the whole gameplay mechanic revolves around you pressing A for extended periods of time, eventually you find a robotic arm which means you can pick up small rocks of green fire and place them in alien energy stations with Y and that’s the game. It’s quiet possibly one of the worst games I’ve ever played, I took no enjoyment from it at all, I was wishing the time away and I finished it in around 3.5 – 4 hours. It’s plain lazy, somewhere along development David Board got bored with his own game and just gave up and that’s what I wanted to do, just give up, but the lore of achievements kept me going cause I’m like that, but by the end of the game even they had broken and stopped unlocking for me. Running out of oxygen? Your standing next to a refuel station.Ĭan’t reach that high rock? Have some booster packs for your rocket pack.įinished the rocket jump section, you’ve run out of boost for now. The mechanics and controls for this game handle like a tank stuck in mud, the camera angle gets lazy, the animation gets lazier and the puzzles weren’t thought out enough to pose any kind of challenge along the way, jump on this rock, jump over to that rock. He’s not fussed though, he just walks off, summing up my feelings for the game perfectly, I’m not fussed, after finding the town and discovering an abandoned research lab that appeared to be mining the lush green rock known as ‘Green Fire’ subsequently killing off everything on their path of discovery and colonisation, I just got bored. As our hero goes to share oxygen with him he’s swallowed whole by a weird root plant that disappears into the soil. Inside the church is one of the surviving team members. The atmosphere and music send chills down your spine as you search this dead colony, a grave yard and a church. On this planet, whats going on, well turns out the Russians found a portal to this planet, instead of sharing with the world they thought they would keep it as their dirty little secret, building a laboratory along the way.

On a positive though our hero has super strength, pushing a rock twice as wide as him and just as tall with the power of telekinesis as the animations for our character are little to none, his legs move, and that’s it, quiet disappointing for a next-gen title, it has the look and feel of a PS2 game, and that’s being generous at best, it just feels lost, lost like this space man.Īs the journey continues my interest peaks a little, a Russian audio log and a town. Four hours later you come to an end, but I’m here to paint a picture for you with my basic knowledge of english words and a temper that rivals Tony Montana’s. So far the game appears to be walk, jump puzzle, audio log, walk, repeat. No dense greenery, no forms of life, just orange, orange and brown.

Never fear, your oxygen tanks are full thanks to a handy space shuttle. Now this is where my first problem occurs, when ever there looks to be some signs of danger on the horizon, the answer is literally around the corner, at no point do you feel like your struggling for life, no oxygen bar to measure your last breaths as you bounce along, each blast of air firing you into the atmosphere wasting oxygen along the way. Scientists always appear to be too dumb to be smart reminding me of Prometheus.

So what does any smart scientist do on a completely baron planet with little to no oxygen left? why run further into the planet in search of the sweet taste of air. Told that the planet is dense with lush greenery and thought to be filled with lifeforms our team set their sights for the planet, 15 years in a freeze chamber later, waking up to a crashed ship with no sight of your team members, you start your one way mission on a huge positive, an oxygen leak. I wonder why there was a picture of a woman on the window on the journey here? Little attachments are plants and being part of a Sunday football league, not a loved one. The team is okay with this idea as they have little attachments keeping them on earth. Lifeless Planet is a story of discovery, a one way ticket to a foreign planet.
