Very bad game design.
Your character is slow and clunky to move and easily get knockdown by enemies.
Change weapons your character will pause, land after jump pause.
Enemies have perfect aim.
On level 7 you are in an open field with like 50 human and mechs. Once you fight one of them everybody will fire at you. Bullets, missiles, lasers. All you can do is slowly run to the next area hopefully you can tank enough damage.
And by the way on later level the game just throws hundred of enemies at you at once explosions everywhere and your character is knock locked, basically before he can get up he gets fire at and knockdown again.
You can't see anything of all the particles and explosion in your screen.
Did the devs even test the hundred enemy placement of this game? What were they thinking?
Bad game no wonder it's forgotten by most gamers.

I've played the first few missions and the game is just about how I remember it. I enjoy the Third Person Shooter elements and the mechs are a joy to pilot and fight in. I hope they port Lost Planet 2 to Steam one day.
