Pro Incredible storytelling
Games aren't really known for having great writing or performances, but Jim Peyton's story is awesome. He's a guy who's left his family on a work contract for years, hoping to make a better life for them. The game's great dialogue and eclectic cast of characters is wonderful. Even a generic NPC can spout some clever and funny lines from time to time.

Cons
Con Fans of the previous games might not enjoy it
Lost Planet 3 is a great third-person shooter in its own right, but it may disappoint fans of the previous two entries because it breaks a lot of the game's established rules in terms of story and structure.
Con The list price is high
$24.99 is kinda up there, even though it is a lengthy game. It goes on sale a lot, however.
Con Lacks widescreen support
The game only plays in 4:3, there is no widescreen support.
Con Terrible controller support
The default controls for the game with a controller do not work that well and will most likely require a third party fix.
Con It's practically impossible to play with mouse and keyboard
A keyboard binding exists, but it is impossibly complicated for anyone to use.
