Lost Planet is the second of two games that Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man, has put out in the last couple of years, the first being Dead Rising. Both games are interesting anomalies, of a sort, because they're the result of a Japanese creator working in two very American subgenres: the sandbox game (or, if not strictly speaking a sandbox game, at least an action-adventure game that gives the player a substantial amount of leeway with gameplay goals, which, as Inafune told me at E3 2006, is a very rare thing for a Japanese game to feature) and the third-person shooter.
