A visually impressive shooter, fine with friends, but avoid this if you’re going to be on your own or reliant on randoms...

Lost Planet 2 is a very fast paced 3rd person shooter and maintaining a healthy FPS is important when playing the game. Despite the extra eye candy and immersive experience that DirectX11 technology brings to the game, the penalty for turning these fea...

It’s been 3 years since we last stepped foot onto Lost Planet’s E-D-N III. Back then it was a cold and inhabitable place filled with an insect-like alien species known as Akrid. Boy how times have changed. The blowing snow has given way to blowing...

It's part of the Capcom DNA to make a game tough, on occasion frustratingly so. Either intentionally or the result of poorly conceived design choices, it's a trait that usually endears the publisher towards the hardcore who'll often overlook awkward co...
With inspiration from Modern Warfare and Gears of War, Lost Planet 2 delivers action by the bucketload. When you're battling against the biggest bugs the game has to offer, Lost Planet 2 can be a blast particularly with a few friends. It is however a f...

You played the first Lost Planet over three years ago, right? Remember how annoyingly slow the movement was and how the irritating controls marred an otherwise enjoyable and action-packed game, yeah? You're probably hoping, nay, praying that Capcom has...

In 2007, Capcom's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition was a decent start for a franchise. It featured stunning graphics that drove home the point of high-definition "next-gen" visuals, with massive, elaborately detailed monster boss battles like we hadn't...

Feature-for-feature, Lost Planet 2 should be an improvement over the original. It sports four-player online co-op, a robust multiplayer mode complete with unlockable goodies, and impressive visual design with lots of variety and artistic flair. Yet ama...
Fantastic production values, Loads of gameplay variety, A ton of online content, Competitive play can be good fun.
Abysmal friendly and enemy AI, Awful mission design, Relies too much on taking control away from the player, All sorts of small, deadly flaws.
This sci-fi sequel seems like it should have everything you need in a shooter, but a shocking number of design missteps suck out much of the fun...

Lost Planet 2 features an enjoyable multiplayer component and interesting monster designs, but it isn't enough to overcome its many faults. Gamers who enjoyed playing the original title online will find reasons to play it, but it's a disappointing titl...
Online multiplayer mode still a lot of fun; expanded with new maps and customization options; solid graphics and visuals.
Fourplayer coop campaign is dull and frustrating; awful checkpoint system further sullies campaign; unintelligible narrative with anonymous characters.

As the follow-up to the critically liked and commercially successful Lost Planet, Lost Planet 2 seems to have everything going for it. Aimed at western audiences, the team at Capcom headed up by Keiji Inafune and Jun Takeuchi promised a return of the w...
Lost Planet 2 plays like it was never put in front of a member of its intended audience at some point during its development, someone who might have asked "why?": "Why can't I pause the game unless I make my game unjoinable?" "Why can't I join a co-op...

I look back on Lost Planet quite fondly. I remember the great boss battles, the stunning visuals and the cool use of mechs. It's funny, though; at the time the fact that it was rock hard (unfairly so at points) had a terrible save system, a crap grappl...

More than just the Akrid are buggy in this incredibly wonky third-person shooter from Capcom. Sure, the game sports moments of great fun, but more often than not you'll struggle with loads of frustration, constant interruption, and uninspired gameplay. It...
