Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
With the Xbox 360 still selling like two week old sushi in Japan, Capcom remains Microsoft’s biggest supporter from the land of the rising uppercut. Realising there’s no point trying to appeal to the local market their games so far have all been very much Western in style, as exemplified by the well-received Dead Rising. This was intended as a third person take on Halo and even though the similarities are ultimately minor it’s still one of the 360’s best action games. Like most Capcom games the story (and particularly dialogue and voiceovers) is not one of the game’s best features, but thankfully there’s not much that needs explaining when you’re fighting monster bugs and giant robot riding snow pirates.
Like Halo you can have only two weapons at a time and use a recharging shield. This though is powered by an always decreasing supply of thermal energy, topped up from defeated enemies. Apart from this the only other piece of gadgetry you have to help you is a grappling hook, although it remains largely underused in the single player campaign. The various mechs you can commandeer are a great deal of fun though, with different variants being able to jump, hover or transform into vehicles. Graphically the game is excellent, with some awesomely large Starship Troopers style bugs and possibly the best explosions ever in gaming.
Where the game gets into trouble is the brevity of the single player campaign. Although this is compensated by the online multiplayer mode, even that cannot overcome the game’s innate simplicity. Complexity, or even longevity, is not what this game is about though and in terms of offering plenty of big dumb fun it succeeds admirably.

Good looking doesn't even begin to describe what is happening on the screen. It is spectacular.

Fun:
Lost Planet is one of the best Xbox 360 games to have come out with great visuals, good game play and a multiplayer to rival most on the 360. The single player campaign is were the only real problem with this game lies you really can't quite tell what is going on and the cut scenes provide little incite into what is going on, you can sort of tell what the main story is but there is a lot left untold. Apart from this problem the single player is deep and addictive and fun to play it is a little hard at times but the levels are fun to play can the amount that is going on is amazing all with no lagg!
The other half of the game is represented by a fun, deep and brilliant multiplayer game mode. You can play up to 24 players on line on about 15 different levels with more soon to be added. The vital suites work well with the multi player and add a lot of fun to it. There are 4 different game types. There is death match, team death match, elimination & team elimination. There all fun and addictive and make this one of the best multi player games on the 360.
One of the best things about Lost Planet is that there is almost no lagg infact I have not come along any since I have been playing and this makes the game more believable and keeps u locked on what is going on.
The limited addition is worth the money by far, with a cool limited addition cover and an art book as well. There is also a pc disk that comes with it that has art work, wallpapers, avatars & a window media player theme witch is really good.
All in all Lost Planet is a great game and well worth your attention. The one player is not as good as the other 3rd person shooters that are available but the multi player smokes the competition.

Fun:
I own both gears of war, and this (special ed, the bonus disc is v.good, has the soundtrack wallpapers, skins icons, avatars and more) and i thought this game was better than Gears! shocking, but true.
The playtime is much longer, as its a tad harder than gears of war, but much longer. AMAZING graphics, brilliant gameplay and online just makes it better!
MUST BUY, Preferably the special ed. Must have!! (not just waiting for MGS4 on xbox360 (im v.optimistic! lol, maybe abit tooo optimistic lol))

Fun:
I don't know what it is but this game seems to be missing something that little thing that makes you want to play it over and over. Don't get me wrong the single player is great fun but that's it really, the online sure you get to kill people from around the world but I would rather play on gears of war for that. On the plus side the graphics are amazing and the story line is good so it should hold up to a couple of runs through but mainly to get the achievements I would think but its your choice I think I have just wasted (...)but I guess it will just join my other games that just don't seem to make it.

Good game
I found this a good solid game though a touch repetitive at times. Well worth the bargain price it can be had for now. Though Lost planet 2 is just round the corner! Read more
