 Really great game! what's with the reviews? April 25, 2008
This game has some features that Halo 3 does not have. It is a third person shooter game and some features are nice to play. It is not the best game, but an 8 out of 10.
 Big fun! March 17, 2008
I really liked the landscapes. Good action. The background story is a little weak, but still fun. Haven't played a lot of PS3 games yet, but for what it's worth I could just pick up the controller and start shooting without having to know 400 key commands.
 Lost Planet is lost on me February 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
At the time of its release, Lost Planet was arguably the most hyped game from CAPCOM since Dead Rising blew the minds of many, myself included. While it boasts a load of potential it is ruined by a horribly fiddly control system.
Thrown into a cliched revenge story on a desolate ice-covered planet, we quickly learn the importance of a well thought-out control system. Sadly, this is what makes the game so painful; if it wasn't for the controls this game would have a lot going for it. The main problem is that the right analog stick controls your direction, but if you tap it quickly you spin quickly in that direction. So if you're facing one direction and tap down, you'll turn 180 degrees. What this means though, is if you're trying to aim at something and just want to adjust your site very slightly and you just tap the right stick, you're suddenly facing a completely different direction, which makes for VERY frustrating boss fights. And the control settings aren't modifiable! At least not the problematic ones anyway.
Most of the game involves action on foot or controlling mech warrior style machines called Vital Suits which are actually pretty cool. There are different types of machines to keep things interesting. Your character also possesses a Batman style grappling hook which is pretty cool but overall the gameplay really suffers due to the controls.
The graphics are very nice, with large, explorable environments with finely detailed snow and fog. The enemies vary in their quality but typically the bosses are very detailed. There are some very nice fire and lighting effects as well so overall the graphics are really very good.
But when it really comes down to it, the controls RUIN this game. It's probably even more disappointing because you can see the games potential as well. It's like when you meet a really hot girl and you start getting along with her great and then she says she has a boyfriend.
One of the best games for the Xbox 360! February 3, 2008
Lost Planet is great in terms of gameplay as well as visuals. Battling alien life forms in this game reminds me of "Starship Troopers" but even better. This game is full of sci-fi action.
Get it and see what the Xbox 360 can do with its raw processing power with regard to visuals, sound effects, and gameplay.
 Good, but not Great January 22, 2008
So, if you are looking for a great shooter, with amazing graphics and a good online setup... There are much better games out there. This game, while fun and interesting, just does not give you much of an exciting feeling. the monsters are pretty cool looking, and it does present a challenging game to defeat, but it is just not that great game you are looking for I'm sure. Now the graphics are amazing, especially since this was one of the earlier games for the 360. I, at most, would recommend renting the game. but if you insist on buying it, I'm sure you'll make it at least one time through
