Always crashes in first mission after first enemy contact. Who minds directx 10 if the game isn't even stable in directx 9? Unplayable until fixed.

Complete waste of $40. The motion blur feature is very annoying and draws heavily on your PC's resources. Turning off motion blur gave me a 20 FPS increase and made the game a little more enjoyable. Knowing what I know now, I would have avoided this game. Online gameplay is horrible. Once you begin to get shot at, you can't even fire back.

So I payed 5 dollars for this game because it was on sale... I'm considering asking for my money back. This is a classic console monkey very inline with your gaylo and other ripe off/dumbed down version of PC games. The plus side is it has good graphics and a decent story line. On the downside its very badly ported to PC. The only way to really picture how badly is your basically running in debug mode. The coding in classic console monkey fashion is sloping. It requires a very powerful PC in order to run on max setting. If they had ported it correctly and coded it correctly they could have easily reduced the requirements by 1/3 maybe as much as 1/2. The control are clunky and their is no tech support as far as I know at the time of this review. The AI is impressive...impressively stupid. If your a hardcore console monkey who likes gaylo and must have your console games on PC go for it. If your a PC gamers dig through your old games whip out DOOM2. Yeah the graphics aren't as pretty but the AI is a lot smarter.… Expand

Very dissapointing title, another console to PC port fails to create anything more than dissapointment in boundless ammounts. The fact that it retains the X360 control scheme and is riddled with bugs smacks of cheapness when the game ships for $49.99 on Steam. That said there are glimpses of greatness and the visual prowess is impressive.

Pretty bad crossover to the PC. Need an update to play offline. I can go on and on...About the only thing going well for the game is the graphics. Gameplay itself is sketchy, BIG WASTE OF MONEY FOR PC Gamers.

Why do I have to use Steam to play this? I would already be playing if I was just using my own computer with no internet funny-business. There is No Reason that is valid - to me - to force the owners of this game to use Steam. It lacks intellect to assume that everyone will blindly follow the dictates of pompous blackguards with dollar signs for morals. HA!

It's obvious they made the game part first and then they made up the dumbest storyline you have ever heard what a joke. A planet where the snow is 20 feet deep but there's cars parked all over the place I can go on and on but the whole story is just ridiculous. The graphics are OK not a real difference between direct can or direct ten or nine. The Ai is a joke I think they spent more money on advertisement and buying reviews than they did in making the game.… Expand

I had high expectantions for this game before it was rleased but when played the whole game through I simply found very little on it that was satisfactory. Boss battles were more frustrating than anything else and vehicles/robots felt like a chore to ride while the stages themselves were just plain boring. Capcom could learn a thing or two from games like Ninja Gaiden, Gears of War and God of War before designing a game this bad.… Expand

Steam is a pure waste of time. For the last 2 hours I could not play the game as this stupid Steam program fails to avtivate my Game bought for 79USd 50Euro as the server is to busy... For that price I can expect to play the game when I want to. What did I got so far: being spammed with adds by Steam. DONT BY ANY PROGRAM BASED ON STEAM!

First impression: omg what's with this horrible response time! even with all settings at the lowest there is half a second delay between moving the mouse or hitting a key and a reaction in the game (and no it's not just my computer). Then after a short while you realize that it's a really amateur game. graphics ok, but everything else mediocre. could the dialogs be any more awkward? are those actors speaking? and the gameplay gets boring fast. nothing new nothing special, just shoot some aliens.… Expand

Control in the game has to be the worst ever.

When starting the game, I must update the game online, it's really waste my time(cause by the low connection speed), and I can't play game without finishing update.T his method of updating really sucks.

Nothing worse than having steam d/c you when you get to the end of level and haveta do it all over again. And the worst thing is that multiplayer doesn't work for most people.

Good gameplay , bad MP-Modus, no chat. Lost all my rank after a unprofessional update! Multiplayer-Mod and Server-connectings are bad.

Steam is totally useless. I would give the game a 7 if it were not for steam but the constant updating, using 130mb ram and always trying to get online just dragges the game down to steams level.

After purchasing this game it would not install on my 64bit xp system. I upgraded directx and did several changes suggested in forums online. It would not run. I upgraded to Vista 64 and it still will not run under directx 10. I have a 512meg x1800 Radeon pci eXpress x16 graphics card, 4gigs of dual channel DDR2 at 800mhz, and a socket AM2, AMD Athlon 64 FX 62 running at 3.02 ghz with refrigerated liquid cooling, and it tells me my system was not good enough. Eventually by working on it for several hours I got the game to work under Vista with the Directx 9.0c version. Then after playing for about an hour I was disgusted with the gameplay. It is not suited to use with a keyboard and mouse. The excitement was just not there like it is in other shooters. I think the third person view ruined it for me. Just makes it seem shabby. In effect, I did not like the game at all and wish I never would have purchased it. It was error prone and too system demanding without the level of enjoyment I was hoping for.… Expand

Good graphics, cool weapons, seriously let down by poor gameplay, he seems to have to pause or stop to do basic things. Why does it take forever to get into a VM and start to use it? Why does performing actions need incredible precision (i don't know how many times i removed a weapon from a VM just trying to get into it).

The fact that you can't it directly play it on pc stinks...you pay good money for it and have to go through "steam" i don't want steam, i just wanna play the game. Feel very ripped off...steam doesn't even work half the time. gave it a two cause it has a nice cover...otherwise garbage.

I bought this on Steam on the PC for $5. It was $4 too much! If you are tempted to buy this steaming pile of gameplay think twice. If you want to play a game that feels like playing arcade Virtua Cop 1 on your PC, then this is the game for you. It feels lifeless and disconnected.

You have been warned! Save your money!

Great, another game with a crap engine. I have 2.50Ghz 2GB of ram and 2 8600 GeForce's. And this engine lags even on lowest settings, well I didn't lower the res otherwise it would suck but my pc isn't crap because it can run pretty good games. The engine sucks its laggy especially with a billion light fx, the controls are hard since it is based on an Xbox 360 game. ITS 7GB AND THAT IS ALOT.. I spent most of the time finding out where the hell to go since it is so confusing and I uninstalled the game on the 2nd part since it sucked so much, waste of time and space.… Expand

Steam ruined this game. First, it took about 20 minutes to install. Though I can't really complain about that. It is a big game. But then I went and tried to play, only to find out that I could not play until it updated. This update is still going after about two hours. It's at 94% now and I have 1.5Mbit download speed. Also, it took several tries to make it install. The installation is handled by Steam and it is buggy as shit. I don't care how good the game is. I'm going to see if I can exchange it for something else. I'll grab a copy of Lost Planet off the pirate bay if anyone ever manages to remove Steam from it.… Expand

This game will not run on windows 2000, so I have to give it a 1. There is no reason why this game can not run on XP and 2K, since the two operating systems are very close to each other. Upon start up, the game just goes away, no error message no nothing. At the very least the programmers could have added an error - "this game only runs on XP."

Badly made game! So many glitches and bugs in it. Runs like crap on the pc and Capcom wasn't smart enough to make two versions, one for xbox and one for pc so everything is messed up when played on pc. Don't Buy!!

Had to wait 3 days for some card drivers for it to work with 8 series cards. Then to take the biscuit, the multi player dosen't work for half the LP community. I bought half a game and feel like i've been ripped off. Tried all the port forwarding crap on the forums but that did nothing. Hate the game.

Only having problems with this game, it just does not want to run under vista. I have no hardware problems (computer is new), even cannot run it as admin.

From what i've seen of the game it looks great.but i spent more time logging onto steam servers an getting updates than i do playing the game . bottom line is ,if steams gonna support a game at least make so plp. can play a game they paid for.this is as bad as ea games taking over ultima online , they've just took the fun out of the play.

It's a good game in its core, but thats it. I got it free from a friend, but i wouldn't recommended buying it unless it was on sale for less than $10. The engine is laggy, controls are shaky, and the storyline is off. I think the aspect that makes me go back to this game maybe once every two months is the fact that its a 3rd-person shooter. Just mediocre in every aspect. Plus, the online experience isn't even worth trying.… Expand

this game is unfortunately less than mediocre it would be better if the life lasted longer but it is way too easy to die. plus capcom didnt bother to really convert the xbox 360 version to the pc making controling the character akward at best. overall, i would not recommend to a friend.

Why would a crappy port like this ever be allowed to be sold? I got it free as a present and still want to uninstall it. Crappy controls and the engine lags on a quad-core PC on lowest settings, it's just designed to NEVER RUN RIGHT. Controls as mentioned already are not good, very hard to aim or steer a VS. Guns are unrealistically balanced out and overall the idea of the game is stupid with the thermal energy, you're always on the clock. If a planet is that cold there would be ways to live extended amounts of time without extract of alien monsters. Lastly story, typical Japanese 'long-haired hero goes through trials to find out he is a man after all' kind of story. He even holds a grudge against a monster that got his dad. A grudge on an animal is a pre-juvenile sort of thing. Overall the game itself is not the best, mounted on top of a super ineffecient engine that will never run fast and you got the makings of a crappy game no one should buy. EVER.… Expand
