    This is Capcom in fine and original fettle, with a gut-punch of a shooter that's guaranteed to thaw out your wintry fingers. [Mar 2008, p.104]

    A decent enough game at heart, but it's still relying on looks over thrills. [Mar 2008, p.82]

    Had the Playstation 3 version of Lost Planet been released as a launch game of the console, it would probably have gotten less critisism. In the meantime many better games have passed it by, which makes this one just another shooter. No one will get sleepless nights from this title.

    Rating is based on the multi-player mode on the Xbox360. Have not had a chance to try it on the PS3, but assume it about the same. Single player mode has some difficulty issues but is still fun. Overall though the Multi-player is where this game shines! Great graphics, loads of different weapons, lots of unique maps and just great overall gameplay (especially multiplayer). The price of $39 is also a big plus. Check this game out!… Expand

    If you really need to play this game then rent it. There's the occasional set piece and boss fight that kept me entertained, but the gameplay is very slow for a 3rd Gen shooter. There's so many glitches in the game that you'll end up throwing your pad at the wall, poor storyline and sound, with a difficulty level that makes no sense. Avoid buying this game but worth half an hour of your life.… Expand

    I have played the xbox 360 version which i thoroughly enjoyed, however this version needs to be filed under the 'lazy devloopers section' as not only does it look far inferior to the beautifull 360 version, but the terrible slowdown is apparent from the get go and is so bad at times it makes it difficult to defeat the bosses in the game. Shame on you capcom for making a pretty decent game look and play like crap on the ps3. Im no Microsoft fanyboy i own both systems but this is just terrible!!!… Expand
