very good game!!! i dont really mind the minor flaws they are not that much of a bother. game can get boring if you dont have friends to play with though and multiplayer sucks.

Lost Planet is a beautiful game, let's just get that out of the way. The character models and lighting look superb running on the silky smooth improved MT framework engine. Aside from that LP2 is all show. I, like everyone else wanted to like this game, but it seems the more hours I put into it, the more the lackluster design implementations stick out like a sore thumb. It seems that basic design decision were botched favor of visual prowess. The shooting mechanics are solid enough, and unlike some I don't mind the controls. I actually think the with bounding area enabled and sensitivity and aiming speed upped by one, the aiming is precise and enjoyable. The weapons and mechs can be a blast to play around with, but again the fun seems to be sucked out of it all because of some stupid decisions. The grappling hook is all but useless albeit reaching high places. It would have been nice to be able to grapple mid air, or not get knocked off your path by one tiny obstruction. After playing the recent and incredibly fun Just Cause 2, perhaps my expectations in a grappling hook are a bit high. But In LP2 it just feels sluggish and poorly implimented, as it did in the first LP. A reasonably thought out narrative is non existent in LP2, which instead feels like a series of concurrent multiplayer maps streamlined into a campaign. The gunplay is solid but lacks any real punch, instead becoming point at the orange spot on the alkrid and hold RT. To add the the list of faults is the overall feel of movement, which in my opinion is unforgivable in a next-gen game. Players move sluggishly, and instead of fast fluid dodges, jumps and reloads, your stuck with choppy repetitive animations. You cannot continue to run after jumping, upon landing you are stopped for a split second. Also baffling is the fact you cannot reload your weapon on the move, instead being forced to stop and reload creating an ever so juicy target for the akrid. It is also possible get knocked off your feet only to be knocked down again and again each time you try to stand. Be prepared to endure many frustrating deaths that seems to come out of nowhere. With everything considered you could do much worse for a fun weekend co-op rental. There is some enjoyment to be had here, but after all the hyping and the time between titles, is Lost Planet to the killer app it should of been? I think not.… Expand

While this game has its faults, no story, some questionable control design, no drop in/out co-op, poor AI team mates, however teaming up with people whether friends or randoms and taking down a huge akrid is a whole lot of fun. By this game for co-op, the online is fun and solid however some frustration linked to all online shooters (cheap kills/deaths, invincible while rolling causing constant roll fights) the character progress, ranks, customization, and unlocks are all surprisingly addictive. It is a good game which had potential to be great, it makes some mistakes which is why it isn't for everyone. I am a casual player and teaming up with a group to take down the huge bosses is a lot of fun.… Expand

I Sadly I only liked a few things about it, Frank West and Albert Wesker. Hey it would have received a 7 if it actually kept me interested. Not a terrible game, not a great game. However the demo, receives a 9. The demo was kick-ass. The game itself is okay.

Go BUY THIS GAME NOW!! because to be honest.. Lost Planet 2 is BY FAR the MOST UNDERRATED GAMES EVER!!!! ØŒThe Story is AMAZING!! The gameplay is very good I dont know why people hated it... Tbh The gameplay and the story makes it ome the best games this gen... It very long game too long game too.. I finished it in 36 hours and it will take you even longer if you tried to platinum it

It's hard to recommend this game if you have no friends. However, if you're able to jump online with a few shooter-competent friends, LP2 can be loads of fun. True, the story is impossible to follow and the game does suffer from all the design flaws the critics gripe about, but what it does right, it does VERY right. The environments are beautiful, the level design is as good or better than anything else out there, and the difficulty curve is such that unless you and your buddies come up with a plan, work together, and take your time working through the levels, this game will be impossible. Personally, I like it when a game forces you to be smart about what your doing which LP2 does well.… Expand

Great looking game just like everyone says and the musucal score is fantastic but there are more then a few faults with the game. everyone has mentioned the controls but one thing not mentioned is how totally awful Japan is at writing stories. I past the game and I have not clue as to what happened to why I was doing anything. I will give them credit, it didn't have an ass kicking school girl, gigantic swords, gay dudes with white/purple feathered hair, father issues, quivering eyes or a girl the guy liked but didn't admit it. The multiplayer aspect was really cool where you had to work as a team to operate certain machines and weapons but I think this game is more of a sign of good things to come then a classic.… Expand

I dont normally give extreme marks at either end of the scale,but this is a rare 10/10 for me!.. I'm really struggling to understand the lukewarm marks given to this game.. This has the be the MOST UNDERATED game,in the history og games EVER! in my opinion,, Good long Campaign-Check,4 player Campaign Co-Op-Check,Multiplayer modes-Check,Big guns-Check,BiiiG enemies-Check,Mechs-Check,Grappling Hooks-Check,Character leveling & multiple things to unluck-Check. Damn,whats NOT to like about this game!? This game is perfect as far as i'm concerned,& is more fun than should legally be allowed.. & the reception this game has got,is the biggest injustice in gaming i've ever seen..… Expand

This game was a disappointment I loved the first one, the first one was the first shooter I have ever played and the second one made me wonder what happened? I dont understand how you can screw up a perfectly good game like that. The story boring and is the same thing over and over again. the splitscreen is horrible i can barley see my character and the multiplayer is just not as fun as the first one.… Expand

Awesome boss design. Awesome co-op gameplay. Too bad the online lobby system fails. The split screen is awful. And the online lobby system fails. I really wanted to love this game :(

Not a good game at all for 2 reasons. First, the controls. They are just a little to sensitive for my preference. Other people might like the controls, but I don't. Secondly, the story. Boring!!! It's the same thing over and over again, and the fact that one little obstruction can send you flying is annoying as well. Buy a different game for $20, this one isn't worth it.

my favourite game of the generation. i think it isn't understand for the general public, its a personal´s game and very charismatic. Everything involving this planet is fantastic, its design and his world teeming imagination everywhere. It is certainly a cool game with identity, in a clone genre and already so trite. I only hope a third release of this great game.
