  • Summary: In Lost Planet, human snow pirates navigate VS (Vital Suits) through hostile ice-covered environments, fighting against the indigenous Akrid creatures for the precious thermal energy they need to survive. For one such pilot named Wayne, death almost seemed imminent until he was fortunately rescued. However, he can only remember a few fragments of his past including the slaying of his father by the monstrous beings. Yet under the veil of ice, a devious plan has been set into motion for the termination of all Akrid and snow pirates alike. What really happened to Wayne? Who is plotting the destructive scheme? Encounter valuable allies and dangerous enemies on Wayne's search for the truth. [Capcom]… Expand

    From the well planned and executed single player campaign to the never-ending online battles, it’s one of those rare games where you feel like you got every penny’s worth and then some. [JPN Import]

    It's to Lost Planet's credit that the skillful handling of the difficulty and level design puts the player in a state of desperation for almost the entire length of the game.

    A great game that suffers from a few bad design decisions. The graphics are excellent by any standard with only v-synching issues preventing them from looking truly amazing. The enemy design and amount of action they deliver makes for great gameplay that is hampered by control mechanics that get in the way of the experience.

    Sleek graphics and a fast start can't mask what's an entertaining but ultimately disposable diversion. [Feb. 2007, p.90]

    The game is good. The graphics for its time I found really cool and the explosion around the screen made me want to just stare in awe ( I couldn't because I would die) The scenery was excellent and the boss battles outrageous. I found the story line entertaining and made me feel like I was there with the characters and I really don't understand the complaints of it being hard to understand ????? The game does have its faults including that in 70% of all the time in the boss battles you could not move as the opponents just bashed at you again and again. The movement was way too slow, okay we get it is ice but his running is like walking! The zip line....oh the zip line. If you fell of a cliff or anything like that you dangled. Ok. Thats good right? WRONG. You could do nothing while dangling except to get shot. Not only that but you also have to wait for a moment when he falls and when he gets back up. He keeps constantly stumbling making the contorls just akward. Worth the $60 bucks.… Expand

    This game was decent. I liked the setting and creatures but game got repetitive and story wasn't that interesting.

    Unfortunately, as with so many games developed in Japan, the complete lack of balance in boss battles ruins this game. It's not just the difficulty level, it's the hackneyed cheap trick of creating the illusion of challenge by removing any control of the player character for 95% of the battle while the game beats up on you at will. In boss battles, don't be surprised to see hundreds of Mission Failed screens while exercising control over your character for mere seconds at a time. I finished it, but have no intention of ever going near this poor excuse for design ever again.… Expand
