    Amazing game!The original was by no means any less awesome than this game,this version just has a lot more replay value and is such a joy to play!$60 for this game would be a steal,so picking it up for $5 at Game stop is downright super awesome.I did buy this game when it first came out at it's original price and I felt lucky,it's just that I beat it and moved on.Buy this game cause it's got value but more importantly it's got quality screaming from all parts.9.5 Expand

    The single player is old-school action gameplay with current console technology. And the multiplayer aspect has alot of maps, modes and weapons that are fun to play on and with. I would give it a 10 but that would be too biased in my part. So a 9 is the worst I can give it.

    Beautiful game to be seen in motion. Explosion and particle effects will make you gawk (if sometimes in excess). Rarer effects such as onscreen motion blur and a beautifully smooth animations make Lost Planet quite the looker. Storyline is rather weak, but it exists, just use your imagination. Gameplay is where this excels, pure arcade action. If you're looking for something deeper, I can see that LP would not be best suited for your fancy, but if you just want to blow crap up and look awesome, this is the way to go. Multiplayer is good, but few people will appreciate it. The game is cheap, just buy it and see what you think, there isn't much to lose! Expand

  1. A worthwhile bargain purchase for hardcore LP fans and for anyone who missed the title the first time around, but this is not going to knock everyone off their feet nor is it a "must play" for anyone with less than a fanatical interest in the original.
  2. It's the same game as before, but better. Lost Planet isn't perfect, but it looks good and is certainly different from the other third-person shooters out there. [Issue#34, p.97]
  3. Overall LPECCE is something of a contradiction. While its additional features are aimed at the hardcore lovers of tundran gaming, the fact that it is incompatible with the original Lost Planet is mystifying. Forcing players to start from scratch, with their only reward being some more achievements is an unnecessary irritation.
