    Lost Planet 2 is a nice game, with cool graphics and a sound gameplay. However, it's not as gripping as I expected it to be and thus wasn't thoroughly convincing.

    Despite arriving some months later than the console version, Lost Planet 2 is still a recommended title, very enjoyable thanks to its direct gameplay and with a decent variety y game modes.

    It may not live up to its massive potential, but Lost Planet 2 on the PC is a step in the right direction.

    If you haven't snapped up Lost Planet 2 in a bargain bin some place for consoles, the PC port has been out and runs like a dream.

    Defrosted sequel to the first Lost Planet brings new and interesting jungle environment to the scene. Unfortunately, the sidekick bots are not-so-smart and are awkward to control. [Dec 2010]

    If you've burned through other multiplayer or co-op options, then there might be something for you in Lost Planet 2. The single player campaign is lengthy at around 14 hours with full co-op support and the multiplayer has plenty of maps and modes. Just do yourself a favor: buy some insurance for the controller you'll invariably throw across the room at one of Lost Planet 2's seemingly endless design and interface issues.

    A visually impressive shooter, fine with friends, but avoid this if you're going to be on your own or reliant on randoms.

    Can't decide whether it's a single player game, a co-op game or a tech demo. [Christmas 2010, p.102]

    Sadly, graphics alone can't overshadow Lost Planet 2's abysmal controls or cliched plot, and competitive multiplayer won't tear you away from multiplayer juggernauts such as Call of Duty or Battlefield.

    A game Completely focused on Co-op...to a fault. It's a pain to complete the story with a team AI that doesn't really understand teamworkA game Completely focused on Co-op...to a fault. It's a pain to complete the story with a team AI that doesn't really understand teamwork (even after the update). Graphics are very nice and weapons are not too over exaggerated. Very fun overall. The plot is very Japanese. Almost straight manga style with an offensive view of other cultures or females. BUY THIS GAME IF: -You are all about Co-op. -You can turn off your brain to a piecemeal plot or approach it with humor (MST3k fans already have the skill) -You like lots of guns and mechs. -you like to customize. AVOID IF: -You are looking for good PvP. -You want a complete plot. -You are easily offended by stereotypes. -You abhor grinding for weapons/gear.
    OVERALL: Grab 3 friends when this is on sale and have a good time.    … Full Review »
