    This game is one of the better games to come out lately in my opinion, All this talk about mouse lag and shoddy action is bullsh*t. I have never experienced crashes, mouse lag, or any other major problems with this game what so ever. Although I did get very frustrated on level 5.

    What an awesome game! Refreshing story line that takes you into more than just a shot em up but makes you part of the script. Doom 3, Half Life 2 and now Lost Planet. It's good to be a gamer. :O)

    I had many years to see something that will keep my eyes opened until tears comes out, because I stuck on the screen! If you have a powerfull machine this game is for you, the graphics are gorgeous at max settings!!! The sound is very good and the giant enemies will not let your hands rest..

    Great game looks better then anything i ever saw before, online play fun as hell but needs to be worked on so u can see how many people are loged in to play and chat would be really really really helpful but besides that the online play makes me lose sleep in a good way.

    The controls for the computer was really easy to use and even when I got a game control is made it more funnier to play then it was with a keyboard and mouse. Just he weapons themselves are kool and the mercs are really nicely detailed.

    A once-reasonable game for the PC is now a distinctly mediocre game for the x .

    Great Gameplay, Great Graphics, I thought the campaign was neat. Online could use some help. This could be an awsome online/lan game if their online had more features. (Friends list, Better ranking system, ect.) Steam friends doesn't even work when your playing in dx10 mode. Hopefully a patch will fix that.

    Es ist ein supatolles Spiel ich liebe es die weilt wie sie dargestellt ist atemberaubend die Akriden sind schön animiert das schnee gestöber herlich, das Leveldesign auch sehr gut gewählt aber mein persönlicher höhepunkt waren und sind die VS hammer die dinger dann dieses Grandiose Stecksystem gefällt mir ausserordndlich gut.

    Best graphics ever! My girlfriend has the Xbox 360 version and when I saw this superb graphics, I wanted this game too for my PC (I don't like consoles). I had to spend me a lot of money for hardware (GeForce 8800 GTS OC @650Mhz, C2D OC@3300Mhz, etc) and software (Vista Ultimate and the game itself) but it was absolutley worth it. The Xbox 360 version kicks ass, but the PC version Best graphics ever!

The Xbox 360 version kicks ass, but the PC version with DX10 looks even better. First I had some problems (about 10 fps) but with the latest video driver I have about 40-60 frames on my 22" WS TFT @1650*1080. Everything on max settings, except 2xFSAA, medium HDR and low Shadows. I'm looking forward for the next Lost Planet game. CAPCOM rulez Expand

    OMG. This game is crazy. Giant monsters on every level. The story is excellent. Pirates, monsters with orange thingy's, having to stay alive by collecting those orange thingy's. C'mon everyone. it's a really good game.

    Beautiful game to behold. Great action. The story is a little hokey but the cut scenes are gorgeous. Forget about the keyboard and mouse. This game is a console game and should only be played with an X360 controller.

    Great game. Super fun. I like the play mechanics, presentation and overall experience. Totally worth playing. I play tons of games and always have - this is a quality action game, especially at the price ($30).

    I love it, it's a nice break from all my rpg's. Lovely graphics and tons of action, cool explosions and great sound. I like the setting, weapons and the characters. Sure no game is perfect, but this game is good at what it is intened to do... blow things up!

    I've only played the demo on Valve's Steam program, but I can tell you that it was completely awesome. My computer can't quite tackle the graphics though - in other words the game is visually stunning. It has awesome effects (for example, the longer you run through the snow, the more it sticks to your pants), and the boss fights were interesting (there are two you can takeI've only played the demo on Valve's Steam program, but I can tell you that it was completely awesome.

    Sweet game. Get my adrenaline pumped. You need the best hardware on the market to get the full enjoyment. This is a game that will be more enjoyable if you lower the settings to achive the highest framerate. Don

    Its good but you need to give it time, fiddle with the settings and stuff, once you get it just like you want it, its great. You have to think about everything in the story to understand it though, but it is a great arcade shooter, online is killer dispite that there is sometimes very few servers.

    I have noticed that alot of the people tearing the game apart are Xbox360 owners which tells me that either there very bitter about the fact the graphics are enhanced for the PC version or they just have a crappy PC that would have trouble playing Doom 1 never mind anything else, i thought this game was amazing the graphics are great and the sound excellent even my brother who brought and I have noticed that alot of the people tearing the game apart are Xbox360 owners which tells me that either there very bitter about the fact the graphics are enhanced for the PC version or they just have a crappy PC that would have trouble playing Doom 1 never mind anything else, i thought this game was amazing the graphics are great and the sound excellent even my brother who brought and Xbox360 when they first came out prefers this vesion, or maybe its because they getting back at the PC comunity for the up coming version of Gears of War with its extra missions and enhanced graphics. Don't bitch and whine if you don't like it, why did you buy it in the first place after all there was a demo out that you could try BEFORE spending you money. Expand

    If your PC can handle this it looks stunning. I advise you to get a 360 controller for the PC, but then you may as well just buy it for the 360. The game rocks but there is little change from the 360 version. The combat is fluid, fast and delicious!

    Simply amazing! First the negs: YES- it seems to be repetitive, BUT- so are all the other shooter games out there. Also, the AI-is pretty reidiculously dumb. When I first saw the game, I thought " man that's horrible..you have to try and keep yourself alive" but in a way.... the movies "Crank", "StarShipTroopers", the game "Devil May Cry", and a few others come to mind- and after a Simply amazing!

  1. Shot-for-shot this is the same game console players had in January - a fantastic, hard as hell shooter that'll knock your eyes out of your head. But with no new content at all and a lack of the ultra-cool bonus multiplayer maps, we've got to dock it a bit.

    Talk about the old sound and fury saw -- you'll finish Lost Planet too soon and won't go back for seconds. That's really the definition of why not to buy something, isn't it?
  3. Lost Planet's strong single-player campaign stands out, in spite of buggy online functionality and other missteps.
