    Delivers plenty of stunning-looking, innovative gameplay to outshine its weaknesses, especially considering the very attractive $39.95 price. [Mar 2008, p.86]

    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is a powerful, bombastic exercise in mayhem.

    It looks good, plays well and is a bit too short.

    An unnecessary retread of one of last year's great titles. While still retaining much of the Xbox 360 version's features, it lacks any of the extra polish and content that the additional time in development could've brought.

    We can't help but notice the lack of improvements in this translation. An opportunity has clearly been lost here, despite remaining a good game.

    Capcom has created a PS3 version of Lost Planet that includes extraordinarily limited bonus content and which doesn't run very well.

    Had the Playstation 3 version of Lost Planet been released as a launch game of the console, it would probably have gotten less critisism. In the meantime many better games have passed it by, which makes this one just another shooter. No one will get sleepless nights from this title.

    Rating is based on the multi-player mode on the Xbox360. Have not had a chance to try it on the PS3, but assume it about the same.

    Single    Rating is based on the multi-player mode on the Xbox360. Have not had a chance to try it on the PS3, but assume it about the same.

    Single player mode has some difficulty issues but is still fun. Overall though the Multi-player is where this game shines!

    Great graphics, loads of different weapons, lots of unique maps and just great overall gameplay (especially multiplayer).

    The price of $39 is also a big plus.

    Check this game out!    … Expand

    Lost Planet contains a fun single player with a great multiplayer. The added mechanics work well.

There's the occasional set piece and boss fight that kept me entertained, but the gameplay is very slow for a 3rd Gen shooter. There's so many glitches in the game that you'll end up throwing your pad at the wall, poor storyline and sound, with a difficulty level that makes no sense. Avoid buying this game but worth half an hour of your life.… Expand

    I have played the xbox 360 version which i thoroughly enjoyed, however this version needs to be filed under the 'lazy devloopersI have played the xbox 360 version which i thoroughly enjoyed, however this version needs to be filed under the 'lazy devloopers section' as not only does it look far inferior to the beautifull 360 version, but the terrible slowdown is apparent from the get go and is so bad at times it makes it difficult to defeat the bosses in the game. Shame on you capcom for making a pretty decent game look and play like crap on the ps3. Im no Microsoft fanyboy i own both systems but this is just terrible!!!… Expand
