    But the gameplay is effective and comes with two major features that makes Lost Planet different from others TPS out there : Mechs (at the time there wasn't Titanfall or Advanced Warfare) and the energy system (that ad some survival flavor to the game). Fighting giant Akrids/Mechs in your own Vital-Suit (aka: mech) is truly enjoyable.

    In conclusion if you like TPS and don't care much about graphics, I'd advice Lost Planet as it is pretty cheap right now and offers some nice hours of entertainment.    … Expand

    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    Rating is based on the multi-player mode on the Xbox360.

    The price of $39 is also a big plus.

    I 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.

    The demo gave us a big taste of what to come, and what happened is we got a very sour almost bitter tasting flavor at the end, not to mention the horrid servers fiasco, but other than that we got a watered down version of all the other versions that have been released, we already know the PS3 is capable of much much more from already have played games like Uncharted, while the game seemsThe demo gave us a big taste of what to come, and what happened is we got a very sour almost bitter tasting flavor at the end, not to mention the horrid servers fiasco, but other than that we got a watered down version of all the other versions that have been released, we already know the PS3 is capable of much much more from already have played games like Uncharted, while the game seems to be decent, Capcom just did a poor overall job on bringing the franchise to the PS3, sorry but this one stinks.… Expand

    If you really need to play this game then rent it. 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.

    I liked it a lot!
    There not many things i didn´t enjoy about this game. The huge enemies are awesome, gunplay is solid, piloting a mech felt great. Overall i really liked the setting of the game, the only thing that disappionted me was the endboss, that felt rushed...

    The game is fun doesn't have any common sense the story or is to simple. You'll have fun with the game but eventually you'll get bored because is too repetitive, also is much better play in Xbox 360 than PS3 I don't know why.....

    No se, este juego me parecio un meh constante. A mi gusto es demasiado aburrido, creo que hay mejores maneras de gastar el dinero que en este Lost Planet.

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

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

    The odd mindblowing set-piece aside, Lost Planet is rarely truly exciting - just functional. [Mar 2008, p.64]

    This is Capcom in fine and original fettle, with a gut-punch of a shooter that's guaranteed to thaw out your wintry fingers. [Mar 2008, p.104]
