The story has advancedLost Planet 2 picks up 10 years since the events of the original adventure and the landscape has evolved dramatically. With the success of terraforming activities, the planet's ice has begun to melt, giving way to lush tropical jungles and other new environments. The story has advanced beyond Wayne Holden as players now follow the exploits of their own customized snow pirates on their quest to seize control of E.D.N III. Players move their heroes through different stories creating a truly unique and interactive experience. With this concept, gamers have the opportunity to engage in the story in a more dynamic way as plot threads evolve from various perspectives. The strongest features from the first game returns in Lost Planet 2 making fans feel right at home. In addition to the anchor actions that made the gameplay in Lost Planet a true 3-D experience, Lost Planet 2 allows gamers to gain tactical advantage with a wide variety of new actions. The game also contains a new addition to the enormous Akrids which were a fan-favourite in the first Lost Planet. Beyond the deep single player mode, Lost Planet 2 is loaded with one the most extensive multiplayer campaign seen in a shooter to date. The intense and action packed campaign mode comes with the ability to form teams of up to 4 players online to clear mission objectives with friends. [Capcom]… Expand

    Lost Planet 2 is a splendid action game. The charm of new locations, the cooperative aspect greatly stressed, and the exalting look of MT Framework 2.0 are the main elements of a cool gaming experience.

    Capcom has chosen to make this sequel a cooperative action game, and the result is undoubtedly solid. Playing the main campaign with three friends can give a lot of satisfaction and the boss fights are simply awesome. Unfortunately playing solo you will find a lacking friend AI. Good graphics and a competitive multiplayer mode complete the nice offer of Lost Planet 2.

    If you can weather the campaign's slow start and the game's wildly overwrought menu system, you'll find more than enough incredible content here to satisfy your Akrid-killing, giant robot-piloting fix. [June 2010, p.74]

    Unfortunately its also plagued by some rather serious design flaws that could've been solved if Capcom had taken a look at what the competition was doing. If you can look past that than you'll enjoy this game, but you might have to deal with some frustration along the way.

    A lack of genuine innovation and the presence of persisting issues from the first game is unforgivable and frankly, we expected more.

    Lost Planet 2 has the potential to be a great game, but the different gameplay elements aren't polished enough. So in the end, Lost Planet 2 is a mixture of a lot of stuff, but nothing in the mix is better then mediocre.

    It’s just another deposit of digital cholesterol on a constricting artery that’s one cheeseburger away from being clogged forever by uninspired third-person shooters.

Gameplay was frustrating but after a few patches it was good. Grapple hook; big guns; awesome artwork and awesome environments and boss battles. This game is the stuff of dreams. I have not played LP1 or LP3. Jut part 2 on a Xbox 360. If I could choose ANY game remake for my Ps4 Pro in 2017; it would easily be this game. Extremely underrated!

    This third-person shooter is clunky but not unweildy, the tank-like but oddly mobile controls being a token of Capcom games of the era. AThis third-person shooter is clunky but not unweildy, the tank-like but oddly mobile controls being a token of Capcom games of the era. A robust, arcadey cooperative campaign experience is weighed down only by somewhat inconsistent difficulty trends. While competitive multiplayer and campaign single-player can feel unrewarding a lot of the time, the co-operative multiplayer and expansive character customization options add a lot of replay value to the game. Someone who enjoys the cooperative campaign can easily put in 80 mostly enjoyable hours trying to rack up all the customization options. The boss fights are particularly exhilarating, and the only thing that feels missing is the Akrid Battle game mode from Lost Planet: Colonies Edition. Beautiful graphics and charmingly stiff gameplay are only slightly offset by a campy and often impossible-to-follow plot.… Expand

    Decent game but personally, I did not find it as good as the first one. If it's super cheap then give it a whirl.

    Какая же великолепная    Дерьмо! Это единственное, что приходит мне на ум. При названии Lost Planet 2 у меня начинается стойкий рвотный позыв.
    Какая же великолепная игра была Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, как же я ждал продолжения......., но первое сомнение у меня зародилось, когда сказали, что "в игре будет кооп". Зачем, подумал я, в атмосферной, подчёркиваю АТМОСФЕРНОЙ, сюжетной игре нужен кооп? Ну ладно дань моде, будет сюжет ну добавят кооп. хы.
    Как же я ошибался.
    Capcom обманула всех, она продала нам за цену полной игры мультиплеер от первой части! Ха!
    Никакого сюжета, никаких персонажей, ничего нового. Они умудрились засрать даже геймплей, ё моё, стрелять стало менее приятно! Они умудрились угробить ту великолепную атмосферу, убили полностью!
    Я не знаю такое ощущение, что людям заплатили чтобы они уничтожили свою перспективную франшизу!
    Большего позорища я не припомню!
    Lost Planet 2 это для меня разочарование десятилетия!
    Может я простил бы это Capcom, если бы она назвала эту игру как нибудь скажем "Lost Planet Multiplayer", но это дерьмо официальный сиквел. Который убил франшизу!    … Expand
