    This game definately has its perks. Multiplayer and coop are so obviously implied and encouraged that I felt like it was required. Some people describe the faults of a game as control issues or graphical issues. This game does it better in both of these areas and we still have poeple complaining about how they presented movements and the animations which were actually better than before.This game definately has its perks.

The one problem I had with the story is the actual storyline! The story made no sense and I think that they made it as a last minute option.
    They might as well call it Lost Story 2.
    The biggest assets to this game though are graphics and the coop.

    It's hard to recommend this game if you have no friends. However, if you're able to jump online with a few shooter-competent friends, LP2 can be loads of fun.

    Lost Planet is a beautiful game, let's just get that out of the way. The character models and lighting look superb running on the silky smooth improved MT framework engine. Aside from that LP2 is all show. I, like everyone else wanted to like this game, but it seems the more hours I put into it, the more the lackluster design implementations stick out like a sore thumb. It seems that Lost Planet is a beautiful game, let's just get that out of the way. The character models and lighting look superb running on the silky smooth improved MT framework engine. Aside from that LP2 is all show. I, like everyone else wanted to like this game, but it seems the more hours I put into it, the more the lackluster design implementations stick out like a sore thumb. It seems that basic design decision were botched favor of visual prowess. The shooting mechanics are solid enough, and unlike some I don't mind the controls. I actually think the with bounding area enabled and sensitivity and aiming speed upped by one, the aiming is precise and enjoyable. The weapons and mechs can be a blast to play around with, but again the fun seems to be sucked out of it all because of some stupid decisions. The grappling hook is all but useless albeit reaching high places. It would have been nice to be able to grapple mid air, or not get knocked off your path by one tiny obstruction. After playing the recent and incredibly fun Just Cause 2, perhaps my expectations in a grappling hook are a bit high. But In LP2 it just feels sluggish and poorly implimented, as it did in the first LP. A reasonably thought out narrative is non existent in LP2, which instead feels like a series of concurrent multiplayer maps streamlined into a campaign. The gunplay is solid but lacks any real punch, instead becoming point at the orange spot on the alkrid and hold RT. To add the the list of faults is the overall feel of movement, which in my opinion is unforgivable in a next-gen game. Players move sluggishly, and instead of fast fluid dodges, jumps and reloads, your stuck with choppy repetitive animations. You cannot continue to run after jumping, upon landing you are stopped for a split second. Also baffling is the fact you cannot reload your weapon on the move, instead being forced to stop and reload creating an ever so juicy target for the akrid. It is also possible get knocked off your feet only to be knocked down again and again each time you try to stand. Be prepared to endure many frustrating deaths that seems to come out of nowhere. With everything considered you could do much worse for a fun weekend co-op rental. There is some enjoyment to be had here, but after all the hyping and the time between titles, is Lost Planet to the killer app it should of been? I think not.… Expand

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

    Not a good game at all for 2 reasons. First, the controls. They are just a little to sensitive for my preference. Other people might like the controls, but I don't. Secondly, the story. Boring!!! It's the same thing over and over again, and the fact that one little obstruction can send you flying is annoying as well. Buy a different game for $20, this one isn't worth it.

    I really loved lost planet 2. from the game-play, soundtrack, customization, weapons, storyline etc it was great. the downside about LP2 is the fact it had no matchmaking or party system to group up with ur online buddies. If they dont implement this in the next installment it will be a failure.

    This game features 4 player co-op which the servers are down, at least on PC, and used to have multiplayer, customization is also a nice addition. The AI teammates are not bad and feel like companions although you have to play a bit slower with them, their is an option to use them or less of them though they do not affect you negatively other than they pick up weapons and some have their own custom load-out.
    The games does have some difficulty spikes, and very annoying moments some of which you are screwed.

    We simply can't stress this enough; if you're planning to play this game on your lonesome, STAY AWAY; if you're all about the human co-op and the multiplayer modes go ahead and jump right in. This is undoubtedly some gamers' idea of blasting heaven; it just isn't quite ours.

    At its core it's a potentially great action game and it's very good-looking, but it explains itself so incredibly poorly and has such an awkward structure and poor checkpointing that a lot of the fun is ruined by interminable frustration – not to mention the fact that it's basically unplayable as a single-player game.

    Lost Planet's sophomore effort attempts to improve on past faults while shifting direction into an entirely new territory, but the overall feeling is muted. The game can be an enjoyable, fun adventure, but only if you're willing to share the experience with friends (or strangers).
