    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.

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. 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.
    Just dont play it if you dont have any friends    … Expand

By this game for co-op, the online is fun and solid however some frustration linked to all online shooters (cheap kills/deaths, invincible while rolling causing constant roll fights) the character progress, ranks, customization, and unlocks are all surprisingly addictive. It is a good game which had potential to be great, it makes some mistakes which is why it isn't for everyone. I am a casual player and teaming up with a group to take down the huge bosses is a lot of fun.… Expand

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

    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.

    Having played Lost Planet 2 repeatedly multiple times, I can say that is has great replay value, while the story's not that sophisticated it is alright. but for a 2010 game it is in fact quite beautiful, and the gamplay is interesting with normal and easy being easy and the real challenge being hard+
    aiming for A's is the goals.

    aiming for A's is the goals. Though the bosses are ok, they don't feel like bosses, besides the Gordiant and Akrid-X which feel pretty good the others are not as much.
    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.
    On PC if you can get around the windows with Microsoft live, get a LAN software, hit up your friends, and slaughter the Akrid.    … Expand

    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).
