    It's the same game as before, but better. Lost Planet isn't perfect, but it looks good and is certainly different from the other third-person shooters out there. [Issue#34, p.97]

    There are new Achievements, and lots of new things to tinker with, but not a lot of incentive to plod through the campaign missions again or start over ranking up your multiplayer stats.

    Compared to the plethora of games that came after it, and indeed some that came before, Lost Planet: extreme Condition - Colonies Edition feels dated. But, at its bleak and frozen heart lies a rewarding experience.

    The visuals still look great a year and a half later, but the controls are still sluggish and the campaign is over too quickly.

    Overall LPECCE is something of a contradiction. While its additional features are aimed at the hardcore lovers of tundran gaming, the fact that it is incompatible with the original Lost Planet is mystifying. Forcing players to start from scratch, with their only reward being some more achievements is an unnecessary irritation.

    Lost Planet: Colonies Edition has all of the same problems the original game had, only this time with a cheaper price point and a ton of new content.

    Good game with one massive problem. The game is actually registered as an entirely different game to the normal version on the same console.Good game with one massive problem. The game is actually registered as an entirely different game to the normal version on the same console. They completely split the playerbase and the amount of people to pick up the colonies edition is so few it will always be hard to play online. Myself and a friend didnt realise this was the case. We heard the multiplayer was pretty good and played the multiplayer demo which is still on Live. We assumed colonies was like any other special edition and just included the download content from before. One of us bought colonies and the other bought a pre owned copy of the original only to find we had the same game but couldnt play each other. Seems like such a huge mistake to make for one of the worlds biggest publishers Capcom. Its not worth the hassle.… Full Review »

    Beautiful game to be seen in motion. Explosion and particle effects will make you gawk (if sometimes in excess). Rarer effects such as Beautiful game to be seen in motion. Explosion and particle effects will make you gawk (if sometimes in excess). Rarer effects such as onscreen motion blur and a beautifully smooth animations make Lost Planet quite the looker. Storyline is rather weak, but it exists, just use your imagination. Gameplay is where this excels, pure arcade action. If you're looking for something deeper, I can see that LP would not be best suited for your fancy, but if you just want to blow crap up and look awesome, this is the way to go. Multiplayer is good, but few people will appreciate it. The game is cheap, just buy it and see what you think, there isn't much to lose!… Full Review »
