    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 theGood 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.… Expand

    This game is only worth buying if you didnt pick it up the first time round. This company should be working on better titles not re-making old ones.

    The single player is old-school action gameplay with current console technology. And the multiplayer aspect has alot of maps, modes and weapons that are fun to play on and with. I would give it a 10 but that would be too biased in my part. So a 9 is the worst I can give it.

    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, Beautiful game to be seen in motion.

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!… Expand

    A worthwhile bargain purchase for hardcore LP fans and for anyone who missed the title the first time around, but this is not going to knock everyone off their feet nor is it a "must play" for anyone with less than a fanatical interest in the original.

    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]

    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.
