    I love how difficult this game is. A boss battle can take up to 4 hours to beat. It is frustrating until you actually beat it, and then you feel a sense of accomplishment. The story doesn't blow me away, but the weapons and fights are quite awesome. I think some people were prepared to diss this game from the start. It is my 3rd favorite 460 game behind Gears of War and F.E.A.R.

    Boss fights are just total and utter carnage, with explosions and smoke everywhere. Forget Gears of War, this is miles better!

    I beat this game a week ago in single-player, and it was the most incredible experience I have ever had while playing a video game. The "professional" reviews it has recieved so far are bullsh.t (besides Gamebrink's and the official xbox magazine). Fantastic story, gameplay, graphics, and it was just plain fun as hell.

    Beautiful and fun in an arcade not realistic way. Games this good are rare. My new favourite 360 game. And why do some of the reviews undervalue the multiplayer. It's great. Maps are interesting and you can change the layouts of each map. Also the free CE map is very good as well. Plenty of life in the multiplayer maybe more than Gow's to be truthful.

    I honestly loved this game. The graphics are great and I enjoyed the gameplay. Some people are complaining about the game being mostly snow, but that's what the planet is. A snow covered planet, no forests or beaches. As for multiplayer, it's one of the best I've played in a while.

    Ok, take that review and COMPLETELY reverse it for the truth. I'm not even sure what game that guy is playing. Everything in this game shines, from the graphics, animations, gameplay, story, and online. It's a total masterpiece that has you completely hooked as soon as you first get to control your guy in single player, and multiplayer it has you wanting to play match after match, especially if you are playing ranked matches, because it is awesome to see your rank go up and up as you play more.

    I can't reccomend this game enough to people that want that "killer app" for their 360. This is the real deal. A+++++ title!    … Expand

    Amazing, this is just another example of Capcoms great work. The gameplay is simple, and the story and graphics are just great. Online is so addictive. This is just one of those smaller titles, that you can pick up and play until no one is left online.

    Начнем с сюжета. Ну, тут классический японский сюжет с потерей отца, местью и предательством, норма.
    Теперь геймплей. В то время на пару с Gears of War один из лучших на консолях!
    Персонажи. Ё маё они великолепны. Прописаны прекрасно. Анимация просто класс. Чем то похожи на DMC 4, но это Япония!
    Боссы!!! Тут я просто не знаю! До сих пор (2020 год) в играх я не видел столь великолепных боссов. Невероятно красивые, каждый со своим подходом. Конечно это только акриды, люди, роботы попроще. Но все же!
    Отмечу ещё графон и мехов для 2007 года они были просто идеальны!
    Ну конечно всё это просто объединяет, дополняет, углубляет АТМОСФЕРА!
    Эта игра лично для меня стоит на одной ступени с BioShock, The Last of Us, Deus Ex: Human Revolution!
    Жаль, что Capcom так обосралась с Lost Planet 2! Столько было ожиданий и .... Это надо уметь, чтобы сказку превратить в такое дерьмо, что волосы дыбом, и все, чтоб угодить тогдашней моде на коопы и т.д.
    Была ещё третья часть, но это другая история. Не те люди, не те деньги, не тот размах.
    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition пока единственный бриллиант во всей этой франшизе.    … Expand

    Lost planet is a cross between a third person shooter, and a mech game. It's pretty much the only game I've played where getting out of your vehicle actually adds to the gameplay rather than take away from it. Certian things like timed button mashes, escort missions, and getting out of vehicles to walk on foot just don't work in most games. But Lost Planet, and Resident Lost planet is a cross between a third person shooter, and a mech game. It's pretty much the only game I've played where getting out of your vehicle actually adds to the gameplay rather than take away from it. Certian things like timed button mashes, escort missions, and getting out of vehicles to walk on foot just don't work in most games. But Lost Planet, and Resident Evil 4 manage to make these things work very very well. Resident Evil 4 makes escort missions, and timed button mashes work well, and Lost Planet makes getting out of vehicles work well. While on foot you have a creative and varied arsenal of grenades, machine guns, rifles, and rocket launchers. You can also rip weapons off of mechs and use them. These weapons slow you down though, and have big reload times. You can only carry two weapons at once (grenades do not count as one of your two weapons) ala Halo. Over half of your on foot weapons are explosives, and you'll be thankfull for that because you'll often be battling insects and mechs twice your size. While on foot you also have a grappling hook that you can use to repel from high places, or climb to otherwise unreachable spots commando style. The mechs in the game are pretty varied in function. Some hover in the air for a short time, some jump extremely high, and others transform into tanks or motorcycles. The motorcycle mech can be a bit tricky to use and annoying, but all the other mechs are a breeze to use. Mech weapons vary from gatling guns to rocket launchers and shotguns. The insects in this game are either gigantic behemoths or unending swarms of smaller creatures. Many of the creatures in this game offer a sense of scale that is downright scary. Basically you are thrust right into the worlds of Starship Troopers or Blue Gender. The boss battles often have you facing down a gigantic insect or a super mech. Many of the insect bosses are enough to make Samus Aran green with envy. In Lost Planet you have a power meter of sorts. All enemies drop energy for your power meter after dying. Bigger enemies drop bigger pools of energy. When you take damage this energy drops. Needless to say when you die it is because you ran out of energy and froze to death. Your energy is constantly going down in the game because it takes energy to run your life support system. Getting in a mech causes your energy to drain even faster because you need that energy to run the mech. I never once died because I failed to collect energy fast enough. All of my deaths came from simply being pounded by enemies enough to make my power meter drop enough for me to freeze to death. You'll find none of the annoying energy problems that plagued Ultimate Spiderman's Venom. Overall Lost Planet is a great game that I'd recommend to anyone that is a fan of arcade shooters. Pros: Getting out of vechicles was done extremely well. Monsters are huge and scary. Lots of fun original weapons to use. Grappling hook is tons of fun. Challenging bosses. Cons: Humans are can often be easy to kill unless they are packing rocket launchers (and they do often). 9.4/10… Expand

    Lost Planet is a nod to the 'Old School' gaming you fondly remember. Delivered in a beautiful graphics package with incredible audio. I love this game ... it delivers and keeps your attention from start to finish. Multiplayer is a nice change of pace from the typical shooter fare. Thank you Capcom for making games fun again.

    The graphica integrity is astounding and easily the best looking broad pallete game on the system. The best fir, smoke and explosions of any game ever. Main character and mech controls are spot on. The grappling hook could have been made better use of ...but all and all a t top notch game. LIVe play makes for a casual gamers paradise with just enough for hardcore players to have a blast.

    Lost Planet is very refreshing. It takes me back to the days of satisfaction playing Contra... with a little Mechassault. The controls were a little sketchy at first, but once I got the hang of it, they were as smooth as silk. Sure there are some design flaws, like, walking through some graphical ice, but I am not here to nit-pick at this game. If it wasn't for the weak story and Lost Planet is very refreshing.

    My really rating is 8.5 but ther´s is no half points in Metacritic ratings.
    Good game, challenging battles with bosses, some minor issues but doesn´t affect much the gameplay. Graphics are good not the detail caliber of GOW or RSVegas, interesting replay value, a good buy. If you finished other 3rd FPS games give it a try.

    Do you miss the action arcade of old? Do you like beautifully designed levels with superb boss battle? Then this game is for you. Don't let the game sites fool you. This game is superb. Sure the story isn't great and the dialogue could use some work but the gameplay is spot on, multiplayer is incredibly fun and the singleplayer has replayablitiy thanks to the tokens you can find!

    I believe that this game got mediocre game because they had just come from playing GoW. GoW is a great game that set high standards for the 360. Lost Planet isn't necessarily as good as GoW, but it has a kick that is enjoyable. The single player can be finished in 4-5 hours on Easy & 7-12 on Normal(I'm not sure about Hard). Pros: 1.

Good Single-player: Probably has the best boss fights in any game. Cons: 1. Speed of Character: The main character walks very slow. Sometimes I found myself walking for minutes without any excitement. 2. Single player is too short(see above). 3.Story & Voice Acting: While this won't really ruin the game experience, it is a con. The story is sort of complicated and the cutscenes are over very long (you can skip them). The voice actors are very very average. Overall: This game is very good, and deserves a spot in your 360 collection. If you're still hesitant by the reviews, try renting the game first to see for yourself. Lost Planet is a very enjoyable game, and is one of the best Xbox 360 game so far this year (2007).… Expand

    The mechs, weapons, maps, unique types of levels and being able to pull yourself up to any height basically with the rope-gun are awesome. I spent countless hours with my friends thinking of new ways to take on the maps, whether or not to use mechs, and always trying to get that new suit.

    I like how it also showed how highly placed you were in the world and your country, that was pretty new to me in 2007. Maybe it is just nostalgia, but I remember certain maps and even times I played this game and that was about four years ago. The only problem I had with this game was that I always got put in Japanese servers so it got kinda of annoying when I couldn't understand my team mates.    … Expand

    It's straight out of 1989, and that makes it either archaic or retro-cool comfortable. With Capcom's steady attention to polish and presentation, Lost Planet falls into the latter category more often than not. And even if it's familiar, it's definitely not repetitive. [Jan 2007, p.48]
  2. Edge Magazine

    Really, this is a game of strong, simple virtues: knockout action, beautiful character design, lovingly articulated models, crisp sound and overall polish. Every now and then it'll overstretch, at which point it falls. [Jan 2007, p.76]
  3. 360 Gamer Magazine UK

    It does what it says on the tin, and delivers heart-pounding explosions, pant-wetting big alien monsters and hordes of minions to slay. If you can overlook the fact that it doesn't challenge your Xbox 360 either intellectually or technically, and you can just get down and dirty with some big guns and even bigger odds, then you and Lost Planet are going to get along just fine.
