This game may have been the biggest let down of the year. Everyone was hyped up for it, but the story line makes no sense at all, and the whole time your playing the game you have to run around like in mario 64 collecting coins, but this time they are little things called thermal energy to keep you warm, but if you dont collect them, your thermal meter ends up running out and you die. Its honestly retarded, whoever made this game must have been extremly high while creating it, because its probably one of the worst games i have ever played. When your fighting a boss, you have to worry about your stupid thermal energy meter and try to run around collecting the little red things, while fighting the boss is already a hastle. All in all, i would say this game deserves no starts, unfortunately amazon made me give it at least one star. Dont rent it, dont buy it, and dont even play it at Best Buy if they have it out.

This was probobly one of the worst games ever made. The storyline makes no sense and is just so bland and boring that can not seem to keep my attention for more then two minutes. As for the stupid thermal energy thing goes, what is up with that. It makes no sense and half the time you die trying to keep up your thermal energy while also having to fight. I wish I could get my money back and the 2 hours of my life that I spent on this game.

It's not enough anymore to slap a game together people will not let you get away with games that are as bad as this one is I rented it and returned it its god awfull i cant see why anyone would play this game, and I would bet the positive posts are all fakes, or at least some of them, I mean the power full weapons are heavy but the big boss is super fast so fast you cant dodge him, this game is lame, the concept is lame and the design is cookie cutter and soft around the edges like play mobile toys, no grit or feel to this game at all. if you want a good shooter game look else where cuz this one sucks.

A GREAT LOOKING ARCADE GAME

Wooow..... you run!..... You shoot...... You get shot..... YOU GET A MEDKIT!..... youre all right to keep running and shooting.
This is like those old arcade games in which you loose "energy" when you get shot and your "energy" goes up when you get a medkit or eat something.

Nothing like the great games where you die from one well placed shot, and you really have to take care of yourself, crouching, hiding, taking cover, and THINKING about what you have to do to survive..... No MEDKITS to save the day, and no lives.
HAIL rainbow six vegas!, Ghost recon AW!, GEARS OF WAR!, and all the real tactical shooters (Americas Army on the PC is another one of those).

This game is great for pure action lovers, but if you like tactics, dont even rent it.
(just my humble opinion anyway).

Good for kids

If you're an older gamer, say 18+, this game really doesn't cut it. Long movies and TERRIBLE multiplayer action led me to dislike this game. Multiplayer looks like it was on a deadline and they just released what they had completed. Campaigns are ok... and by ok, I mean just ok. The graphics are unparalled, but the game is shallow and only 1 player.

Great for kids, not so much for the older gamers. GoW is much more fun and involved.

Rent.........if you are just that bored........

I got my xbox 360 not too long ago. I didn't have many games and I had heard that Lost Planet promised to be really good. Luckily, since I was too cheap to actually buy it, I rented it instead.

Let me begin by saying the graphics are great for this game. There are some very nice snow affects and explosions- two things you can never have enough of. The problem with the game is the game play.

I assumed that the game play and story line and storyline would be phenomenal. They weren't.

The game play was mediocre at best. You have a grappling hook, which is semi-cool, and you can control robots (I forgot what they call them in the game)n The problem is all this is done before- and done better.

The story is about as interesting as this review except a lot longer and much more tedious.

The game is decent enough if you are devoid of any other games or friends, although I do suggest you purchase F.E.A.R. or Oblivion for the 360. Both are excellent and worth your money.

BORING

I usually live for games like this ... but this game ... B-O-R-I-N-G. It is the same thing over and over again. It really has no redeming values. After the first 5 min ... it just goes downhill. The weapons suck, the enemies are always the same ... it really was no fun and a waste of money. I am going back to playing Gears of War for the 1,000th time ... and enjoy it.

Single Player - Multi-Player...Both Suck...

I played the mulitplayer download of this game and was not impressed with anything it had to offer. I then tried the full version of the game in an attempt to try to find out if it had any hidden glory. I wasted my time. This game offers nothing unique and the graphics are not worth raving about. Enemies are too easy to kill and the "light up" weak spots are childish and lame. With so much potiential, this game was a huge disappointment.

Lost Planet is lost on me

At the time of its release, Lost Planet was arguably the most hyped game from CAPCOM since Dead Rising blew the minds of many, myself included. While it boasts a load of potential it is ruined by a horribly fiddly control system.

Thrown into a cliched revenge story on a desolate ice-covered planet, we quickly learn the importance of a well thought-out control system. Sadly, this is what makes the game so painful; if it wasn't for the controls this game would have a lot going for it. The main problem is that the right analog stick controls your direction, but if you tap it quickly you spin quickly in that direction. So if you're facing one direction and tap down, you'll turn 180 degrees. What this means though, is if you're trying to aim at something and just want to adjust your site very slightly and you just tap the right stick, you're suddenly facing a completely different direction, which makes for VERY frustrating boss fights. And the control settings aren't modifiable! At least not the problematic ones anyway.

Most of the game involves action on foot or controlling mech warrior style machines called Vital Suits which are actually pretty cool. There are different types of machines to keep things interesting. Your character also possesses a Batman style grappling hook which is pretty cool but overall the gameplay really suffers due to the controls.

The graphics are very nice, with large, explorable environments with finely detailed snow and fog. The enemies vary in their quality but typically the bosses are very detailed. There are some very nice fire and lighting effects as well so overall the graphics are really very good.

But when it really comes down to it, the controls RUIN this game. It's probably even more disappointing because you can see the games potential as well. It's like when you meet a really hot girl and you start getting along with her great and then she says she has a boyfriend.
