Lost Planet has great graphics, and has a good story. The story is that Earth died, so all the survivors abandoned Earth to go to this other planet which has extremely colder climates than Earth. The people have survived there for a little while, and discovered all sorts of creatures. The biggest, is Green Eye. You play the game as Wayne, a stubborn, young survivor who is working with his dad. In the beginning, you meet Green Eye, who doesn't give a very nice welcome. You run to the right, take the stairs and keep following the other people until you find a suit. Jump in the suit, and attempt to kill the giant lobster. Of course, you don't kill him, but your dad (Wayne's dad) gives up his life for you, by taking a hit from Green Eye. Horrified, you become a popsicle in your suit. Later, a group of people find you and let join their group. Oh, and don't worry! You'll meet up with Green Eye again, and this time, you have to kill him. This game is really fun, the creatures are extraordinary, but it is extremely hard. However, the last boss to the game is super easy, I beat the boss on the first try. It's probaly a really good idea to get the official gamer's guide. It'll help A LOT!!

pretty but...

This game is awsome to look at but as far as game play look somewhere else. you can run through the stages to the boss and not fight anything inbetween. it gets old realy REAlY fast. Again Graphicaly this game is one of the best there is on xbox 360 (It realy is). but the game itself sucks. so if you are looking for eye candy boy this is the game for you. if you are looking for a good game (like me) pass on it.

I'm new to the whole XBox scene so my current definition of difficult may change with playing experience, but I'll say this is a hard game to play. While you may be able to run through some parts without doing anything, when you play it out, it's intense. The graphics are incredible, the action intense and the story is okay. My major disappointment is the lack of coorperative play in the campaign. My daughter bought this for my birthday and when we went to play in co-op, like Halo 3, found it non-exisitent. This was a real downer.

I would like to see more XBox 360 games designed with co-op play against good AI and not just for the XBox Live arena.

Playing in the snow... with guns.

Lost Planet is a fun and addicting 3rd person shooter. The solo campaign gameplay isn't strikingly memorable, but it offers fantastic snow-filled environments to play in and explore with a plethora of weapons choices.

Each time I play I always wish I could start making snow angels. The snow levels are original in comparison to other shooters out there, but where Lost Planet breaks apart from other 3rd person or 1st person shooters is not only the beautiful environments, but the fact that your feet aren't glued to the floor. In most action shooters you can walk, run and maybe even jump, but in Lost Planet you can grapple onto roofs, hang down over walls, or even get into a tree to ambush or snipe your enemies.

During campaign mode this is just part of gameplay, but on Xbox Live, that's survival. There are countless hiding spots on original maps not from the campaign game where I've been pleasantly surprised with the ingenuity and creativity of other players in mastering some of these hiding spots and the techniques they've employed. The terrain is part of the game. It's not just a map; it's an element of gameplay. This is especially true in the online play.

Speaking of online play, kudos to CapCom for using locality flags to represent the countries other players are from. Lost Planet is truly an international game, and I have enjoyed playing with others from around the world despite not being able to speak some of their languages. Nonetheless, a great and educational experience. (I only wish some of people could recognize the fact that not everybody in the world speaks English, and respect those players without the immature harshness).

Anyhow, when you are playing with others you can communicate with, it's a wonderful playing the team matches, elimination and post grab. The terrain and variety of weapons allow players to play to their strengths. With the terrain you can take cover, get camoflaged or ambush. The selection of weapons allow you to be up close and personal with your opponent or in the crosshairs from afar. Again, a good game to slowly get your feet wet without necessarily having to start running for your life as soon as the match starts.

For me, the campaign mode was a warmup for jumping into the online action. I'd give Lost Planet a higher rating, but because it's solo play isn't so memorable, I have to knock it down. It's good, but it lacks something. This game is a winner for online play, and I can't wait for additional maps or sequel.

Having waited for this game as long as a year and a half I can honestly say it is by itself a decent game. I put decent instead of great simply because after waiting for something for so long you (IE:myself) start to think that WOW this game is gonna be the best thing since sliced bread. Basically what I am saying is Lost Planet is a good game. I just expected and assumed it was gonna be SOOO much more. So in the end I let myself get too overhyped. The online is sweet though!! (WARNING for newbies! Link up with people you play with first because the online community is pretty tough on noobs) The main game is very scenic if snowny wastelands can be counted as scenic. LOST PLANET gets a soild 7.5 in my book. Thanks for reading!!
