Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
With the Xbox 360 still selling like two week old sushi in Japan, Capcom remains Microsoft’s biggest supporter from the land of the rising uppercut. Realising there’s no point trying to appeal to the local market their games so far have all been very much Western in style, as exemplified by the well-received Dead Rising. This was intended as a third person take on Halo and even though the similarities are ultimately minor it’s still one of the 360’s best action games. Like most Capcom games the story (and particularly dialogue and voiceovers) is not one of the game’s best features, but thankfully there’s not much that needs explaining when you’re fighting monster bugs and giant robot riding snow pirates.

Like Halo you can have only two weapons at a time and use a recharging shield. This though is powered by an always decreasing supply of thermal energy, topped up from defeated enemies. Apart from this the only other piece of gadgetry you have to help you is a grappling hook, although it remains largely underused in the single player campaign. The various mechs you can commandeer are a great deal of fun though, with different variants being able to jump, hover or transform into vehicles. Graphically the game is excellent, with some awesomely large Starship Troopers style bugs and possibly the best explosions ever in gaming.

Where the game gets into trouble is the brevity of the single player campaign. Although this is compensated by the online multiplayer mode, even that cannot overcome the game’s innate simplicity. Complexity, or even longevity, is not what this game is about though and in terms of offering plenty of big dumb fun it succeeds admirably.

- Great Game
This game lost planet has a range of weapons and a range of brilliant challenges, the on-line games are brilliant fun and the campaign is just brilliant, if you don't play this game you are missing out on the fun. Sure it may be an old game but that just means that there are loads more downloadable content for it then, the live is great but as its an old game you bump into the same players quite allot, overall 5 stars is what is needed.

- Mutton dressed as lamb ...
I ordered this game expecting something epic. What I got was something ... not. Don't get me wrong, it looks (as countless others have stated) quite simply breathtaking, but I'm afraid in this case it's just mutton dressed as lamb.

So what's wrong with it? Well, for one thing there's no save option, and the game only auto-saves at the end of each mission. I read a review where someone said that it could take up to 2 hours to complete missions, and at the time thought it couldn't POSSIBLY take that long. How wrong I was. Some even took longer. That's all right if you're a hard-core gamer, but for the short-session gamer its a bit too much to suffer.

The other major let-down was the scripting for the cutscenes. Although ... Read More:

- good storyline and an even better multiplayer
this game mihgt not be up to starders of say gears of war or halo 3 but i think it has a certian quality that you dont see in either the of the games iv just mentioned. some mihgt not see this quality but for the people u do this will certianly be a game you cherish in your xbox 360 collection.
this game has a brilliant story mode that will entertian you for quite a while. fair enough the plot is not exactly plot of the year but it does have its twists which surprise you and the graphics are quite good. the combat system is really good wether your on foot or in a giant robot thing and having this choice of combat through out most of the game is great. the best part of the game i would say is the online multiplayer as maps are somtimes absolutely ...

- Hardcore gaming
Shoot things. Once dead, shoot bigger things. Once dead, shoot even bigger things. Simple and straight-forward!

Most of the levels are simply paths leading to the massive boss fights, and it's these battles that make the game. VS (or mechs) add varity as you plough through the destruction. Lots of weapons to choose from too.

Achievement points are sparse with only 450 points up for grabs for completion (assuming you collect all the medals). If you can beat the game on Extreme Mode (150 points on offer) you are truly a gaming god - it's the hardest challenge I've come across on the 360 so far (eclipsing Veteran on COD3 and Insane on GoW).

Multiplayer is surprising good fun with enough variety in gameplay ... Read More:

- Shallow old school gaming
Lost planet looks the part, hell it even plays the part, but it cannot escape the fact that it is a straight forward shoot em up. The baddies are impressive and numerous, the controls are a little sluggish but the feel right regardless.
Capcom, as usual have put together a tidy package, well presented, good graphics and sound and pretty good game play.
Sadly it isn't enough, the cut scenes are well made but dull, the plot is a bit pointless and not that interesting. Skip skip skip, a skipfest is what the cut scenes are. Solid but ultimately unspectacular.
