Capcom has found success on the XBOX 360 recently, and it is no different with Lost Planet. This game is big, action packed, and has the big bosses that you would expect from the publishers of Resident Evil to have.
The game is fun, and relatively easy to play and master in a short time. The graphics and lighting are visually appealing, and show that Capcom understands the power of the 360.
This game is worth checking out, and enjoying, but it is not the "killer app" for the XBOX 360, or the must have. This title is worth picking up on ebay at a stellar price.
Graphics: Great - 4.5/5
Smooth textures, great mapping, and the smoke effects are great. There are slim to no frame rate issues, and Capcom did a great job with the visuals.
Sound: Great - 4/5
The sound in this game was well thought out and the explosions put you right in the action, though a lot of these effects feel recycled.
Gameplay: Good – 3.5/5
The gameplay is really well done, but the smoke and effects are too much of a distraction. The bosses though, make up for this and are worth going through the long, and sometimes, monotonous rounds to fight. Bonus points go to this game for including, and the ability to jump into the Mech suits.
Replay Value Good – 3.5/5
The single player mode lacks depth, and storyline, making you not want to play through it twice, and the end scenario and closing is weak. The online is fun, but lacks depth, strategy, and is great if you just want to jump in and game.
Overall Good – 3.5/5
The game is only 7-12 hours long on easy or normal, and 15-20 hours long on the hardest difficulty. Definitely worth checking out, though it is like a crush, your feelings for it will fade over time.
