Only An Expansion Pack - Great For Those New to XboxOct 05, 2008
By Beckster My son recently purchased an Xbox and this game. He enjoys this game a lot. Please note that this is an expansion pack game and will not be enjoyed by those that already have the original Lost Planet Extreme Condition game. The bad reviews are due to the disappointment of gamers seeking a new and different game. If you do not currently have the original Lost Planet game, you will most likely enjoy this one.

Brand New [...], I Cant Complain!Feb 19, 2009

Brand new for ten Bucks, I Cant Complain! I got this at the Circuit City close out sale with a big discount. It came out to be cheaper than advertised as the case was mismarked.
This is not a groundbreaking game nor is it an awful game. Its your run of the mill action adventure game. Along the lines of Resident Evil, Dino Crsis, and Dead Rising. The only thing i hated about this game was the 2nd analog controller. You can only use it to alter your Z-Target as oppose to rotating the camera at a somewhat 360 degree angle. Why cant all games do Z-Targets like Zelda: Orcarina of Time? Nintendo really perfected that flawlessly! Instead Capcom releases this nonsense feature that doesnt have a good Z-Targeting system like Zelda.
However, i found this game to be enjoyable. I really wanted to rate this a 3.5, but i'll be generous and let this semi good-Capcom game slide. Other than that, i really enjoyed my purchase and would recommend this title only if you can get a copy for under ten bucks. Nothing more, nothing less.
Lost Planet is funMay 21, 2011

This is a fun game and requires some gaming skill or you can get stuck in certain levels. It better than some newer games out today. Even if your not a experienced gamer practice will make you better. Some odds looking creatures in this game which I love~!
Pretty goodFeb 03, 2010
By jp I bought this game because i like the fact that you are in a snowy/icy environment and get to kill bug looking aliens. Its not your run and gun game where you can be rambo and blast your way through levels. There is some exploring, the graphics look good and the environments are well sized. Nobody plays this online but its a cool single player campaign game.
Lost Planet - Fun shooter with an interesting styleJan 12, 2009
By Gust of Wind Capcom is well known for creating exciting new genres, or putting new spins on familiar ones. Last generation they gave us Viewtiful Joe, P.N.03 and Killer 7. While Lost Planet may not be as bold as those titles, basing a game entirely on an icy planet where you constantly lose health is quite a risky move, and I admit I admire the premise. The detail they put into the snow effects is breathtaking, and the bugs/alien creatures are something to behold. The controls and aiming took some time to get used to, and I think I would like more options. Still, controlling various crafts and mechs is really exciting, and the grapple mechanic was nicely done and intuitive.
Online modes seem to be even more fleshed out in this "Colonies" edition, but the main appeal for me is the campaign/story mode. So far is hasn't disappointed, and I'm eager to try out the extra missions included in this special edition.
Here's to hoping Capcom continues this series on next gen consoles, or does a spin-off version for Wii. Blasting those bugs with the Wii remote would be fun and a natural fit for this kind of game.
