Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Critic Reviews

From the well planned and executed single player campaign to the never-ending online battles, it’s one of those rare games where you feel like you got every penny’s worth and then some.

Even more jaw dropping is the amount of detail in the characters, creatures and weapons creation. From the concept of thermal energy to the detail and realistic design of the VS, Lost Planet does a great job creating an interesting virtual world.

Just skip the plot (filled with hyper-cool words like "rendezvous" and "amnesia") and you'll be stranded in bug-blasting, giant robot heaven.

Challenging and visceral, Lost Planet is one of those games that keeps you coming back, even when you're swearing up a storm after dying.

A great game with amazing graphics, epic boss battles, good gameplay, and mechfights in the snow. It's hard to go wrong with that combination, and Capcom didn't, essentially creating a great gaming experience.

Graphically sublime and with well-paced and refined gameplay throughout, Inafune’s second ode to the 360 is one that cements Capcom’s rightful reputation as the format’s premier publisher right now, as well as adding another title of real quality to the console’s second wave.

There's a bit of untapped potential in certain areas, and the gameplay doesn't quite take that resounding next-gen leap forward that I'm still waiting for, but even with that being the case, I'm hard pressed to come up with any other 360 game that looks better or is as altogether riveting as the gameplay experience found in Lost Planet (well, except for "Ghost Recon" that is).

The storyline and cg movies are confusing at best and some of the camera issues can cause more than a few irritating circumstances. On the other hand the amazing gameplay, mech battles, graphics, and online modes each have their own amount of greatness that makes Capcom games so damn fun.

The Single player campaign will last you about 10 hours, but with the added and improving multiplayer mode, there is tons of replay value in Lost Planet.

Lost Planet is a great game with action-packed gameplay and a nice cinematic feel to it. Even though the single-player mode is a little on the short side, the great multiplayer elements are enough for the price of admission.

It's beautiful and refreshingly simple but at the same time relentlessly retro and samey.

The boss battles, the furious action, the Vital Suits and the fun online modes all contribute to make Lost Planet one of the surprise sleeper hits on the 360 so far.

A great game that suffers from a few bad design decisions. The graphics are excellent by any standard with only v-synching issues preventing them from looking truly amazing. The enemy design and amount of action they deliver makes for great gameplay that is hampered by control mechanics that get in the way of the experience.

The visuals in Lost Planet are some what of an art form as the environments, characters and objects look absolutely fantastic.

A hell of a graphical stunner with multiplayer that is balls out insane at times. Not only that, the single player experience is fun and exciting, offering some of the hardest, yet epic boss fights seen on any next-gen console yet.

The action is fast and furious and the multiplayer mode expands the game’s longevity.

Japanese developers need to bring more class games like this to our markets to remind us that not every game needs to be western in origin, ideas, and style.

It's to Lost Planet's credit that the skillful handling of the difficulty and level design puts the player in a state of desperation for almost the entire length of the game.

The Akrid will really catch you off guard at times. Sometimes you know they’re around, but don’t know where they will pop-up from and sometimes they’ll scare the sh@# out of you.

While the game's definitely not perfect, it introduces some interesting gameplay mechanics to keep the action steady from start to finish, and it sports some truly excellent graphics. It's not going to win any awards for its storyline (I still don't know who some of the characters are), but when viewed as a series of standalone missions, it's a blast.
