Not Brilliant, But Unique

I was a bit surprised to see IGN and other gaming sites give this game lower ratings. While not the most impressive game in the world, it is definitely more fun than they made it out to be.
Lost Planet definitely has some downsides, however, these cons do not make the game worthy of avoiding.

For example, one of the most annoying parts of Lost Planet is the fact that a 5 gigabyte installation of content is required before you can play. Another downside is that the same button is used to exit your vehicle as to pick up weapons for that vehicle, meaning you could be trying to pick up some much needed ammo and instead find yourself jumping out of your vehicle directly into harms way. And, despite the massive content installation, there are still a few points in the game where frames will be dropped and the screen will hang up a bit. However, these things I believe gamers will find to be forgivable.

Now for the pros...Gameplay for one. I found the game to be a unique and rather entertaining mix of first/third-person action and mech-style combat. Parts of the game you will play on foot while others will be impossible without a VS (mech.) Also, the graphics are pretty nice, granted this game did come out a while ago (and it's a 360 port...) so they are not as impressive as more recent releases. The cutscenes, however, I found to be very nice.

Overall, I found Lost Planet to be a worthwhile gaming experience, despite the flaws. The originality of the game definitely makes it worth checking out.

Lost in Translation?

I don't really know what to say about this game, except it's a tad disappointing. I played this game last year on the 360, and it looked beautiful. The premise is simple: You're in the snow, you kill aliens, they have a thermal energy within them that you need to survive in this artic wasteland.
It all sounds like a bloody good time, but something went wrong, really wrong on the port over to the PS3. The frame rate slows, the effects look bland, and the controls are sluggish.
The game has a lot of potential, however it falls short due to the aforementioned problems.
I only recommend this if you want to play a sluggish third-person shooter.
If not, there are plenty of other quality titles out on the PS3 to spend your hard earned cash on.

Lost Planet FUN!

Once again Capcom proves why its one of the best video game companies out there. Lost Planet is a non-stop action from the begining to the end! The story mode is absolutely brilliant, it will make you want to finish the game in one day just to see how it ends! After you complete story mode the Online fan begins! It haves a very addictive online modes and also you can Level Up. Also PS3 owners, we get the same stuff as 360 owners but we also get the additional extras and updates that 360 owners paid for em! Its a great deal for a great game! I highly recomend this game to anyone who loves action games!

It's Ok

This Game Is Ok
I Played It For A While
I Wish The Character Could Run A Bit Faster
The Action and Story Could Be More Explosive as Well.
When Playing Online With Your Friends The Game
Will Produce More Fun.
However, The Slow Movement Of The Characters Takes A Toll On The Overall Action.
