Lost Planet

[~Latency~]

.. is out this friday isn't it?!

Who's gunna buy it? The demo is so ancient now, came out early last year.. for me the game has kinda lost it's excitement, but i'm gonna buy it anyway!

The multiplayer seems a bit wank tough :S

 

[Yaka]

[leggy]

I haven't seen a decent review for this yet. Was looking forward to it after having a bash a the MP demo but I doubt I'll bother now.

A mate has the beta on his hacked console, the singleplayer games rocks from what I played over 2 hours. As long as the game lasts at least 12 hours I will be happy to be honest and the multiplayer is a good laugh as well.

but what makes this game different from all the 200 other 3rd person action games?

I have to admit that I enjoyed the first demo very much, however im not sure if it will keep my interest for more than a few levels.

 

[phazey]

Not alot really apart from a Japanese style story and manga inspired visual, it is alot of fun to play though in my opinion which is something 90% of those other 3rd person games aren't but as always it is down to personal preference.

Teamxbox review up, 84% which is slightly less than I would have scored but still a good review and good score.

[Aada]

Dead Rising only got 85%ish reviews and it was still a blast to play so i can't see any reason why this would not be if you enjoyed the demo.

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Only? 85% is a bloody good score.


I never really got the ridiculously high scoring syndrome of many magazines, I remember when GamesMaster gave games scores of 80-odd % that would probably get 95+ in other mags because it was still well, well above average.


Bah, maybe that's why I don't bother with journalistic reviews any more.

Capcom games tend to not be rubbish so this game is a buy for me.

 

[leggy]

They might not be rubbish but the last two capcom games I played were full of bugs (dead rising being one of them). I certainly won't be paying full price for this.

 

[FuzzyLogic]

The magazine Chodax, though i haven't read it in years so it's probably changed a heck of a lot since I saw it last.

Ah heck Aada, if you want to give games overinflated scores (that's just an assumption based on your reply) you do that, who am I to argue It is a fun game after all (only played about 10 minutes of it in the infinity mode after a friend brought his 360 round and it was a blast trying out all the weapons for the first time). I think my favourite must have been either the gumball machines or the excavators (or whatever that giant drill was called).

Anyhow, on topic, how are people enjoying this game? looks an awful lot like starship trooper on ice

 

[Delket]

Ill probably grab this one, though i wasnt blown away by the demo (sp)

 

[Aada]

Cool game really like the setting for it.

 

[~Latency~]

got the game earlier, really enjoying it!

 

[Aada]

I started on hard (like i do every game) and it is definatly a challenge took me a while to get past the first boss.

 

[Yaka]

not got round to opening my copy, yet but was wondering does it have co-op modes?

does not :S sux

 

[Delket]

Completed it, found the final boss easiest of the lot /shrug (On normal).

Was a good game, very epic feeling at time although sometimes a little too overwhelming. Other grips are a nasty control system and some monsters having too much hp (Hp != fun). Other than that a great game and well worth picking up, mp is a blast.

 

[leggy]

Just picked this up in town for 26 quid. Mates with store discount for the win.

 

[nath]

Ngh. Best I can find it for is 35 quid here

Has anyone used dvdstars.com before?


edit: saying that, it's 30 quid for the non special edish which is pretty good assuming dvdstars is a decent site.

From what i have heard the game is around 9-12 hours long if u play normal or easy.

 

[Yaka]

so 15 hours when its on hard then, that will do me fine when i get round to playing it

Took me ages to get past the first boss.

 

[Delket]

I started on hard, killing monsters wasnt an issue but they drop bugger all T-Energy which can be annoying as buggerly after a few lvls

And ye played it all of Friday Was good.

Took about 7 hours i think, not overly long.
