The next instalment in the popular action series returns in Lost Planet 2. Lost Planet™: Extreme Condition, the landmark third-person shooter that debuted on Xbox 360, went on to sell over 2.2 million units worldwide after its release. Lost Planet 2, will offer deeper insight into the world of E.D.N III and the uncertain fate of future mankind.

A decade has passed since the first game, and the face of E.D.N. III has changed dramatically. Terraforming efforts have been successful and the ice has begun to melt, giving way to lush tropical jungles and harsh unforgiving deserts. Players will enter this new environment and follow the exploits of their own customized snow pirate on their quest to seize control of the changing planet.

Players will control their heroes across 6 interconnected episodes, creating a truly unique interactive experience that changes depending upon the actions of the players involved. With this concept, players will have the opportunity to engage in the story in a much more dynamic way as plot threads evolve from different players’ perspectives.

Beyond the deep single player mode, Lost Planet 2 is loaded
with extensive multiplayer modes. The intense and action packed campaign mode comes with the ability to form teams of up to 4 players online to clear mission objectives with friends. The grappling hooks that made the gameplay in Lost Planet a true 3-D experience are back, allowing gamers to gain tactical advantage by quickly scaling buildings.

No action game would be complete without an arsenal of weaponry, and Lost Planet 2 has a huge variety of hardware for players to unleash on unsuspecting enemies. Machine guns, shotguns, rocket launchers, lasers, sniper rifles, grenades and a host of other weapons are scattered across the game. However, Lost Planet 2’s biggest weapons come on two legs: the heavily armed and armored robotic Vital Suits return in greater numbers and variety than the first game. There are VS that transform into other vehicles, hold up to three players and some that even take multiple players to operate.

Features:

• 4-player co-op action: Team up to battle the giant Akrid in explosive 4 player co-operative play. Teamwork is the player’s key to victory
as the team is dependent on each other to succeed and survive.

• Single-player game evolves based on players decisions and actions

• Deep level of character customization: Players will have hundreds of different ways to customize their look to truly help them define their character on the battlefield both on- and offline. Certain weapons can also be customized to suit individual player style.

• Beautiful massive environments: Capcom’s advanced graphics engine, MT Framework 2.0, will bring the game to life with the next step in 3D fidelity and performance.

• Massive scale of enemies: Players skill on the battlefield and work as a team will be tested like never before against the giant Akrid. Players will utilize teamwork tactics, new weapons and a variety of vital suits (VS) to fight these larger-than-life bosses.

• Rewards System- Players will receive rewards for assisting teammates and contributing to the team’s success

• Multiplayer modes and online ranking system

• Exciting new VS features- Based on fan feedback, the team has
implemented an unbelievable variety of Vital Suits and new ways to combat VSs. The new VS system will have a powerful impact on the way the player takes to the war zone in Lost Planet 2

I just got hold of the PC version. So if anyone wants to Tunngle their way through for co-op, then let me know, we can try that. The graphics look gorgeous on the PC. I have completed the 360 version and the game was average. Nothing special, except for the huge ass boss battles.
 
Now at Episode 4. I like it so far. Its difficult to understand the game at first including the damn in-game menu but after you get a hang of it the game is fun. The Akrid boss fights and the robots are the heart of this game.
The level with the snow pirates where you need to take down a desert cat-G akrid was awesome. Beautifully crafted for CO-OP play. I've never seen such mechanics and gotta admit its awesome. One fires the railgun, one repairs the railgun, one loads ammo into the rail run and one fires the railgun. Simply megnifico!
 
Finished the game. The last chapter was fking awesome because thats where you can see whats capcom is good for. If you can't even guess yet, its the damn awesome epic stylish cut-scenes like the ones in DMC!
Play it to believe it!

Over all i loved it. 8.5/10
 
I agree all the missions are not equally good like capcom's many other games. But there are some missions that just blow you outta your mind!
If you don't wanna play all missions just download its save games from our very own savegames thread and play chapter 4 and 6 and enjoy! But i suggest you play the game chapter wise so you get a good view at the story

the later part is just awesome and its worth it to play the whole game just for them. Its a sort game anyway
