Editorial Reviews:

In Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, you're a snow pirate - battling for control of the precious thermal energy needed for humans to survive. Driven to the brink of extinction on ice-covered wastelands, humankind fights to survive. From extreme conditions and insurgent Snow Pirates to hostile gargantuan alien Akrid, all that you can trust are your instincts. Experience large, varied stages, great-looking environments, and massive bosses and thick swarms of enemies that keep the action intense. The multi-player action is just as riveting. Don't miss this popular title as Capcom brings it to the PS3. The PlayStation 3 version will also feature Snow Pirate Luka as a playable character. This brings the roster up to five playable characters, and makes this version the most feature-complete package of the game. Foot and vehicle based gameplay - Command highly powered armed vehicles and weapons, including transformable snow vessels; strategically Switch from vehicles to on-foot gameplay as dictated by the situation Enjoy online multiplayer cooperative and versus battles; Download content like additional maps, missions, and weapons

Comment: Just to add a "1 star" review.
That was missing.
The game?
Not Bad at all... But you know Capcom... Or they write a awsome story or a complete crap like that one..
Gameplay is nice and the whole Mech stuff is cool.

Summary: Lost Planet FUN!
Comment: 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!

Summary: Not Brilliant, But Unique
Comment: 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.
