Customer Ratings: - Crossplatfom Fun. Lost Planet - Extreme Condition is a shining example of what DX10 can do. Aside from looking pretty, the game is also fun. The single player will keep you entertained for quite some time, and the multiplayer even longer.
Lost Planet is a cross-platform game. Xbox LIVE and Games for Windows LIVE work well together. Get on and show them you are the PC Masterrace. - Decent. Pretty decent game but hard to get into, over all i love myself some 3rd person shooters!!!
- A cautionary tale. I bought this game after reading all of the positive reviews. For me, that was a mistake. I ve finished the first two levels, and I m not going to continue. The problem is the controls. This game was made to be played with an XBOX 360 controller, not a mouse and keyboard. The 3rd person camera is also highly problematic, as another reviewer noted. There is no way to customize the pc controls for a mouse and keyboard, and some of the default controls plain don t work and make it very hard to beat certain stages. If you have an xbox controller and don t mind 3rd person shooters, then you will probably enjoy this game. Its conception isn t bad. But if you are a mouse/keyboard gamer like I am, stay away - you ll just end up frustrated.
- Did I say Fracture was the best game I ve ever played? Yeah? Well THAT was a mistake!!. Not to say Fracture isn t a great game. But there are 3 reasons I think this game kicks Fracture s BUTT. 1, they don t have Fracture for the pc, do they? 2, I realized Lost Planet looked A LOT like Fracture. So, I went and checked the release dates of both games, and just as I thought, it was Fracture who copied Lost Planet. My favorite game was Fracture, until I found out it was just a copy of a greater game: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. And 3, Fracture has almost no story whatsoever. There is no romance. Not to say Lost Planet has much, but you can kinda see Wayne developing feelings for Luka. (and Luka, by the way, is pretty, and the girl in Fracture is one of the ugliest I ve ever seen.) At the very end, I think Luka and Wayne might have been about to kiss, but I can t say for sure. The only real goal in Fracture is to stop the pacificans. BORING!!!!! In Lost Planet, the goals are to avenge your father, stop the Frontier Project, and find a better way to warm the planet. Final victory in lp is much more satisfying than in Fracture. Now, on to the real gameplay. (Oh, and by the way, I m done comparing lp to fracture if you were getting bored by that.) Bosses. They re all great. I found the easiest to be the Mission 7 boss, the hardest to be the Mission 9 boss, and my favorite to be the Mission 10 first boss. There are 12 bosses in all. One at the end of each mission, and 2 in mission 10. Difficluty. I played through the game on hard. The difficulties are easy normal hard and extreme. Hard is satisfyingly difficult, but extreme is just insane. I cant even get past mission 2 on extreme! EAsy and normal are too easy, so play through on hard the first time. Weapons. The Weapons in this game are FANTASTIC. There have got to be at least 20 or 30 in the game. Nothing conmpared to the amount in Halo, but I don t think any game can beat that. My favorite weapon is of course, the sniper rifle. I also love how you can rip guns off VSs and carry them around, even though they re HUGE. My favorite VS gun is the EM Laser. Vehicles. The VS idea is great, there are so many, if they had stuck with real army vehcles their options would ve been limited. My favorite VS is Wayne s dad s (of course), but I also like the NEVEC one that transforms into a tank. Multiplayer. Incredible. There are so many different weapons, guns and maps that make playing lost planet with Windows Live great. The colonies edition offers some new maps and multiplayer modes and even some new guns, which is a good deal for 10 bucks more. Don t get the colonies edition if you arent going to play online. The single player is no different from the original lp. Also, get the wireless Xbox 360 controller to go with this game. Only then will the game deserve 5/5 stars. Buy it.
- Warning!. I deleted my old review and am replacing it with this one star middle finger review.
1. A internet connection is needed...that fact isn t listed in the manufacture s discription.
2. Minimal requirements....that fact isn t listed in the manufacture s discription either.
Here are the minimum system requirements,
OS Windows XP. (I m runnin vista 32 bit and it runs fine.)
CPU Intel Pentium 4 supporting HT technology AMD Athlon 64
Ram 512 MB (Windows XP) 1 GB (Windows Vista
Hard Drive 8.0 BG
Monitor 800x600
DVD-ROM drive DVD9 compatible
Video Card VRAM 256 MB. DirextX 9.0c/ Shader 3.0 NIVIDIA GeForce 6600 series
Sound DirectSound compatible, DirectX 9.0c (PC audio solution containing Dolby Digital Live required for Dolby Digital audio)
Imput Devices Mouse. Keyboard
Internet Broadband connection required for online battle.
Anyway, I don t have broadband but I wasn t gonna battle any of you and you don t need it to get this thing running. But the internet is needed to get it running.
The game itself runs okay....but it was more movie than game. I would have given it a solid three stars.
Finally, check my reviews on the Orange Box/F.E.A.R. 2/Mass Effect, to see where I m coming from in all these low star ratings.
bye.
