Lost Planet 2

Well now, the first thing you’ll notice on playing Lost Planet 2 is that it’s speed up. No longer do you feel as if you are running through treacle. You will also be pleased to know that Capcom has looked at the like Halo and Call of Duty to create a faster, more fluid experience. Oh, and it’s not going to be a late, poor conversion for PS3, it’s already looking and running lovely, so can only get better.  In fact, we were told Capcom would rather concentrate its time on making more guns. It’s good logic – who cared about the characters from the first game anyway? Capcom have taken cues from Monster Hunter, enabling players to customize their character – the number of combinations reaches the 2 million mark, according to Capcom.

While there is plenty of loot to be had through the game, it’s of s superficial nature – this is, after all, an action game first and foremost. Those who ignore the dress-up game and keep their focus away from grinding for loot won’t be on the back foot, ability-wise, by pressing on. Capcom is pushing the four-player co-op aspect. Certain levels we’ve seen, such as fighting the massive worm on the train, actually require players to work together in order to emerge victorious. We don’t know if that would even work in an Al-less single player mode. Lost Planet 2 will be anything other than good so far, which is nice.
