Yet under the veil of ice, a devious plan has been set into motion for the termination of all Akrid and snow pirates alike. What really happened to Wayne? Who is plotting the destructive scheme? Encounter valuable allies and dangerous enemies on Wayne’s search for the truth.

Customer Reviews

good if you like starship troopers
Campaign Length-

People can call it short all they want, but the fact is most games these days have short singleplayer campaigns, unless it's an rpg. Especially first person and third person shooter titles. The industry keeps popping out short lived games, and we keep buying. For the record I purchased Lost Planet a few days after release, and i just beat Mission 6 yesterday. It's not because I suck, it's merely bc I don't play the game for hours on end and beat it in one sitting like many people do. For people like myself who log an hour or two a night, sometimes only a 4/7 nights of the week, the game will last quite a bit. It's really only short for those people who sat down for 10 hours and beat it in one day. If you have that much time to play in a day, you should really get into MMO's that your type of game tongue

Graphics -

It's far from the best, however, anyone who claims the game looks "bad" is a moron. It's definitely one of the better looking titles out, not to mention keeps much steadier framerates than some other titles. The multiplayer character designs could have used some work, aside from that it's a pretty solid game visually/graphically.

Story -

As I said, I'm only on the 6th mission, but the story has a good plot to it, however, obvious, stupid, and carless flaws and loopholes, that could have been easily fixed.

One example: Mission 4 End - Mission 5 Start- Wayne mysteriously warps back to the trailer for a cut scene and then after the scene is over he is mysteriously warped right back where he was before the cut scene.

Just little details in the story like above that just don't add up. And there are quite a few of them.

Multiplayer -

FUN! Kinda buggy at times, but hopefully those will be worked out in time. I could do without the Fugitive game mode, and something slightly more entertaining. Leveling up and unlockable costumes characters make the multiplayer kinda addictive. Hoping to hit 20 for a new costume design soon happy

Anyway, i'd prolly give it a 8.5/10. I haven't touched GEARS since this game came out. GEARS MP is just dull compared to LP's IMHO. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing GEARS, I just prefer the large scale battles in LP to the 4v4 tactical squad battles in GEARS.

Really great game! what's with the reviews?
This game has some features that Halo 3 does not have. It is a third person shooter game and some features are nice to play. It is not the best game, but an 8 out of 10.

Big fun!
I really liked the landscapes. Good action. The background story is a little weak, but still fun. Haven't played a lot of PS3 games yet, but for what it's worth I could just pick up the controller and start shooting without having to know 400 key commands.
