Lost Planet 2 is a great game. It doesn't deserve the strange scores of 5.5 that IGN and Gamespot gave it. It's quite a farce and made both IGN & Gamespot lose credibility in my eyes.

For the people who think the game sucked, unfortunately the opposite is true. Lost Planet 2 is a real challenge and the key gameplay elemement of Lost Planet 2 is cooperative gameplay. The game forces you to work for objectives together, not solo hero style. This is probably why the detracters disllike the game because it takes them out of the so called Hero's seat and forces them to work as a team.

Lost Planet 2 is deserving of at least an 8.5, but it failed in marketing due to people picking up the game and believe it was a single player game like the first one.

It also failed in educating game review sites that it is a coop game as well. These are the only failings.

[QUOTE="tirralirra"]haha, people are such hyprocrites here. I swear before the reviews, there were plenty of people saying how good the game was (personally, i hate it, poor gunplay is poor) but now that the reviewers are saying its bad, everyone now seems to concur. :roll:

Just piece of evidence below... and how people suddenly change their minds after being told what to think.
After playing the demo I've already decided to get it. I've always been a huge fan of LP and LP2 will be even more epic.gamer082009
Then after the reviews..
Because they played it and thought it was bad..what's so hard about understanding that? If you watch the GameSpot review you'll see that clearly the game looks frustrating..and one thing I've always hated about the first Lost Planet was when you get knocked down. I will NOT be buying this game..this is why I look to reviews before making purchase decisions. (and yes I'm ok with that)gamer082009
LOL From one of the more vocal Lost Planet 2 (converted) haters.

This. Because people are sheep and only follow what other people say. The game is not broken. People just like to say this to sound cool, they don't even know why it's "broken" The game is a hella lot of fun.

The reviews are rubbish, including the one here on GS. The game is loads of fun, great presentation and solid game play. Just because the game has different control scheme doesn't make it crap. Most importantly, it should be recognised this game was designed to have 4 player coop campaign. You can do it via pick ups or with friends, not to play with oneself. The weapons and vital suits have excellent feel. The storyline follows different perspective of each faction yet are converging. It's not rocket science. The boss fights are epic and require some thought to unravel. Yes you will die in the process, big deal. On dying, the battle game is simply another way of implementing group lives count. How hard is that to understand. You have a set pool of lives, you can increase it by activating the data points or it can be drained by people in your 4 man team dying. Same concept from Super Mario.. you have lives, you die, you use up lives. Hardly a valid complaint. I really am disappointed with the Gamespot review as they gave such a resounding applause for Demon's Souls which on many accounts is similar to Lost Planet 2 in terms of coop play and boss fights. I had faith Gamespot could understand the unique Japanese way of implementing a shooter. However instead of trying to understand the game, the review came in with the mindset that it should follow the footsteps of Halo or COD: MW2 and provide the same slop again and again. The success of games like this suffer because of poor reviews. COD:MW2 is an example of such derivative and boring game play that sticks to an old and tried solution. Games like Lost Planet 2 try different approaches and tries to innovate and succeeds in bundles because the coop campaign is a real blast to play with three other people.
