Lost Planet 2 Review (Terminal Gamer)

Terminal Gamer's Alan Urtz writes:

"Everyone knows that it’s more fun to read a bad review than it is to read a good one. One thing you learn quickly in journalism school is that it’s also more fun to write a bad review. This simple fact has led me to always let myself cool off before writing a piece on something that has gotten under my skin. Even with this cool down period, I still find myself cursing Lost Planet 2."

Split opinions on LP2 but from what I've been able to play I'd say I'm much nearer to this than those finding it an improvement on the first game. Basically, there's no great story, co-op's too tricky(too long between saves and no drop in)to make playing through with the same mates that easy and the SP campaign isn't rebalanced very well after being built for four people-poor friendly AI makes harder bits a real slog.

They also kept a lot of the problems the first game had-like odd, irksome and clunky controls and boring lead ups to bosses/interesting bits. That said some battles are a blast with three good pals and the game is certainly VERY good looking. Sadly, it just suffers from Capcom not really knowing how to marry a good co-op and SP campaign in their games these days. RE5 suffered similar problems but with LP2 they can be ,made worse by the larger number in co-op and subsequently higher number of NPC AI controlled team,mates in SP. Disappointing as I really thought the first game, while deeply flawed, had ace potential and a great premise.

... even gamers are singing the same tune. Capcom really knows how to go about UI and CoOp Design ... I swear, it's their biggest weakness. I thought about RE5 problems and wondered if it was in this game and I was afraid that it was multiplied to the n'th level ... this sucks; I really wanted to get this.

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.
