Xbox Evolved – Lost Planet 2 Review

Let’s get one thing out of the way since it seems many of the reviews did not necessarily point this out. Lost Planet 2 is very much 3 entirely separate games in one; the Single Player Campaign, the 4-Player Co-Op and the Online Multiplayer. Unfortunately, one of these is not like the other in terms of quality and that would be the game’s single player experience.

As with many critics, majority (if not all) of a game is played solo. Split screen is an option, but no one wants to have screen real estate taken away from them and often the online aspects of the game aren’t entirely in place when reviewing early product code. For Lost Planet 2, the single player mode is so god awful that I’m in no way surprised at the low scores this game received from its respected reviewers if that’s the only way they played through the game. Play through it on Co-Op, though, and it’s an entirely different experience.
