Lost Planet 2 is the sequel to the 2006 game Lost Planet. Although its the sequel Capcom didn’t change much form its predecessor. This had lead to some bad reviews and thoughts on the game but really Lost Planet 2 didn’t need big changes. Capcom knew that and set out to fix things players talked and complained about. These small tweaks have helped make Lost Planet 2 better then the first one.

Lost Planet 2 is said to have blocky controls and stupid NPC’s, well its true that the NPC’s in the campaign were unluckily to be the product of years of inbreeding... no i got nothing good to say about them they just suck plain and simple. I didn’t find anything bad about the controls, there handled just fine and were easy to get back into after not playing Lost Planet for quite a while. The game is also said to have the problem for your spawn being camped by other NPC Humans and Akrid. I never came across this problem nor was the game too hard. If anything the only hard parts were when I tried to do some of the campaign online with random people, and I don't recommend you trying it. most people on the campaign online aren't to good at the game and lack the power to talk.

The boss fights in Lost Planet 2 are predictable because of the way the levels work but how the Cat-G (category G)Akrid enter is unexpected and interesting. The bosses are still killed the same way as any other Akrid but the all have some surprises up there sleeves to get you with, and will prove quite a challenge.

All in all the game works quite well. I have heard about some things like weird bugs happening to people but I have never seen then happen to me or anyone I am playing with. If you enjoyed the first game, I'm sure you will enjoy this one even more. Even if you didn’t find the the first one quite to your liking I say to you go rent it and give it a try even if you didn’t like the first one or didn’t play it i say go rent it and give it a try you might like it.
