"Elimination is a different affair, and despite reservations over the control physics, I had a lot more fun just duking it out with hostile Snow Pirates online. If Turbulent Jungle does show off one thing apart from the pretty graphics, it’s Lost Planet 2’s ingenious use of both horizontal and vertical warfare. Players can pin themselves to walls, ledges and even ceilings to set up ambushes, which results in some rather frantic action when you load up a server with 16 players at once."
"The storyline is broken into episodes with each having self-contained chapters, which are then broken into the brief missions. Many of the missions in the first three episodes were completed within 2-10 minutes, so with a count of three missions per chapter or so, each chapter ranges from 15-30 minutes in length. On top of that, players will use different default characters for each episode, so Capcom made sure that the players are thrown into different scenarios around every bend."
"The old adage of “bigger and better” is being applied to Capcom’s Lost Planet 2. It’s as if they entered a no-holds-barred match and came away learning from their successes and mistakes from the original. There’s no denying it – Lost Planet 2 holds a high amount of intrigue due to its one of a kind gameplay."
"I’m not a massive fan of Street Fighter (Mortal Kombat is my preferred fighter) and Lost Planet 1 never really grabbed my attention to experience it as there were plenty of other great games out at the time of its release, so my initial expectations upon walking into the room which THQ had set up last week to profile their upcoming games, Lost Planet 2 , Super Street Fighter IV, MotoGP 2010 (all tested on PS3) and of course Metro 2033 (tested on Xbox360) down at their PR Managers rooms in the..."
"And if you thought the bosses from Lost Planet were large, you have not seen anything yet. Some of the bosses from Lost Planet 2 are twenty times the size of what you found in the original. In fact, some bosses are so large you can actually fight them from inside their bodies...Eww... The demo we saw had the four players (yes, the game supports 4-player coop in the regular campaign) taking on a very large and slimy beast. Using team-based tactics, two players would shoot at the beasts protrud..."
Its no surprise that consumers have been getting their share of multiplayer co-op for some time. The last major titles being Gears of War 2 five player horde mode, Call of Duty: World at War zombie survival mode etc. Where those fail to make a true cooperative campaign mode exceeding two players, Lost Planet 2 will succeed. Here is a first look at what Lost Planet 2 will have to offer.
Dark Void and Lost Planet 2 were available for demo play at Capcom's booth this year. Unfortunately, you also needed an appointment to get past their pseudo-bouncers (hard to look intimidating wearing a Capcom polo). That's where cheeky game reporters come in.
If you're curious as to what either game is about and are looking for some basic information or more in-depth impressions, here's a good place to look. See how well the flight mechanics word in Dark Void, and if you can accidental...
