Has Capstone learnt from their mistakes in? Rob Taylor from Xbox 360 World, set out to find out and brouught back with him the lastest review of the highly anticipated Akrid world, Lost Planet 2.

Blowing stuff up is often insanely fun, chiefly thanks to some suitably epic weapon design, and though environments aren't nearly as explosive as they should be, the sheer amount of mayhem going on simultaneously gives Lost Planet 2 a suitably frenetic, kinetic feel. You won't play a shooter this year packing anything like as much simultaneous mayhem, with players screaming down their headsets, blasting, dying, and killing all around you.

Visually, the game marries imaginative character, mech and enemy designs with an engine that only drops frames under the most extreme of duress, and though it can look ropey in the texture department on occasion there's enough sheer imagination here to forgive one or two slips - especially during an epic train chase under the scorching desert sun.
