Right I’ll keep this short and sweet
I got my Limited copy yesterday with a nice free faceplate, and this game just rocks BIG Time.
I?m talking the most impressive visuals one will ever see, the bosses are Huge (wait till you see the worm on level 3 ) the explosions are the biggest and best ever, and the top it all off the environments look spectacular . Any Paul Verhoeven fans needs this game, its like StarShip Troopers in Snow (and Troopers is one of my all time fav films
Gameplay well it?s a bit of everything in here, bit of Mech Assault, bit of HALO and a bit of GunValkyrie GOW/RE4 thrown in for good measure , the music score is bloody brilliant too . Downers well there?s not many, AI is naff and the lack of save points is a right pain up the ass , but that?s about it . This is already a contender for game of the years and its only January .
Capcom are smoking the 360 with this , GOW is nothing to this
Makes me sick to see Capcom doing wonders on the 360, while SEGA Japan are caught with thier pants down and backing the PS2 to the hilt . Capcom are making a massive name for thier self’s onthe 360 and getting rave reviews from both the fans and the press, what do SEGA Japan do a half assed port of a PSU (makes no use of the 360) and the mess that is Sonic ,nothing bulit from the ground up onthe 360. Seeing the giant worm , make me wonder what the Panzer Team could do on this brilliant hardware, they’ll most prob never get the chance with Nagoshi san . And before people bring up the sales in Japan, Lost Planet is on coruse to become the fastest million seller onthe 360 (thats to add to million seller that is DR). SEGA Japan could once make games that both the west and the East would like (style wise), the LIVE aspect is in so many ways the Dreamcast II , and one that SEGA could really make great use of
If only Smilebit were around this gen and backing the 360 like they did the X-Box, I think they would have done better this time around .
SEGA west seems to have the right idea, Sega Japan do not. I don’t mean to go into a rant, but playing this gem just opens ones eyes to what can be done
Oh the LE set is one of the best I’ve seen for PAL too . Hat off to Capcom , one of the few developers to keep thier standards no matter the gen of Hardware
