IT-Reviews reviews the Lost Planet, they write:
“The shooter bit is fairly routine, but by upgrading your VS Suit you can turn into one Hell of a mechanical beast, which you’ll need to be to stand a cat in Hell’s chance of taking out the enormities you’re pitted against. You’ll need to keep it fuelled, though, with the Thermal Energy left behind by the Akrids. You’ve really got no choice but to kill them. Surprisingly, in either shooter or mech guise, the game plays at a reasonably modest speed that rarely lets you outpace the action. This has a notable upside, as Lost Planet positively encourages you to engage in some ferocious firefights that are impossible not to relish.”
TeamXbox reviews the Lost Planet, they rated the game 8.4/10 and write:
“One of the most interesting elements of the game is the use of the aforementioned Thermal Energy, which is the only thing keeping you from turning into a Waynesicle. Every time you kill an enemy (or, in some cases, destroy parts of the environment), you’ll be presented with a puddle of T-Eng to replenish your constantly dwindling supply. This is an excellent gameplay mechanic, as it forces the player to keep moving from battle to battle. It helps to keep the proceedings exciting from beginning to end, and while some of the action might be repetitive, you’ll never get bored. Of course, the best way to conserve your T-Eng is to hop into one of the powerful Vital Suits scattered around the levels.”
IGN reviews the Lost Planet, they rated the game 8.5/10 and write:
“Lost Planet is a great game that suffers from a few bad design decisions. The graphics are excellent by any standard with only v-synching issues preventing them from looking truly amazing. The enemy design and amount of action they deliver makes for great gameplay that is hampered by control mechanics that get in the way of the experience. Add in a stumbling story and you have a game that doesn’t quite reach the levels of some of the more outstanding titles we’ve seen in recent months. The bottom line, though, is that the game is a lot of fun and that’s all that really matters, isn’t it?.”
