Yet it suffers somewhat if played in single player mode. The follow-up to 2007's Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions is a different beast to its predecessor. The plight of Wayne, snow pirate protagonist of the first game, is largely forgotten. The sequel begins ten years later, still set on E.D.N. 3, but it's a very different climate. Vast expanses of snow have melted to make way for lush jungles, scorching deserts and grungy, run down facilities. Your T-Eng meter, in the first game essentially a constantly-depleting shield, now exists to power up rather than power down. The entire planet centres around T-Eng. Wars are fought over it, machines are powered by it, and you'll soon learn to stockpile it for a variety of purposes, such as repairing VSs, refilling your health bar or even opening special crates. New to the game are Battle Points, which herald one of the game's most notable changes. You begin the game with a set BP. When you die, you simply respawn at one of several control points, more of which can be unlocked by accessing Data Posts. Each new Data Post adds to your BP count. It essentially operates as a life system, giving you finite respawns which, should you exhaust, boot you unceremoniously back to the chapter select menu. It's a risky set-up, since chapters can last up to 45 minutes, and while they're split into missions, only the chapters themselves act as checkpoints. It's entirely possible to lose a considerable amount of play with some bad luck and judgment. It's fairly archaic game design, which at times seems entirely at odds with the primary focus of Lost Planet 2. Multiplayer: GREAT! Singleplayer: BlahRead full review
Really fun if you like the genre. Amazing alternate world they created for these games. Good replay value and a welcome piece to my library.

If your looking to be sized up by huge monsters and use some i-tech gear then this is your game. The boss battles i'd have to say are so memorable that a little hick up or two doesn't seem to bother. Playing this game also puts you in the seat of a robot which i'd say has to be a way better experience than any mecha game. Totally worth the buy, don't take game reviews like IGN to serious the game itself is diffently a 9.0
One of my favorites from Capcom.
