Really enjoyed the demo, I'll be interested to see how the multiplayer pans out.

Yup really enjoyed the demo too. Interesting that he says Japanese gamers found the demo a little hard and Western gamers found it a little easier. Anyhew looking forward to the EG review closer to the release date.

I think the AI for the smaller bugs at this point in time is nowhere near aggressive enough, and the game feels sort of shallow, but it looks, sounds, and controls pretty great. I wish they'd make it possible to do double shots etc. with your grappling hook, have vaguely Spiderman-esque elements etc.

Shooting the legs off that boss bug in the warehouse has to be one of my fave gaming moments in recent times. When you shoot them both off, its great the way he flops around, still vainly trying to get you.
Superb demo. |

I'm quite looking forward to Lost Planet. My first few plays of the demo really didn't grab me but when I returned to it couple of days later it really started to click with me.

I found the demo hard, and I really dislike the way the aiming reticle moves out of the centre of the screen. I feel the same way about other games that do the same thing (e.g. Timesplitters). It feels really wrong, as wrong as when the invert-Y option is wrong. If they can make the roaming reticle an option to be disabled in the final version, I will be very happy.

I rather enjoyed the demo, a few combat issues but the atmosphere was very nice. Stomping about in snopw has never been so much fun.
And when I found you could remove mech weapons and wander about with them... I fhought the two rolling bugs on foot with a mech shotgun and had a fine old time. Didn't finish either demo map though, was there a mid-level save option I was missing? Dying and going back to the start sucks, its not the bloody 80s you know. Hope that was just the demo. |

Was really looking forward to this title but found the demos utterly disappointing. Imo the scenery was bleak to the point of being bland and disinteresting, and I also found the AI atrocious (I didn't have to move to avoid the bugs in the car park, just stand still and shoot, and when I faced the snow pirates I just zipped to the top of a building where I used the rocket launcher to destroy the mechs, the snow pirates themselves just looked up at me while I shot them one by one).
Now, the question is, is the demo a realistic example of the final titles' gameplay, or is it literally just a "here's what we've done so far..."? It will need to improve a great deal before I spend 50 hard-earned pounds on it. |

I thought the demo was pretty cool but it better be nowhere near finished - as other peeps have said, the AI was pathetic, and the pop-up and clipping was pretty bad - should be pretty cool though once its FINISHED... I hope.
