Famitsu's good review of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

they look alien... and delicious...


Capcom got word from their Japanese office that Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (Single Player Mode) has been reviewed in the newest issue of Famitsu Xbox 360 Magazine, and the review was positive. Although the game won't be out until January 12 for most of the world (December 22 in Japan), it seems that the game - exclusive to the Xbox 360 - already has some big fans.
  • Extremely impressive throughout, from the real-time-rendered opening cutscenes to the impossibly huge enemies. Effects like snow and explosions are wonderful. Top-rate action shooter. The constant tension throughout as well as the balanced difficulty levels are on par with Capcom's greatest. Battles are way intense! Score: 9
That's not surprising. As you know, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is developed and published by Capcom, and the producer is Keiji Inafune, the creator of Onimusha and Mega Man. You would expect great things. Here's how Famitsu reacted to some of the other aspects of the game:
  • Brings to life a strange planet with powerful graphics that take full advantage of the Xbox 360's capabilities. Gameplay stays true to its action roots, with nice learning and difficulty curves. Everything a great game should be. No complaints. Highly recommended. Score: 9
  • Great mix of action and shooter gameplay elements. Requires offensive and defensive strategies and strategic use of terrain. Plenty of depth. Snow and ice effects rendered beautifully and are a joy to look at. However, the action lacks a bit in the speed department, and the thrill or satisfaction is a little thin. Difficulty is a bit steep. Aimed at action game fans. Score: 8
  • The overwhelming size of the giant creatures along with the beautiful outdoor locations that are clear as far as the eye can see are truly impressive. The visuals are the high point, but the story lacks. The online multiplayer mode, where you go battle on foot or in giant walking machines, promises a lot of great fun. Score: 8
As for the multiplayer, we're expecting good scores when it does get fully reviewed (instead of just mentioned in passing). Especially now that the small text in multiplayer has been fixed for SDTV.

Finally there is another game the Japanese might like for the 360, but it is still unknown if this game will sell console in the far east. I don't think this game will see some big success here like Dead Rising did. With all the people who I've played online with say that this game sucks and would rather play Gears or Halo 2(typical American gamers). I know that this will be a title I'll be looking froward to picking up and it comes out one day before my B-Day.
