Lost Planet 2 Review

This is a little gem in. First I would like to congratulate Capcom, I mean some of your games literally rocked my world on PC. You did a great job with this one Capcom. Looking forward for Lost Planet 3 from you and I know it's a lot of work, but definitely worth the money.
At first it didn't look like much. You have the filling yo are playing in some online co-op game in some invented small campaign like in Unreal Tournament or something, and you realize that the small cut-scenes don't make up for it, and together with the impression of a small combat zone used better in multiplayer than in a single player campaign. You have three buddies to help you out, but they are like the bots from Counter Strike really. Well, after the second episode you realize that the action it's getting tougher, the cut-scenes are getting yummy to watch, and it gets a hold of you putting you in the middle of a cool story you never even guessed. You have 6 episodes, each with several chapters, and each chapter with 3 or 4 zones/missions. You fight with many different weapons. Even if you can carry only two, the environment is full of weapons and VSs. Fight underground, in the water, in the fire, on the ground, in the air, in space, on a ship, on space station, in a lava volcano type environment, in a tropical Akrid infested jungle, in a desert, on ice, in the snow, rain, sun, fog, thunder storm, day or night, fight small Akrid, fight medium, big and tremendous Akrid, fight the other factions and Nevec, fight robots and vs, on a big train, on a big Hovercraft, big guns, you name it, this one has it all. You are on your own until the 6th episode. In the 6th episode you ally with the other factions to save the planet E.D.N. III from an ice age produced by a big Akrid, so you have to force-hurry up NEVEC plans and destroy the big akrid before it reaches her full form. Eventually you succeed and everything turns back to normal. Yap, it's a cool surprise, and longer than I expected to be. And to state some important technical thing: it runs on Havok's graphic engine, and is very well optimized and optimized for 3D Vision. I played it at max graphics and only with 3D Vision and it looked like nothing I've seen before - absolutely stunning - I could never take my 3D glasses off with this one.
