Was thinking about Lost Planet 2 the other day by Capcom and how much I enjoyed it. I didn’t get the chance to play it co-op or multiplayer but Lost Planet 1’s multiplayer was fun, especially the mode where you can be an alien and fight snow pirates. I think the west just wanted another Gears Of War clone, and even though 2 took a lot of inspiration from Gears (it even featured it’s hero as an unlockable character) wasn’t enough and critics and players panned the game. It’s hard today to find anyone even playing it anymore and it seems to be dead. Shame.
Probably? I think people really had high high hopes for it. I just remember people being harsh on it because it didn’t capture the magic of the first game and the multiplayer felt tacked on. Which it definitely was tacked on, but I enjoyed it just the same.
