- Great Game
This game lost planet has a range of weapons and a range of brilliant challenges, the on-line games are brilliant fun and the campaign is just brilliant, if you don't play this game you are missing out on the fun. Sure it may be an old game but that just means that there are loads more downloadable content for it then, the live is great but as its an old game you bump into the same players quite allot, overall 5 stars is what is needed.

- So Much Potential....but ..so Average
Okay I bought this game hoping for something different with stunning graphics and great surroundings and good gameplay however, it has to be said - this had none of them. Right fronm the start the game is boring and ordinarily average. The 3rd person view is so far away it makes shotting 10 times harder than it should be.
I really wanted to enjoy this game but I didn't.
Not reccomended.
Rating: - Mutton dressed as lamb ...
I ordered this game expecting something epic. What I got was something ... not. Don't get me wrong, it looks (as countless others have stated) quite simply breathtaking, but I'm afraid in this case it's just mutton dressed as lamb.
So what's wrong with it? Well, for one thing there's no save option, and the game only auto-saves at the end of each mission. I read a review where someone said that it could take up to 2 hours to complete missions, and at the time thought it couldn't POSSIBLY take that long. How wrong I was. Some even took longer. That's all right if you're a hard-core gamer, but for the short-session gamer its a bit too much to suffer.
The other major let-down was the scripting for the cutscenes. Although the plot itself isn't bad, the cutscenes were almost painful to watch, with consistently twee, puerile and in places unbelievably cheesy ('I WILL kill Isenberg!!') dialogue. It wasn't the content that was wrong - it was the tone.
I personally also loathed the constantly re-spawning baddies, forcing you into a 'duck and dive' style of gameplay. When I shoot the bad guys, I like 'em dead. Period.
If I'd played a demo I wouldn't have bothered with the game. I even considered not bothering to finish it, but as my obsessive nature wouldn't permit that, I played on expecting there would at least be a satisfying ending. Wrong again. Gameplay stops, there's a pathetic attempt at a plot tie-up, then the credits roll.
All in all, unless you like games where you endlessly shoot things for no apparent reason, and are prepared to put in long sessions, I suggest you give this one a wide berth.

- good storyline and an even better multiplayer
this game mihgt not be up to starders of say gears of war or halo 3 but i think it has a certian quality that you dont see in either the of the games iv just mentioned. some mihgt not see this quality but for the people u do this will certianly be a game you cherish in your xbox 360 collection.
this game has a brilliant story mode that will entertian you for quite a while. fair enough the plot is not exactly plot of the year but it does have its twists which surprise you and the graphics are quite good. the combat system is really good wether your on foot or in a giant robot thing and having this choice of combat through out most of the game is great. the best part of the game i would say is the online multiplayer as maps are somtimes absolutely humungus which much bigger than what you get in GOW or halo3 and the mechanics the games uses make multiplayer a barrel of lauhgs somtimes
the only bad thing about this game is the way it creates multiplayer matches can be frusrtaitng and may take a while but somtimes its worth it and the control layout and is a little diffrent from most shooters and the camara angles came be frustating but thats not somthing that will throw u off the game its just somthing you will get used too so all in all i would say this is worth buying if you like and want a game which is diffrent or unique to other games.
Rating: - Hardcore gaming
Shoot things. Once dead, shoot bigger things. Once dead, shoot even bigger things. Simple and straight-forward!
Most of the levels are simply paths leading to the massive boss fights, and it's these battles that make the game. VS (or mechs) add varity as you plough through the destruction. Lots of weapons to choose from too.
Achievement points are sparse with only 450 points up for grabs for completion (assuming you collect all the medals). If you can beat the game on Extreme Mode (150 points on offer) you are truly a gaming god - it's the hardest challenge I've come across on the 360 so far (eclipsing Veteran on COD3 and Insane on GoW).
Multiplayer is surprising good fun with enough variety in gameplay to keep you interested.
All in all a well made old skool shooter
