Product Description

Fans of multiplayer action will not be disappointed as Lost Plant: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition allows them to enjoy a host of new maps, characters, weapons and gameplay modes. Players turn poacher as they attempt to steal opponents' Akrid eggs in a number of individual and team play modes and the addition of VS Annihilator Mode assigns one Vital Suit to each team which must be defended at all cost. Colonies Edition also includes the feature that Lost Planet fans across the globe have been clamouring for - the ability to play as a marauding Akrid. Revel in the chance to turn the tables on the Snow Pirates as you assume the role of one of E.D.E.N. III's indigenous creatures in Akrid Hunting mode.

All of these modes can be played across a total of 20 diverse maps including a number of brand new multiplayer arenas such as the confines of an ancient coliseum and the zero gravity of space; in addition to familiar locations from the Lost Planet universe. And what's more, for the first time, PC gamers will be able to join up with or play against Xbox 360 owners thanks to Colonies Edition's cross platform compatibility.

Customer Reviews

Really good game!
Really good game, story is lengthy, there are a lot of modes to choose from to keep you occupied. 4 difficulties to play the game in.

Graphically, it is stunning, on the most high-tech machines every texture to shadow to detail will blow you away. Wide range of guns, weapons. Big bad akrids to fight. Vital Suits are thrown in too (Lost Planet's version of mechs). Some epic boss fights.

The only thing is sometimes the bosses are as thick as a rock. They will stand still for about 3 seconds, then move to attack you. They even stand still with their weak spot exposed. But it isnt for people who are looking for a strategy shooter. More of an arcade (you might even say brainless at times) shooter.

Online is really fun. Teams of a maximum of 8 battle it out in many different modes (Elimination, Countergrab, Akrid Egg battle, Akrid Hunter) and i think about 3 more. Weapons sounds realistic, animations are good, characters dont get an unbalanced speed boost like in a lot of games.

A very solid arcade/brainless shooter that truly shines in its multiplayer. quite a few people play so you wont be left in the lobby searching for a game. X-platform. Eye-popping visuals, and just great fun, how it should be.

poor details
when we viewed this title we looked as hard as we could for a full breakdown of the PC specifications needed to run this game , but could not find one, so hoping that our family PC met the specs. we purchased the game but sadly when we opened it,it does not work, and because we had opened it , we could not return it. perhaps in the future a full breakdown of the specs, of the PC needed to run these games could be printed in the review area of the advert.Needless to say we now have a game and joypad going spare, any offers ?
