Lost Planet 2 Review

Lost planet 2
Genre: third -person action shooter
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Release Date: 05/11/10

The story takes place back on E.D.N. III 10 years after the events of the first game. The snow has melted to reveal jungles and more tropical areas that have taken the place of more frozen regions. The third person action shooter really grabs your attention with its unique play style and stunning graphics. The campaign is mostly made for co-op online play along with a splitscreen mode and if you don't have xbox live this game can really set you into the wrong direction.

Campaign is set up with 6 episodes with multiple chapters in each, set up with huge bosses and many enemies. Although you can get lost in the plot, the story has cinematic cut scenes and great voice-overs. This game impresses you within the start. The environment really makes you feel like your in the game.

The story is mixed around having multiple protagonists with multiple groups of enemies. It is really a surprise every time. It is quite easy to get lost in the story, but it wont matter because you'll be spending to much time annihilating akrids and pirates. Your missions require four men and if you go at it alone you'll find that your AI's are really stupid and are just shooting at walls. For example, at a time in the game a category G Akrid comes up and if you are playing alone, you will find yourself dying over and over again. And that is where lost planet 2 has its problems. Communication is key in this game.

Lost planet 2 excels in its co-op, you will find your self using a lot of team work to take down bosses and other objectives. It feels like a real accomplishment finishing episodes and ranking up. You have career level points that match the character you are using at the time. The points can be gained through online play or campaign mode. Another pro to lost plant 2 is it's customization. Unlock titles, weapons, and parts for your character to show around the world to other players.

Online modes consist of the main three: post grab( similar to capture the flag), elimination(death match), and team elimination, With the new mode fugitive. The online mode is just great great fun and the 10 maps in multiplayer will have you playing it for a while. This game is incomparable to any others and you should try the experience out for yourself!

Score:
8.9/10
-bad single player
-poor AI
- sometimes confusing story

Medal of Honor review

Medal of Honor Review

Medal of Honor, once the number one shooter has been taken over by call of duty, the leader in the fps genre for the past couple of years. This time, Medal of Honor goes into modern combat. Can EA gain some supporters back for the series or will it fall short in the competition?

At first, when you look at fps’s campaign these days you would see a mediocre story. This is not the case with MoH. Medal of Honor really pulls you in to the story with the interesting characters and a legit story. You are dropped into Afghanistan during the first stages of war there; Medal of Honor shows you the story of four Tier 1 operators, the elite members of the US military.

The game really brings you into the story; it shows you that this game is based off of real events. It really touches you that our troops are really going through these things on a daily bases and it really makes you think. The story takes a toll on you, at one scene, you are pounded with bullets as you try and push up with little cover. It really made me wonder what REALLY goes on over in Afghanistan. Danger close does a good job of explaining the story.

The campaign had a variety of missions that differed from the simple point and shoot missions. You would find most military shooters suffer from the same boring missions where you just point and shoot to kill everything. You can find yourself controlling missiles, driving four wheelers, and long range sniping; it really is nice to see something different in an fps. With replay ability, you get Tier 1 mode. You are challenged to complete each missions under par time, and this includes leader boards.

The game play is the same mechanics as other fps games. There are some nice changes though featuring sliding while running into cover. It is fun to do and really helps you in most situations. There is also an auto aim that can get annoying at some points in the game. Overall it is just general fps game play but it has some unique twists. The graphics are quite nice. Danger close developed the single player and did a great job. The nights scenes really makes it feel like it is dark outside with a haunting feeling. I only saw some minor frame rate issues when everything was happening all at once on the screen. The audio is also wonderful, the silent movement and the crazy action gets the sound right.

Danger close and EA really delivered with the single player campaign, bringing you in with a emotional single player with a wide variety in missions. Even though it is only about 6 hours long you will love every single minute that you get in it.

Don’t know what to do after completing the single player? Check out the multiplayer section of Medal of Honor. If you played the beta you would know that there were issues such as freezing but this has been changed. You no longer freeze before you die and the graphics have been updated.

Medal of Honor’s unlock tree plays out a little differently than most fps’s. There is a new leveling system. Instead of just leveling up regularly, you now level up 3 classes (the rifleman class, special ops, and the sniper class). You can basically unlock new weapons and perks for each of the different classes as you play. For example, you start out your AK-47 with nothing but the iron sights but if you want red dot for the specific gun you can level up that class. The unlocks max out at 15 for each class so there is only 45 levels.

Another thing unique about Medal of Honor is instead of killstreaks there are scorechains. Scorechains are similar to killstreaks but use points instead of kills. For example, to get a mortar strike you would need 40 points instead of 3 kills. You can mix up your strategy many ways to get your points for offensive or defensive actions. With offense, be selfish and take out enemies with mortar strikes…missiles…etc. With defense, help your team by calling uavs …flak jackets…etc. Make sure to choose your actions wisely.

You will get frustrated at some points with the game. Spawning next to enemies and dying automatically can get old very fast. Every once in a while you will get spawn trapped and just die time after time. Also there are some balance issues with the maps for sometimes snipers dominate leaving the run and gunners no chance. The game can get laggy at some points in the single player campaign and multiplayer but it does not affect your experience that much.

I would have to say that this is a fair competition against call of duty. If you are still wondering whether to buy it or not I would say it is a must by due to the uniqueness and fun gameplay. The replay ability keeps you going with multiplayer offering enough modes and tier 1 mode for single player. EA did a great job with converting Medal of Honor to modern combat.

overall- 9.3/10
