the key to survival on the harsh planet, and the uncertain e
of mankind as they battle the huge insect creatures known as
Akrid. A decade has passed since the events of the first game,
and the face of E.D.N. III has changed dramatically. Terraforming
efforts have been successful and the ice has be to melt,
giving way to lush tropical jungles and harsh unforgiving
deserts. Players will enter this new environment and follow the
exploits of their own customized snow pirate on their quest to
seize control of the changing planet. Gameplay
Lost Planet 2, like the original game in the series, is a
third-person shooter featuring huge boss battles, challenging
terrain and the ability to pop in and out of battle mechs, known
in-game as Vital Suits. The primary difference in gameplay this
time around hinges on the inclusion of RPG gameplay elements.
Players can now customize many of the aspects of their playable
snow pirate, including his physical attributes, clothing and to a
certain extent, weaponry and gestures. Players will control these
customized heroes across 6 interconnected episodes, creating a
truly unique and interactive experience that changes depending
upon the actions of the players involved. With this concept,
players will have the rtunity to engage in the story in a
much more dynamic way as plot threads evolve from different
players' perspectives.
Multiplayer
Beyond the deep single player mode, Lost Planet 2 is loaded with
extensive multiplayer modes and play options. This includes
16-player online versus action, as well as a 4-player online
co-op support and two-player split-screen functionality in local
co-op play. In addition, the intense and action packed campaign
mode allows for 4-player online co-op play to clear mission
objectives with friends, unlockable weapons and the ability to
resurrect fallen comrades.

hardware for players to unleash on unsuspecting enemies. Machine

experience are back, allowing gamers to gain advantage
by quickly scaling buildings.
