Xbox360 Lost Planet Demo.

DMyst · 05-23-2006, 05:09 AM

Has anyone downloaded and tried this demo yet? I just finished playing both missions last night and i am quite impressed with the game.

My only beef is that the Demo was really easy as most NPC do not attack you right away or take their sweet time to do so.

All in all, i am looking forward to the full game and see what the multiplayer will look like - if there is one.

Your thoughts?

I downloaded it over the weekend. The first mission could use some tweeking on the AI. The "drones" or whatever you want to call them just stare at you from 10 yards out, waiting to get shot. The flying bugs in the final cave were annoying as shit simply because you can't exactly kill them all. The boss is either omgrape while walking or a 6 second kill if you have the mech w/ shotgun arm.

I only got a chance to play the 2nd mission for a few minutes. I got blown the fuck up by a rocket turret after like 2 minutes and had to leave, so I don't have much experience with it.

Fun game though. Although they could have been a little more clever with the "weak spots." I wonder if I'm suppost to shoot the bug in his grey chest or his bright fucking yellow glowing ass?

Ya i know what you mean with the AI. Hopefully they can tweak that properly before the release of the game.

It is an E3 demo and it is scheduled for Winter release.

hopefully they can make it not suck before release too.

This one sucks too?

One of the three games I was looking forward to for the X360. N3 (Ninety-Nine Nights) looked fun, but it turned out to blow ass. If this game sucks too then all I have to look forward to is Blue Dragon...

I found it kind of fun. It's more of a rental though most likely. You can beat the first level in about 7 minutes, so unless they have 100 levels, the game will be rather short. It's definately a mindless "shoot the giant glowy bug parts" game, but I've played through each of the levels a couple times already.

N3 sucks though? I had a friend that went to Zero Hour say it was pretty fun. Definately another mindless button masher, but he said he enjoyed it for what it was.

The game does not really suck. Like Jub said, it is a mindless shooter with nice graphics. I for one think the game has alot of potential and i am looking forward to trying the full game.

It is definately a rental unless it has a strong multiplayer. I love how the game plays and the aiming in the game is really nice once you get used to it.
