Surprised no one mentioned the news in the reviews, since I'm sure this game is sure to get many more eyeballs and re-listed at some point with Capcom's movement on finally removing GFWL that crippled a lot of its earlier PC titles. There are many who are ecstatic about replaying some of their old favorites, but we're not here to talk about those other games.

Lost Planet 2 is a goated game from the Xbawkx360 era that went criminally overlooked after the moderate success of it's predecessor, Lost Planet. Surely enough, it was deadpanned on release by industry journalists in the mid-2000s who definitely knew what constituted fun in vidyas and needed more gray/brown color schemes in their bro-shooters of the time.

Lost Planet mostly lives on in our hearts after the middling meh conclusion of the trilogy, but Lost Planet 2 was built different. If I were a 2024 gamer, I'd say something like they went in their Monster Hunter bag for Lost Planet 2. If you look closely, you'll see your MH(W/R) wirebug/clutch claw is an offshoot of LP's grappling hook. In fact, by region, Monster Hunter 2 and Lost Planet came out in the same year and the games definitely have a bit of gameplay overlap in the form of its boss battles and general movement clunkiness.

But this isn't a real review. Like many, I'll be massively excited to be able to play this game again soon. Hopefully online, with no issues on re-launch day. The more concerning part about this is Capcom's pinballing from the massive success of SF6, to the introduction of Enigma, to actually getting off their asses and removing GFWL, not even mentioning their Pre ResiVillage fiascos. Take this W for now, cause their next one's probably an L.

Edit: LP1 and MH2 released the same year. Too much LP2 on the brain after their announcement.

I'm posting this in hopes that this problem will get resolve with Games for windows live. if any body from capcom sees this please. can we get this game listed back on steam! its one of my favorite games of all time and i been dying to play it! if this game ever gets listed again on steam, i would cry tears of joy! i will buy multiple copies for my friends and family!
