"Combat is stiffer than previous Lost Planets, with punchier guns and a left-trigger zoom lifted from every western shooter of the last half-decade. It's perfect for a multiplayer shooter, though not necessarily like the one Lost Planet fans know and love".

WTH!! Why would you make the combat stiffer when it was already stiff enough in LP2. This part really annoyed me, because they keep chaning things that dont need to be changed, like how they changed the way you found ranked matches in LP2. Honesty, the most important thing for me for is that the combat at least keeps the important key aspects that made the first LP successful such as, grenade shooting and rolling. I really hope they don't mess up LP's uniqueness by copying others.

Most of you guys are only looking at one game they made quite a while ago and basing your entire opinion of them on that. Not exactly the best way to go about it.

The team has guys who made the first two Star Wars: Battlefront games, and much of the rest made the older Medal of Honor titles. They were supposedly slated to make Battlefront 3 and after Turning Point they went and made the much, much better Legendary. And Legendary showed they can make some pretty good creature battles in a shooter.

With the focus of exploration and everything I'm not exactly expecting it to be a lot like the previous titles but cautiously optimistic about the turnout. And while created characters can be fun and all it was really lazily implemented in the campaign for LP2 which lead to women with man voices. Then there was that whole chapter of Cheech impersonators...
