A game that had a lot of interest with some Smugglers was Capcon's Lost Planet. Third person fantasy shooter with armored suits and plenty of snow! Even though the interest in Lost Planet died pretty quickly for those same Corellian Smugglers the sequel is garnering much interest here and in the gaming community. So here is CS First Look at the Lost Planet 2.

 The second chapter of Capcom's space adventure is set on the same E.D.N III planet as the original, but now the snow has slowly started to melt away, leaving a world of jungles and other such environments for gamers to explore, as well as giving rise to new dangers...

When Lost Planet first hit the videogame world just over two years ago, it wowed us with some sparkling visuals, confused some with its quirkiness, and hooked many more on its unique brand of multiplayer combat. The sequel is not going to miss a beat in any of those departments. In fact, it's going to push the formula to the limit by offering up four player co-op, new customization options, bigger Akrid bug battles, and much, much more. We recently sat through a guided demo provided by the game's producer, Jun Takeuchi, to get our first look at the sequel in motion.

Though this sequel has a distinct Lost Planet feel, it is going through somewhat of a radical shift in focus. The first game was a single-player, character driven story. Capcom even went so far as to license the likeness of a Japanese TV star for the main character, Wayne, for a twisted story of survival on a frozen, bug-infested planet. This time, the very idea of a main character is disappearing along with the melted snow.
