Bosses so massive you can fight inside them-need we say more?

'Thar she blows!' This salamander-type boss is big enough to fight from the inside. But he'll quickly digest and push you out the other end. Gross!

Lost Planet 2 is taking cooperative play to new heights by allowing four players to take on alien bosses so large in size that you can actually fight inside their tumultuous bellies. Gear up with a variety of customizable steam-punk inspired jackets, helmets, and weapons, then jump into the campaign and earn new items by defeating the giant Akrid aliens of planet E.D.N. III, ten years after the events of the first game.

In Lost Planet 1, Earth finally reaches its tipping point and humans have no choice but to seek another planet to inhabit. They find planet E.D.N. III, a frigid snow-covered world that can be colonized once the ice is melted. A powerful company named NEVEC leads the charge on global warming. Protected by an army fighting against an alien race called Akrid, NEVEC continues the colonization of E.D.N. III and discovers a new kind of thermal energy that powers the first mechanized Vital Suit exoskeleton. At the end of the game, you and a group of snow pirates safely restore the planet's global warming and stop NEVEC's foolhardy plan to destroy the planet.

Play in 4-player co-op and take down the remaining Akrid with your buddies. A.I. partners will join you when playing offline.

There's Snow Business like Snow Business

Lost Planet 2 takes place ten years later when the snow has melted and the ice turned to rivers; planet E.D.N. III is almost habitable if it weren't for the remaining Akrid. You and a group of friends, or A.I. controlled partners when playing offline, will fight against Akrid aliens so big you can climb on their backs and even go inside them where other Akrid may dwell.

Since you'll be playing cooperatively in a group, you'll want to stand out and look fashionably different. Lost Planet 2's robust character creation mode allows you to customize your character's head, body, legs, and backpack with dozens of options for each body part. Change your sex, color, and even choose from a variety of gestures to make your character unique and stylish.

Think of Lost Planet 2's character creation mode like Call of Duty 4's barracks loadout screen where you get to choose what weapons your character will carry, but you also get to customize their looks. New additions to the arsenal of long, short, standard, and support weapons are the pistols and gun sword melee attack, both requested fans of the first game.

Customize your character's head, torso, legs, and backpack with a variety of steam-punk inspired apparel.
