Lost Planet demo lost, but not for long


It looks like the Lost Planet demo was briefly available on XBLM a day earlier than scheduled and then yanked. Photographic proof above. It should be back tomorrow. Gamers who were lucky enough to grab it early, please report your impressions.

1. I managed to snag the demo before it was pulled. It rocks! There are 2 scenarios that are playable. My only complaint: no checkpoints so when you die you have to start the level over from the beginning! Other than that, very cool so far.

2. Woo hoo I got it earlier like... 3 hours ago when it was up... it is fun as hell!

3. I was one of the lucky ones that were able to download the Lost Planet demo. It's fantastic! Playing it has made me really look forward to the release. Graphics and gameplay are awesome, and it's a lot of fun....and man, the mini-boss/boss battles are absolutely stunning! Only thing I'd like to see made better are the controls and the AI. It's a shame that not everyone got to check it out, but it will most likely be up again tomorrow.

4. cool demo, downloaded it earlier today before they took it off the marketplace and i can't wait for the full game to be out. Graphics are impressive and gameplay is great

5. Man, this is the only game thus far that really signals to me that the next gen of xbox is here. I thought I'd get that impression with FarCry Instincts Predator. That sucked. I was really impressed with the graphics, explosions are second to none. VERY eagerly awaiting the game's release.

6. Yeah, the explosions in Lost Planet are pretty spectacular!

7. Is that a hint of Lost Planet Multiplayer at the end of the trailer?

8. I was pleasently surprised with the Lost Planet demo. the graphics were nice... no Final Fantasy XIII/Gears of War/Halo 3/UT2007.... but still impressive nonetheless. What did everyone else think of it (it took forever to download btw)?
