Lost Planet – Map Pack 1 DLC Review

Well this is Lost Planet’s first DLC and it’s a little expensive for what you get. You get two new maps and the novelty about them is that they are not covered in snow and get to show off the graphics engine a little more than the core game themes allow, especially the map with the broken bridges and islands. However if you’re saying WTF 400 pts only for 2 maps? you’d be right. I definitely feel 4 would have been better value, maybe even 6. The gameplay isn’t fundamentally different enough on either of these maps that you’d be missing out if you didn’t buy this pack. Radar Station is probably the biggest laugh as you spawn on these tiny ledges with rocket launchers and sometimes you can have an enemy spawn on the ledge next to you so it becomes a race to blow each other up first. I like how each of Lost Planet’s maps have a different feel and almost different gametype associated with each one but ultimately this one’s for hardcore fans only. If you play Lost Planet casually or spend more time in Gears or R6 then it’s worth skipping this one.
