Let’s get one thing out of the way since it seems many of the reviews did not necessarily point this out. Lost Planet 2 is very much 3 entirely separate games in one; the Single Player Campaign, the 4-Player Co-Op and the Online Multiplayer. Unfortunately, one of these is not like the other in terms of quality and that would be the game’s single player experience.
As with many critics, majority (if not all) of a game is played solo. Split screen is an option, but no one wants to have screen real estate taken away from them and often the online aspects of the game aren’t entirely in place when reviewing early product code. For Lost Planet 2, the single player mode is so god awful that I’m in no way surprised at the low scores this game received from its respected reviewers if that’s the only way they played through the game. Play through it on Co-Op, though, and it’s an entirely different experience.
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.

Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
