StandingInAlley Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hey folks, I cant decide which game to buy. Over here Call of Duty 3 and Lost Planet have just released and since my budget is limited i need to decide one of them. I havent played COD2 in the past, just played the demo and found it good. Please help me out :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Haven't played either, but Lost Planet looks a lot more interesting than COD. Tired of the WW2 games :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help me out :) Thanks ive played CoD2 for some time now and love it. Lost Planet shall be good either, but I didn't try it. Anyways, if you pick CoD3 you can't do anything wrong I guess, since CoD is really worth its money. Maybe you wanna have a quick google on reviews for both games? I voted CoD...

trix Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I voted Lost Planet, just because after CoD2 CoD3 didn't seem good :/ full of glitches and bugs - makes single player a pain in the backside sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFC_ Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 there are enough small issues with lost planet to make me choose cod3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 11, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2007 ill go with what i know. COD3 is amazing single player, horrible multiplayer. I want to buy lost planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 11, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2007 It really depends on if you have XBox Live or not. If you do I think Lost Planets Multiplayer offers more re-playability than COD3's in the long run. I do have to disagree with lylesback2 though, as I do not think COD3's MP is horrible at all, as I actually like it quite a bit. With that said though, between the two, Lost Planet has the better MP. Having played and beaten both SP, I would say the SP campaigns both have their strengths and weakness', with Lost Planets SP edging out COD3's slightly.

Septimus Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 LP initially, its a good game and a touch more interesting the CoD3. But get CoD later pre-owned or when the price drops as it's still worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pargo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 lost planet single player is fun, although the story sucks... the multiplayer is where its at though, that game can make you feel like a god at times... i love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While playing at a friends house, COD 3 was fun to screw around on, but we both enjoy LP slightly more with the MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Lost planet is alright, and i've never been a fan of call of duty. I might be inclined to skip these both, i bought lost planet and i'm almost done it and i haven't played it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarFalcon Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I played the single player on both, and greatly preferred COD3. I didn't like lost planet all that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Not a big fan of either. CoD2 was much better than CoD3 IMO. Lost Planet was a bore to me, the SP was very repetitious and the MP is just decent. Your call. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Lost Planet no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 for the MP, COD3. the single player component is rather average or below in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandingInAlley Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks a lot guys. I am gonna be picking Call of Duty 3 :) and when i have a bit of more money, i will then go for Lost Planet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bugman Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks a lot guys. I am gonna be picking Call of Duty 3 :) and when i have a bit of more money, i will then go for Lost Planet :) Since you don't have Live this is probably the better choice because LP does not have local MP. I have been playing R6 Vegas and really like it, especially for MP and CO-OP. You should consider it for your next purchase. Bugman Hey, first post!

Matrix XII Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'd go with CoD3, more replayability, but LP is awesome too.. hard choice hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted February 12, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 12, 2007 Listen to the new gamers podcast, we review both CoD3 and Lost Planet (and Rainbow Six vegas)! If I had to choose between all three, I'd go with Rainbow Six Vegas for sure, but since you didn't list it, I'd go with CoD3 since you have more maps (and more extra maps, gotta pay for em tho) and stuff.

Cuttz Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Listen to the new gamers podcast, we review both CoD3 and Lost Planet (and Rainbow Six vegas)! If I had to choose between all three, I'd go with Rainbow Six Vegas for sure, but since you didn't list it, I'd go with CoD3 since you have more maps (and more extra maps, gotta pay for em tho) and stuff. i took my vegas back for just cause, worst mistake i've ever made. I'm getting vegas again soon. those mexico missions really ****ed me off though...ruined the games name...but meh....i did get to vegas in the end but my mates talked me into getting just cause, i loved R6 cause it was kinda graw in FPS, but it was just all cool. Great game. But vegas isn't relevant here. I haven't fully got into COD3, as i promised myself to complete cod2 first, and i've kinda been busy with soo omany games lol. I've got cod3 though, and rocked it online alot. Its great. Lost planet has a really good story imo, which is what can make games great. I really loved the way lost planet got into it, and its just a really god damn awesome game. Whether you're loving the complex but do-able boss battles or just enjoying the amazing scenery i think its a great game. It kinda feels like dead rising as well.... I know the majority would say COD3, which is a DAMN great game, but then to be honest its just another FPS with a few blurry effects to demonstrate "stuff in the distance" Your choice buddy.
