Lost planet : Colonies

I really didn't see the point of getting a re-released version of an old game that I'd already played,but on recommendation from a friend i gave this a whirl.
It didn't start off too well seeing as my local blockbuster was charging £39.99 for it (its only a classic edition,which everywhere else is selling for around £25).
I bought it anyway as it was the only place that had any copies,but when i got home,i dropped straight into multiplayer and felt a wave of nostalgia hit me.Nothing has been changed,all the maps are here including the bonus DLC maps that were released on the original version,making a hefty 20 maps total.
To tempt buyers that have already played the original,a whole load of new game-types have been added (variations of CTF modes and modes based around the mechs and akrid instead of just elimination matches).And it works.There's enough there for it to keep old players feeling like they're getting a new experience,while new players will be able to experience the game how it should have been originally.
Single player is much the same,and this is reflected by the achievements being sparse for this mode (the bulk being in multiplayer).However new modes have been added to offer a little bit more value for money.The first mode makes you play the boss battles one after the other,and the second lets you go through each campaign mission,with everything that is destructible is given a points value.
Definitely worth a look if you liked the original and should now be reasonably priced (apart from at blockbuster) for people that missed it the first time round.
