I've just started my "high-end gaming" experience after buying a geforce 8800GTS (to go along with my E6300  CPU) and I decided to try the LP demo because people were saying it has really beautiful graphics.

Yes indeed it looks great, but man it has lots of problems. It crashes after some minutes of game and it will get my computer stuck after I try to leave the game with the Exit button.

It's really annoying, but these problems aside, the game isn't really good as well. I wasn't expecting a brilliant game, with extra cool features, just to have a cool smooth shooting experience.

Well, except the rocket launcher everything feels bad. The shooting feels weird, I hit them but can't really see anything, no blood or nothing. The death animation is scripted, but still looks like they're alive for some seconds. And the weapons don't seem to shoot, I ask myself "this is time to reload? I didn't even shoot!".

I don't like to complain, but this was one awfull trip. Beautiful graphics, that don't cover the simply bad gameplay.

This is the 2nd 360 port that I've heard bad things about this week.  First was DIRT and now this.  I tried DIRT for myself and the 360 version looks and runs better for me.  I hope the final game will be better.  I also hope Lost Planet isn't too butchered because the gameplay was not bad at all on 360.

Weird, I don't have any problems and my rig is: E6300, 7600GT, 1GB RAM, it even works really good on medium/high settings.

But I downloaded DX9 version, try that, it might be more stable. 

And yeah, this will probably be a bad port, since capcom does the worst ports in known universe (maybe even in an unknown)..

I use DX9 because I have windows XP and not Vista...

But man, nothing can cover the bland shooting. I don't even want to go on details, and I can keep thrashing my complaints for about most of the demo.

On a side note, the frame rate is stable, above the 40s always and mostly 50s. (1024x768 resolution, though).

Not even partnering with NVIDIA and Microsoft could Capcom overcome their tradition of console-to-PC port mediocrity.

Dorry I have to revoke your opinion, but what was fun about it? Messing around with the destructible enviorment maybe, but anything else was damn annoying. Did you understand what does T-ENG means? And how come the characters life drains down to 0 but goes up instantly?

It's not like any of it is hard to figure out. It's no different from any other shooter except this has better graphics, a fun grappling hook, larger environments, and a fun atmosphere. Oh yea, and awesome monsters.

I tried LP demo and highly dissapointed with it regarding perfomance . I know i don't've a super rig still DX 9 demo runs like crap ( lowest - highest settings) on my C2D E6300 , Nvdia 7950 GT 512 mb card , 2 Gigs DDR 2 Ram and O/S XP Pro .I've latest DX 9 , latest nvidia drivers too .

I gave up hope for the game till Full game come out maybe with patches .And then if i hear guys with similiar rig like mine can run the game fine , i'll get it .

Who made Devil May Cary 3 for PC? Capcom? If so, then I am not touching Lost Planet.

I've seen it running on 360 and it didn't look that impressive on that format. A huge reliance on auto-aim to hit anything, and the guns were mostly a bit flimsy.
