Lost Planet spin-off out now for PS3 and 3DS
E.X. Troopershas yet to be announced for a release on Western shores. And if Capcom Senior Vice-PresidentChristian Svensson’s wordsare anything to go by that’s not likely to happen. So unless you’re still holding out hope to the contrary, it looks like importing is the only option for now.
TheLost Planetspin-off released in Japan earlier this week, and ifFamitsu’s early review scoresof the game are anything to go by, the game sounds pretty damn good. That’s something I can attest to after spending some time with the game’s Japanese demo.
Though I can’t speak the language,E.X. Troopersseems like a fairly straightforward third-person shooter and its one that I’d like to spend more time with. Just about everything from the gorgeous cel-shaded look of the game to J-pop/techno soundtrack and manga aesthetic emanates style and personality. If you’re interested you’re able to download the demo from the Japanese PlayStation Network Store or grab the full game from one of the usual channels.
