Comment

An enhanced re-release of [[game:Lost Planet: Extreme Condition]].

Some of the important highlights being:
- New single- and multiplayer game modes
- <i>Cross-platform</i> multiplayer

Unfortunately your achievements aren't shared with this from the old game, nor can you move your save games to it. So you pretty much lose all that unless you still want to play the regular version in addition to Colonies.
