Introduction: Why a 100% Save File for Lost Planet 2 Still Matters Released in 2010 by Capcom, Lost Planet 2 was a bold evolution of the original.

On a console, this might be a badge of honor. On a PC, especially with a repack (a compressed, pre-cracked version of the game from groups like FitGirl, ElAmigos, or RG Mechanics), time is often more valuable than bragging rights.
