The wait for Capcom’s next exclusive-to-360 blockbuster Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is nearly over, with the final game shipping early in the new year on January 12th, carrying a PEGI 16 rating.
It’s bound to sell shedloads, if the number of Lost Planet demos already downloaded from Xbox Live is anything to go by, as Capcom has today announced that the single-player and multiplayer demos of the game have been downloaded over one million times by the global Xbox community.
Since the multiplayer demo was released on November 23, players have spent nearly 300,000 hours locked in chilly, snow-based combat.
If you haven’t got involved already, note that you need to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber in order to play the multiplayer demo, in which you can take part in online matches in the “Pirate Fortress” stage with up to 15 others.
Hiroshi Tobisawa, President of Capcom Europe, said, “Since we made the multiplayer demo available through Xbox Marketplace, there have been hundreds of thousands of hours spent playing the game, which is a great testament to the quality of Lost Planet. This latest demo has completely energized the Xbox community, giving them something to look forward to in the New Year, when the next big hit Xbox 360 title hits retail.”
As with any self-respecting triple-A game release, Capcom will also be releasing a Limited Edition of Lost Planet packaged in a custom designed steel bookcase featuring exclusive cover art plus game, art book with exclusive concept art and a load of multimedia content, plus exclusive access to an additional multiplayer map for several months before it is made available as a free download on Xbox Live Marketplace, in summer 2007.

We love their games, ad Lost Planet is gonna be another cracker 360 game. After Dead Rising you'd think the next good Capcom fix would be RE5, can't wait to see how much that downloads.
Perhaps this is another game that can help 360 in japan.
