3 Stars just ok. Stuck on one level though that I can’t figure out
it’s a decent game not much to it but fun to play. Not medal gear or call of duty material!

1 Star that’s about it
the graphics are ok ive seen better but they’ll do. The gameplay quite good abit average really but the game does have a clever plot like every object or enemy has thermal energy that you collect, when it blows up or dies. The VR is fun when you first try it but then when you have to use it loads it gets a bit tedious I also bought Conan with this. Im sorry but Lost planet got lost and collected dust because Conan completely dominated it in everyway mind they are two completely different games so i can’t compare them. But Conan was just more fun in my view anyway when I had nothing left to play on except back too those never ending boring ones Oblivion and Quake wars I just had no choice and played on this. I concentrated a bit more on the storyline and it actually isn’t a total let down. If your into Sci fi and imaginative aliens this is the one for you if you want a game thats entertaining I would,nt reccommend this one too you. Good bosses and its challenging and puts up a good fight on hard and normal. Notice Ive never said Brillant or Fantastic this is because nothing in this game has been amazing all average really I suppose It has a good storyline, mind the Humans are trying too make this Planet earth 2(EDN 3) and want to kill all life on it we already have Earth! Capcom stick to earth and focus on Resident evil and Devil may cry their the games your good at.

5 Stars Great game - Gran juego
This is a great game from CAPCOM. I liked the game from the beginning to the end. It’s challenging but not too hard. I recommend it, you won’t be disappointed !

5 Stars A must-have for Acer Aspire One owners
How can you go wrong? Every netbook maker should include this as an accessory. Compact, reliable, and long enough.

3 Stars Works well…until it fails
Bought this unit about a 10 months ago. I stowed it in my bag attached to my laptop’s power brick. Unwittingly, over time, as it jostled around in my bag, that caused the edge of the spool casing to rub against part of the cord (right at the base of the plug) and it severed one of the wires, rendering it useless. It worked really well before this, but I would have hoped it’d be a bit less prone to damaging itself (such as by the wire guides having rounded corners instead of sharp(ish) ones). I’ll buy another one, but only because it’s so cheap and I haven’t found a substitute that looks markedly better. So, 3 stars…not bad, but not great.

5 Stars Retractable PC Power Cable
This is a great product. Although it is only half of the connection between your notebook and the wall, in my case, it still saves me quite a bit of clutter and space in my bag.

2 Stars Retractable?
After a few weeks of use, it got jammed. There is no way to open to spool without breaking it, so I pulled the wire. Then it popped open and the springs popped out. I have since used it as a regular power cable. I wouldn’t recommend this product at all unless it is the most inexpensive notebook power cable since the only good thing about it is that the cable itself is durable and has adequate length (not too short, not too long).

5 Stars Good travel laptop cable
I bought this to help reduce my cable clutter when I’m traveling. I’m pretty pleased with the result. It is fairly chunky, the retractor hub is 2 1/4″ in diameter and 3/4″ thick, but it still takes up less space than my old cable, with less mess. It seems sturdy and well built.

It replaces the laptop AC cable, i.e the cable from the wall AC outlet to the laptop’s power transformer. (It doesn’t replace the transformer!) At the transformer end, it supports the standard two prong “Figure Eight” connector and includes an adapter for the three prong “Mickey Mouse” connector. These are the two most common laptop power connectors.
