Bad

Milking a popular franchise name

In short, this game was nothing more than a cheap, poorly done means of cashing in on the popular franchise.

I'd rate it worse if I didn't honestly expect little from a movie/TV based game. I had low expectations and boy did this deliver...

The pros:
- It's Lost, complete with your favorite characters.
- It's short, so you can move on to something better very soon.
- It returns to the time before the church and the horrible last season.

The cons:
- Everything else.

The only thing I expected out of the game was maybe for it to reveal a little more of the back story that wasn't in the show. But honestly, you don't learn anything about the island you didn't already know. Neither do you learn anything about the main characters you don't already know. It just adds a new character to the pantheon of characters. And a rather uninteresting character at that.

I honestly just sort of had to muscle my way through the game. There was nothing drawing me to play other than trying to get to the end so I could send it back.

ended so abruptly me that it made me mad. i dont usually write reviews but i felt like i would do a great injustice if i didnt voice my opinion on such an disappointing game. it did no justice to one of the (in my opinion) best tv series EVER! Only fans of the series should even think about renting this game. Its worth a look at, at the very least. If you know nothing about Lost, spare yourself the agony.

Horrible

Lost its way

Like many others that played this games, I too am a huge lost fan. I should have thought twice in retrospect. i could not get past about an hour of game play. the whole movement of the character was a let down. i would have loved to have been able to explored the island and find and do things on my own rather then jsut follow a lost episode script. my other let down was the voices of my beloved lost characters were completely off. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!
