Lost: Via Domus for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I've had this in my queue since it came out, but it was never HIGH on my list. Well, gamefly finally sent it when the other 15-or-so games I wanted to play more weren't available, and I'm glad they did!

This game took up two whole evenings of my life; I'd be urinated had I bought it. But as a rental, and with low expectations, I was entertained & surprised.

What's good:
- If you like the show, you'll appreciate the way the game's 'episodes' are structured. I got a kick out of the "previously..." recaps, and there are times when you segue into a cutscene that mimics the show's 'feel' well, complete with the "Lost" logo effect.

- If you're a fan of the 80's/90's style adventure game -- the type where you take item x to area y to solve a puzzle, along a linear story path -- you'll like the gameplay.

What's bad:
- The accumulation of items you find to trade w/characters for objects is an unnecessary annoyance, considering how sparse the uses are for the items. This isn't a dungeon crawler.

- If you aren't familiar with the show, the game would probably make no sense at all. If you ARE familiar with the show, the way this story ties in with the show's plot is mediocre at best, and frustratingly vague.

The Summary:
Do you hate how Lost (the show) doesn't answer any questions, but instead gives plot twists that beg MORE questions? This game won't help your opinion of the show AT ALL.

But if you like quick story games, and wouldn't mind getting a couple dozen xbox 360 achievements knocked out in a few hours, then this is your game!

If you're a fan of the show like me, then you'll like this game. If you don't watch the show, then you will probably not appreciate this game.
The gameplay can be a little clunky at times, running into invisible walls in the jungle & and the beach. I do appreciate the "choose your own adventure" type of communication your computer has. I was impressed with the graphics, and they did a really good job on the matching the show's character's faces.
Is this game worth $59.99? Not so much. It should have had a starting price of $49.99, and then would definitely be worth it.
