Lost: Via Domus

A little Lost goes a long way with diehard fans. So, while I wished there were some deeper gameplay moments or a longer adventure (the game clocks in at about seven hours), I couldn't imagine, as a Lost fan, not playing this game and loving what it has to offer.

It had the incredibly difficult job of creating a new character in the Lost world with an interesting enough side-story, able to exist without disrupting the timeline or feeling like an aberration, and able to expose fans to at least a handful of things with which they would be satisfied, even eager, to tinker. There's no question it achieves that.

If you are a fan of the show, this is an add-on you do not want to miss.

The game is incredibly short, clocking in at five to six hours, and focuses too much on the things fans of the series do not want to do (random puzzles and hating your favorite characters) rather than the things they want, like exploring the island or being rewarded an answer or two.

If you’re not a fan of Lost in any way, there is just no way I can possibly recommended this game to you.

While Lost tries to encapsulate the spirit of the series, it ends up smothered by it, restricted from being anything more than a shiny tourist guide to the set and characters. [Apr 2008, p.84]

It’s all pointless though because the writers of the TV show have since said that this game doesn’t even take part in the official chronology, making this nothing more than glorified fan fiction.

As a major fan of the series this game is a bit of a let down. It's still a decent game and well worth a play through for all fans of the series. Not much more than a one time play through waiting for you here.

As an extension of the show and it's lore, this is perfectly fine. As a complete video game? Not so much.

No es un gran juego pero tampoco es horrible, es simple y no tiene una gran duración pero si te gusta la serie vas a disfrutarlo, en algunas partes puede frustrar al jugador pero no por la dificultad del juego (ya que hay muy pocos combates en el juego) si no por no saber como avanzar. En fin si te gusta la serie te lo recomiendo si no mejor gastate la plata en otra cosa.

the story was par for the course but it was not fun to play very limited linear story challenging puzzles. It compliment the shows story mainly but still bites on the replay ability Beat once never played again and I'll lock it in a vault an forget after sometime passes or i watch the show.

This is a game that MIGHT be worth a rent if your a hardcore fan and very forgiving. However if you happen to have standards it will leave you either irritated or bored with only a easy 1,000gs completion to make the pain go away. Apart from offering no challenge, it never offers up any inside scoop to island secrets or character revelations. The new protagonist is dull, the voice acting is bad and the game mechanics border on clunky to laughable. Worth a rent if your desperate for more lost, but do so with the knowlege it's mediocre.
