Game review: Lost - Via Domus
Based on the TV series, Lost: Via Domus captures the spirit of the show but fails to create a decent game. Playing as a new character on the island, your story intertwines with events from seasons one and two of the show. Ostensibly an old-fashioned adventure game, Lost gets you speaking to characters, solving puzzles and exploring the island.
In theory, this should be great. But clunky and anachronistic gameplay - instant death and invisible barriers rear their aged heads - quell enthusiasm. The flashbacks work well, though, not least because they advance the story - the strongest aspect of the game. But the production values are mixed.
The music and voices are decent - “Previously on Lost” - but the graphics are patchy. The jungle is convincing but some of the other locales can look flat. Diehards will probably still persevere, with opportunities to visit many of the locations from the show. But Lost: Via Domus is one for patient fans only.
