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. Planet Xbox 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.
As a Lost fan, I enjoyed exploring the island and interacting with survivors from the Oceanic Flight ; as a videogames player, Via Domus feels like a wasted opportunity. Gaming Age. A decent digital recreation of the show, with mediocre story and adventure gameplay, counterbalanced by oodles of Lost fan-service. User Reviews. Write a Review.

Well, I guess you have to take it on faith that the character was there all along, but they seamlessly blend the character into the mythos so well that it … Expand.

Everything seems to be repeating itself when suddenly Lisa stumbles out of the wreckage , covered in blood, and yells happily, "Elliott! Oh my god, we made it. We're alive. Elliott is a photojournalist, romantically involved with his colleague Lisa. He wants the story for himself, and to that end he tips off Savo's bodyguards to Lisa's reporting.
Savo orders her to be executed; Elliott escapes with photographs of the entire affair, but Savo finds out. He orders Beady Eyes , his bodyguard, to follow Elliott onto the plane and destroy the photographs. Walt , Rose , Bernard , Boone , Shannon , Nikki , and Paulo are among the main and supporting characters that are not in the game. Via Domus consists of several types of gameplay.
Much of the game is spent in interactive conversation with other characters, while the rest consists of jungle exploration, wiring repair puzzles, rediscovering Elliott's past with the use of flashbacks , photography, and collecting important objects. These will also allow you to gain achievements on the Xbox version of the game.
The game's producers have taken artistic license with some of the show's continuity so as to include more action. For example the Others now stalk the jungle with rifles , willing to kill anyone who comes within range, as well as the Monster being much more active.
The producers have stated that the storyline of Lost: Via Domus is not canon to the show [2]. However, these aspects of the game are official canon to Lost :. In Australia, the game is rated M recommended for mature audiences due to "moderate themes" and "moderate violence".
There have been three trailers launched to promote Lost: Via Domus. The launch trailer was shown at Comic-Con The second trailer was released later on, and included more game footage and information about the plot.
The third trailer was released after Via Domus was in stores. Lost: Via Domus was received with average reviews by critics and the fan community. Metacritic's score for the game is 52 [6].
Negatively received components included: the poor voice acting [10] with IGN calling Locke an "old timey prospector" and Sawyer " Huckleberry Hound " [11] , the short length of the game [12] , the "poorly implemented" action sequences [13] , and the appearance of the characters [14] Jorge Garcia commented on his blog that Hurley was the scariest thing he'd ever seen in a video game [15].
Positively received aspects of the game were: the ability to explore many well-presented existing and new Island locations [16] [17] [18] , the twist ending [19] [20] , the dialogue options [21] , and the flashback sequences [22] [23].
If so, the game was set to be released in , after the show's end, but it would not be a direct sequel of Via Domus. However, nothing concrete was ever apparently developed for a sequel. Please note, that although the series' producers state this game is only loosely canon, the fact that the story reboots itself to the first day of Oceanic Flight 's crash on the island at the end of the game means that ALL of these continuity errors really mean nothing. Graphics were really good for game, specially on pc.
It had all the major locations from the tv show and most characters. Let's be honest, you could have expected better. But in general, I really liked this game. The game is just like the show. I'm getting the PC version The game is just like the show. I'm getting the PC version though You just need a good machine to run it. This game is only for lost fans, the game is pretty good as a lost episode but could have been a lot better.
I laughed my way trough the This game is only for lost fans, the game is pretty good as a lost episode but could have been a lot better. I laughed my way trough the first few levels then it started to grow on me, but not all that much. I would only recommend Lost: "via domus" to lost fans that don't mind a trudge through a not so great adventure game to get at the lost content.
I gave this a 7 because I liked the story. This game is really not very good at all, but the score I'm giving it is due almost entirely to one thing: an approach to the "amnesiac This game is really not very good at all, but the score I'm giving it is due almost entirely to one thing: an approach to the "amnesiac player character" that has not been done before. As with the show itself, the compelling flashbacks reveal more and more of the character until you discover that you may not be all that you wish you were.
This parallel to the show's overall structure, in excruciatingly short miniature is an innovative way to get the emotional appeal of the show across in a pathetically brief time frame.
In short, this would make a really great game. PS Hurley's comment when you snap out of a flashback is worth the price of admission for the die-hard fan. It's is a licensed game so it is bound to be rubbish it usually is always sometimes a bad idea to turn tv shows into video games. Essential Links. By Metascore By user score.
