 Disappointing, even for fans of the show June 28, 2008
Lost: Via Domus is a very disappointing game. I'm a very big fan of the Lost TV Show. I've watched every episode more than once. I've bought books about the show. I've checked out websites to get more details about the show. Even with the negative reviews of the game, I took a chance because I thought my love of the show would be enough to make it worth my time. Unfortunately the game is just too much of a mess.
As mentioned in other reviews, the game feels empty. In the TV Show, almost all of the scenes out on the beach are filled with characters, some important, some not. In the game you're lucky if there are half a dozen people in an area. So instead of making it feel like you're "playing the TV show," you just get reminded of what you're missing.
Certain game conceits, the things done to provide you with some game play, directly contradict the show. You character walks around finding water bottles lying around island, but the show made a big point of how scare those bottles were. They were hoarded by certain characters, not scattered across the beach and the jungle.
There are annoying cave sequences that feel tacked on and not in the spirit of the show.
The passage of time feels inconsistent. Events that occur weeks apart apparently happen during the time it takes to walk from the beach to some location in the jungle. Also, some events almost certainly didn't happen within the Lost continuity, which feels like a cheat, since part of the reason of playing the game is to learn more answers about the island.
There were some good things. I liked exploring some of the locations from the TV Show, as they felt pretty true to the sets used on the show. The graphics were decent. It definitely doesn't push the game system, but it looks better than it probably could have on the previous generation's consoles. Some of the voice work is good, though some of the characters don't sound anything like their TV show counterparts.
My biggest problem with the game is that is just isn't very fun. I played the game for the story, and while it was pretty good, it is surrounded by a system that makes it a chore to play. I think fans of the show should just find a summary of the plot details online and skip the game entirely.
 Don't waste your money! April 19, 2008

This game was TERRIBLE. The premise is that you are a new character on Oceanic 815 and you need to learn about your past as you work through the game. Unfortunately, what could have been a really cool interactive environment is actually very limited. The voice acting is just plain awful and the story line is convuluted. The game begins with the crash and then somehow, while investigating the wreckage, you encounter some of the others. It's a bizzare mish-mash of seasons 1, 2 and 3. Also, the way you "remember" your past is by using a camera to photograph memories. You have to frame and focus the camera just right in order to be able to access those memories. It ends up adding an extra task to something that should have been a cool feature adding to the story line. I quit playing this game after about 2 hours due to the frustration of the inane and non-sensical tasks and the limited ability to manipulate the environment with the characters. Unless you are a huge "Lost" fan who is absorbing every new story you can get your hands on, save your money. It's not worth all of the frustration!
 Great graphics. Kinda boring. April 14, 2008
Some of the actors from Lost do provide their voice for their character, which is kinda cool and the graphics are great! But overall the game was disappointing. There is so much they could have done with the game. I'm surprised they didn't take advantage of all the possibilities Lost has to offer.
Good but quick April 6, 2008
The game was enjoyable, but it only took a week of limited play (meaning between a full-time job and other responsibilities) to complete. Quite a few of the answers you're guided to, although the fuses and the black wind take a bit more thought and skill.
Overall, again, the game was enjoyable, but it seems a waste to buy when easily finished and not really replayable. In hindsight, I would have rented this instead of purchasing.
A major letdown... March 28, 2008

I am a big LOST fan, I will be honest, I thought when the game started it was going to be an interesting and fun game with pretty decent graphics. Well, the graphics were decent, but that is about where it ended. The game took me about 3 days to finish, however I work 2 jobs and didn't take a lot of time to play it. I imagine an avid game player could wrap it up in about 4-6 hours. The situations and dialogs were predictable and there was nothing that really challenged your mind other than figuring out what direction to place the fuses in the fuse boxes in every building.
As a lost fan, I thought this would be a good addition to my LOST library, but after playing, I made the realization that I will never play this again. So I ended up selling mine back on Amazon!
Buyers beware and good luck!
