Lost Blog

After succesfully completing this game last night on the PC, only one word comes to mind that can describe it, and that is… dissapointing.

I started playing this game on Sunday evening and within three days I’d completed it (only playing for a couple of hours each day). In total I’d say there is about 6-8 hours of “gameplay” in this game.

As a huge Lost fan I was expecting alot more from this game, but I think the creators spent too much time on making it look pretty rather than actual gameplay/storyline.

The voices of the characters are shameful. The worst out of the lot is probably Charlie - the person who did his voiceover did a terrible job! The look of the characters were ok but there were a couple that didn’t look like who they were supposed to be (ie. Michael!).

There isn’t any proper action or gameplay to this. You get to shoot a gun a couple of times but you can only draw it when you need to - I’d expect you to be able to use the gun at anytime incase you want to shoot at random things etc. The puzzles are repetitive. Or should I say puzzle! There are so many fuse boxes you have to fix in this game that it becomes a bit tedious! And where are all the adventures? Not once did the main character get to go on a hike with Kate and co.

I was also expecting this game to keep up with the story of what had happened. One minute Locke had found a hatch, the next everyone was going inside the hatch (no explaination of Locke blowing it up). If I hadn’t watched Lost before I would’ve had no idea what had just happened.

You definately need to be a fan of the TV show to enjoy this game.

The ending was very weird and very disappointing. It was at that point in the game I was really getting into it, when BAM - roll credits and it’s over!

I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone, even if you are a Lost fan. It was a pointless waste of time.

Overall: 5/10 (and that’s being generous!)
