Lost: Via Domus
Xbox 360
I'll See You In Another Life, Brotha
1.5/5 stars
You know, I'm such a LOST fanboy and such a casual gamer that after I had spent 10 bucks on Via Domus, my mind made me think this game was good. Obviously, the thrill wore off, after...oh, a total of probably an hour, after which I realized that I was stuck and I simply didn't care; coming up with distractions just so I wouldn't have to continue trying to play it.
So, yeah, I didn't even come close to finishing it. Initially, I wanted to play it simply as a fan of LOST and maybe get some more back story on the island, characters, mythos, etc. After all, it was written by the LOST team...which I think is strange, considering a lot of the voice work is, not only mostly done voice actors who didn't actually play the characters they are voicing on the t.v. series, but the voice acting is flat out poor and badly delivered. For the real actors who did decide to participate, all whom I find to be fantastic actors, are so bland, bored, and insouciant in their delivery.
The writing itself isn't even all that great, and that is something I would never say about LOST, but there's NOTHING going on. You play a guy who has amnesia, and the player revisits the earlier seasons, and I COULDN'T. CARE. LESS.
For the actual gaming part, I mean there's not much to say! It's really boring and cheesy. Hard to move. Hard to understand what's going on. Hard to communicate with AI characters, and most of all it doesn't feel like LOST. At all.
I believe the story of this game takes place around season 3 and 4. Trust me, it does not reveal anything, you're better off watching the remaining season, because well...it's the greatest dramatic series ever on television. Unfortunately, I can't give the same kind of praise for this game.
