Conclusion:

While not a bad game, but certainly a short one, Lost: Via Domus is a game for fans of the show that will be able to truly understand everything around them and even go searching for Easter eggs. Saying that Lost: Via Domus has a lot of cut scenes would be an understatement and I`d even venture as far as to say that it is a movie with some minor interruptions in the form of gameplay. Had it not been for the "Lost" in the title, and the familiar surroundings, then the game would have probably gone unnoticed. This is not the case though, and if you are a fan of the show then you should definitely try this. If you`re not a fan, then I have serious doubts that you will enjoy this, but the graphics are definitely worth checking out. I miss the good old days when a game had more than graphics on its side...

Gameplay: 66

Except for photographing things from your past, there just isn`t any part of the game that provides enjoyment that lasts. The mini games available aren`t very diversified and the search for "Lost" fuses seems to be the most important. You can buy a gun from Sawyer (of course) and use it three times during the game, and that`s the action part of the game... You feel like a mouse in a maze, with no way to get out or make a wrong turn, since everyone is telling you what to do. Where`s the fun in that?

Graphics: 89

A serious step forward from most games, probably including Crysis as well. The good thing is that not only does it look good, but works on regular computers and not nuclear power plants like most modern games. Max details should be accessible to anyone with a good video card, since this is the major requirement, and will allow you to fully enjoy the graphics of the game. Too bad there is always something chasing you through the jungle, since I would have liked a nice stroll. There`s always the beach though Kate refuses every single time I invite her, though...

Sound: 83

I bet you were expecting everyone to sound just like they do on TV, weren`t you? So was I, but unfortunately this isn`t the case. I seriously didn`t like how Sawyer and Locke sounded like, but keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and some of you might not agree. The music was great on the other hand, and contributed to the gaming experience. From the eerie sounds of the dark caves, to the menacing sound of the black smoke, everything sounded just like it should.

Multiplayer: n/a

Hardware: 85

Surprisingly good performance on a modest computer but a good video card is required. The loading times are annoying at times, but you rarely die in the game, so this is kept at a minimum. I encountered no bugs and the game was very stable, unlike others. Releasing a stable excellent looking game seems to be more difficult for an increasing number of companies, so Lost: Via Domus was a pleasant surprise in this regard.
