First reviews of Lost: Via Domus trickle out

Wilsooooon! What? You haven’t heard of this game? You’re not interested in a video game cash in of Lost? Either way you now have reason to be excited, as the first couple of reviews have come out and the verdict is more than anybody could have expected from Ubisludge.

Here is a summary of the reviews;

Lost: Via Domus as a game hits its stride in the second act. Casual gamers who give the game a spin before purchasing probably aren’t going to buy this game. Lost fans, of course, won’t be able to stay away. This kind of narrow market appeal is a bad idea, because while Lost has an enormous fan base it’s relatively small when you winnow it down to gamers and split that over the three platforms supported. Hardcore adventure gamers without a Lost addiction will be quick to dismiss its scripted by-the-numbers quests.

It is very difficult to talk about this game without giving away any of the story, but it really is one of those play it for yourself adventures that you must experience rather than read about. When I began playing this game I really didn’t think I would like it due to the impossible task I felt the developers faced in making it any good, however I was so wrong, I managed to complete the game start to finish in twelve hours and I tell you what, the ending is just typical of the TV series. Lost is a brilliant game and therefore I have to say that in my eyes Ubisoft have achieved the impossible, hats off to them.

Overall, as a fan of the show, I am looking forward to this game, what’s more it’s created by the same development team who gave us Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell and *cough* Assassin’s Creed.
