Mainly for fans of the show, even so leaves you a tad disappointed.
While I've only seen a few Lost episodes over the course of a few years, I can say I do enjoy the show. I am not a die hard fan like my friends but I do get to into it when I do watch. This game is has a lot of clips and even voices so a fan can relate. While like people like me are not on top of the story line, you can play this game without having to watch the show.
Game Play And Story. 6/10
The storyline is follows the show to a degree. The game introduces a new character that you get to play. You interact with all the characters with the show. It blends in the history of each character of the doomed flight while adding you own history. The game is mainly played from third person point of view and switches to first person view on occasion. The game is broken down into episodes with full reviews of what happened previously. Without giving away too many details on the storyline, the character your play has partial amnesia. The usual goal is to talk to certain other survivors or find objects, help with his amnesia or finding ways off the island. Certain actions trigger a flashback sequence to help fill in the blank spaces in your memory. There are a few weapons and equipment that you eventually find, there is not too many items though. The barter system is limited with you having to find two or three items to trade with and then you usually trade those items for torches or a few a bullets. The maps are smallish in size and the game is linear in terms to path finding so it will be hard to be "Lost" The puzzles are mainly show related and is not difficult to solve.
Graphics 7/10
In general this is a well detail game when playing. Most of the characters resemble their real life actors. The landscape detailed to know where you can walk and where you cannot. There is a few times where the details don't look 3-D such as plants and trees.
Sound and Music 7/10.
If you're an avid Lost Fan then you cannot notice that the music score from the show is vastly present here. The game has the actors and actresses doing the voice over for their parts from the show. The music and sounds in the game recreates the suspenseful nature of the show.
Difficulty 1/10
There is no difficulty setting for the game with only a few areas that might give a few players problems. While the player only has the one life that ends his or her game, it is easily overcome by reloading the last checkpoint or savepoint.
360 Achievements
While its easy to say this is an easy game to get the full 1000 in a few short hours, it possible to overlook a few items to miss some achievements. If you do all one has to do is restart the particular episode. So I would rate it about 2/10 on achievements
Summary
As adventure game the game is very short and if you are a fan it leaves you wanting more. The length and the difficulty of the game rate this game in the rental or serious collector category. The overall quality makes this a decent release with very little replay ability factor.
