GamerLimit Review - Lost: Via Domus

GamerLimit: "Warning: This game is for Lost viewers only. Any others who try and partake in it will be hopelessly lost, confused, and angry about wasting their time.

Lost: Via Domus is an action adventure game that goes lightly on the game aspects. Quite simply there isn't really much of a game to find here. Lost: Via Domus places the player in the shoes of Elliot Maslow, a photojournalist who just happened to be on Oceanic flight 815 and mysteriously becomes an amnesiac. So Elliot sets off on the island to recover his lost memories and figure out what is going on. So begins the mediocre fanfic that is the Lost game.

Lost: Via Domus is divided into seven episodes, each having a flashback sequence in it; taking place during seasons one and two of Lost. During these episodes, each taking about 20-40 minutes to complete, the player takes tasks from various characters on the island including wandering through dark caves, fetching items, and fuse puzzles. During the flashback sequences a torn photograph is shown, the player must then find the scene depicted in the photograph and capture it with their camera. This triggers the memory allowing more of Elliot's past to be viewed. Players must gather items to trade to other characters to gain needed and useful items to use during the missions they partake in; the items, however, are scattered across the environment in obvious places, making this seem like an unnecessary waste of time since the player almost always already has enough items to gain the required ones."
