Lost: Via Domus

That should be reason enough not to play the game, right? But wait, there’s more...

The first few episodes in the game are completely devoid of any sort of action, and are boring as hell. The boredom is multiplied by the extremely poorly written dialogs and terrible facial animation. I don’t usually criticize games for having bad facial animation, but in a game like Lost: Via Domus where there’s more ‘Blah Blah’ and almost non-existent ‘Bang Bang’, character interaction plays an important role. Sadly, the characters here have (subtle, yet) noticeable facial spasms while talking to you, and their expressions almost never match their emotions. You’ll see them smile retardedly while delivering bad news, or have no expression while they’re happy – it’s just so wrong that it’ll make you cringe in pain.

The bottomline is that unless you’re a diehard fan of the series who owns everything with ‘Lost’ written on it, steer clear of this one. There’s not much revealed about the TV series’ story either, so that reason for playing the game gets shot down instantly.
