LOST Via D - worth it for the fan service?
« on: June 01, 2008, 12:19:50 AM »
So who has actually gone down on this?

Demi, anyone for achievements at least?

Are the non voice cast voices that bad?

Is it worth it for the secrets and intel not shown in the show?

Fan service and extra show secrets?

I tried to make it all the way through but after my third or fourth trip in the caves I just gave up.   Supposedly there's some sort of fan service pay off at the end but it's a lot of tedious BS to get there.

You'd probably be better off just searching for the end cinema online rather than going through it.

Yes, very much worth it for fanservice

The producers have said the game wasn't Canon, but you get to explore what's behind the sealed wall in the Swan

You also get to put in the numbers, along with pushing 77 at The Flame

It's worth it for the fan service and the 1000 points. Just rent it and beat it one afternoon.

I'll probably pick it up when I get a 360. Might make the wait for the new season more bearable.

only about half the characters get their actual voices, and only one or two of the sound-alikes aren't awful.

The game itself is about seven hours long and vacillates between kinda okay and not very good.  For every clever idea it has, it also possesses another three stupid ones.  It is kinda neat to see all the environments and various easter eggs from the show (Hurley's Van, sweet!), but your story, the one you actually play, doesn't relate to the story of Lost much and isn't as interesting as the stuff you invariably keep cutting away from.

Also, you will spend almost a quarter of the game looking at this screen or some variation of it.  I'm not kidding, half of the actual gameplay consists of this switch puzzle.

So the game design is mostly crap, the graphics aren't terrible but ain't nothing special, the music's great, but they ripped a lot of it from the show (original stuff from the show's composer helps ease the pain though), and the story is only intermittently interesting.  Any non-Lost fan has absolutely no reason to play it, and any Lost fan can get by on renting it with low expectations.

Kane and Lynch
Uncharted
Haze
and every other favored whipping boy of Evilbore, are all better games, but none of them have a guy imitating Terry O' Quinn shouting "Don't tell me what I can't do!" for no damn reason.

I got this game over the weekend....

Only played it for a few moments in between MGS4 Frenzy and maintaining my Commando 3 rank....

Id say it does deliver on the fan service end. I dont even mind the bad voice acting considering its DEFINATELY a video game and not really immersive at all...

It just feels like a missing set of LOST episodes with some sillyness (like finding that driveshaft CD on the beach)
