- Lost Via Domus will be tempting to fans obsessed with the show, but the story—as good as it is--has no bearing whatsoever on the overall canon. It’s short, much of the gameplay amounts to a hurdle to get to the next cutscene, and at just over five hours long, under no circumstances can we recommend it for a purchase.
Game Trailers · Mar 22, 2008 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360 - A game that dares insinuate a character into a long-running show and hopes you didn't notice he wasn't around before can't be trusted to replicate the experience of the show. A game that offers all the TV characters but gives you impersonators for the voices is a cheap, nasty rip-off. That is Lost Via Domus. Avoid it like you would Season 4 spoilers.
Craig Pearson · Mar 18, 2008 Reviewed on PC - For the most diehard of Lost followers, the time spent with the game will be enjoyable. Unfortunately, it is over way too fast. Via Domus is full of little hang-ups, and it requires some knowledge of the show that could potentially isolate outside players and keep them from becoming immersed in the gameworld. Ultimately, this game can be recommended for purchase only to the most diehard of Lost fans.
Don Francis · Feb 29, 2008 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - Although far from ugly, more polished visuals would have helped no end, and the lack of the full voice cast can't be overstated. If you want to visit the Lost island (and earn a load of Achievement points very easily if you're playing on Xbox 360), and don't mind having your hand held throughout, give Lost a look. Just don't expect a new super TV show/video game hybrid genre.
Tom Orry · Feb 29, 2008 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - If you are of the former camp -- the kind who dreams of one day crashing on the Island just so you can personally solve its mysteries -- then you should probably rent (not buy) Via Domus. If you're in the latter category, turn away. Not a damn thing will make sense to you if you haven't watched at least the first two seasons of Lost. And there's no "game" here to make it worth playing unless you are a fan. Even then, it's only good for the final minute. At least it only takes five hours to reach the conclusion.
Hilary Goldstein · Feb 28, 2008 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Via Domus is far from a perfect game; it does a lot right--like those amazing flashbacks--but it also misses some opportunities to capitalize on this rich license. The thing is, a little Lost goes a long way with diehard fans. So, while I wished there were some deeper gameplay moments or a longer adventure (the game clocks in at about seven hours), I couldn't imagine, as a Lost fan, not playing this game and loving what it has to offer.
Matt Cabral · Feb 26, 2008 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - It’s a shame too, but if you really want to know the story behind Lost: Via Domus, save yourself the 6-7 hours of misery and just read a walkthrough of the game. You will be much happier, and if you really think you have to play the game, be prepared for one of the worst games of your life.
VGChartz Staff · Oct 01, 2008 Reviewed onRead full review - Lost: Via Domus is a pretty disappointing effort on most fronts. Fans of the show will enjoy the story and appreciate the lengths the developer has gone to in order to fit the story into the show without disrupting the existing canon, but even the biggest Lost fan will be disappointed by the short length and lack of challenge.
Matt Keller · Mar 21, 2008 Reviewed on PCRead full review - I love Lost - it's stupid, brilliant, baffling, frustrating - and I'm really glad I played this. I think other Lost fans will be too. But we will all sit back afterwards and moan about the length, and so that's the thought I'll leave you on. Booouuum.
Tom Bramwell · Feb 29, 2008 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Das größte Problem sind jedoch die zahlreichen, oft nicht vorhersehbaren Todesfallen. So stolpert Elliot in dunklen Höhlen gern mal in kleine Löcher oder jagt sich mit einer Sprengladung in die Luft, weil wir an einem Computer eine Zahl eintippen, die uns das Programm vorgeschlagen hat - man könnte meinen, die Entwickler haben ihr eines Spiel nicht gespielt.
