I recently bought lost via domus, if none of anda know what that is i will explain. lost via domus is the new lost video game where anda play a new survivor with ammnesia, your job is to find out your past and try to get home. Ok now on to my review, please beruang in mind i have never done anything like this before as in reviewing things and just thought i would give it a try.
What do anda think when anda hear the word Lost? How about when anda hear lost the game? Well don't fear lost Via Domus is NOT as bad as most people say it is. But in order to enjoy it there are a few things anda should know...
Story
The story in Via Domus is pretty good, there are lots of lost like moments that make anda want to carry on playing. Such as at the end of one of the 7 episodes theres a cliffhanger followed oleh the lost title, which we see at the end of a normal episode. Followed oleh a previously on lost when the selanjutnya episode starts. This is really cool as it really does feel like the show.
The first few episodes 1,2 and 3 are relivley short but the rest are a lot longer and sometimes require anda to travel through the jungle.
Our main character meets most of the Losties during his adventure, but be ready not to see them all. Walt, Shannon, Boone and most of the tailes. Altho i have read in some reviews anda never see any of them, this is not true as in a flashback i noticed a cameo from Mr Eko(hes well hidden).
The story is linear and doesnt let anda make choices such as save so and so atau dont follow who ever but it is still good but dont expect to be involved in the main events such as blowing the hatch up as anda where not there on the Tv tampil so i see this as fair.
Time does go faster on the island. Trust me byt he detik episode Michael is already talking about building a rakit but this is easy to not care about as it would be nice to be there everyday its just not going to happen.
Gameplay
The gameplay is solid mostly, anda wander the iland talking to different people, trading with them and doing puzzles. There is the odd running scene where anda have to run, jump and slide which is fun to do and dont exspect an all out action experience from this game because thats not what it is.
The flashbacks involve using the camera, trying to get the right focus and zoom in is the main thing to do. After taking the foto of an even anda will shown what happens and then are free to wander around in your memory, there isnt much to do in your memory other than find 3 items ,which give anda an achviement on 360, but they mainly just give anda lebih clues as to whats going on. Lets just say theres a lot of talk about Hanso.
The only real problem is finding your way through the jungle, constanly anda will take wrong turns then the game will tell anda that its the wrong way. This is only a real problem when being chased oleh the 'black somke' but other than that its easy to get used to.
Puzzles in the game can be challenging, it will be to either fix a fuses box (which can take time)or answer some IQ pertanyaan which i found pretty easy.
authenticity
This is the biggest appeal to most fan of the show. With it having most areas to scale. anda will vist it alot of different lost locations such as;
The Hatch, The Flame, The Cockpit, The Hyrda, The Polar beruang cave, The Black rock, i could go on.
But there are two locations that anda cannot walk to and enter they have to be found either oleh means of a secret code atau oleh finding a hidden item in the grass. These two areas are, the medical station and the pearl.
The voices of the characters has been the biggest worry for me. But in the end only one atau two where really bad. Locke and Charlie for me where the worst they sounded nothing like the actual people. Luckly its easy to but this aside and enjoy the game. Unfortunatly for me and I can't stop being annoyed about how charlie sounds.
Most of the characters look very very much like the real people for example Jake, Kate and Locke look spot on where as Hurley looks overly fat on his face region and Claire looks out of it most of the time.
easter eggs
This game is backed full of easter eggs, they are pretty good and fun to find and only true lost fan will get most of them. Ones like sun suddenley talking english atau finding lockes wheelchair on the beach. My presonal fav is when hurley meantions how he got his nickname but anda not hearing the full story.
overall
secara keseluruhan, keseluruhan this game is a fun enjoyable experience that every lost fan should play if anda dont want to buy it i suggest renting it at least. It is a short game with some probelms but hey nothings perfect.
