British Gaming review
“Previously, on Lost…”; that’s how each chapter starts, that’s the level of fan service that ABC and Ubisoft have injected into Via Domus. Polar bears, smoke monsters, flashbacks, numbers, the hatch; every set piece is ripped straight from the show and carefully placed in the experience - except the game’s protagonist. You play as a new castaway, Elliot Maslow, a photojournalist who has his own amnesiac past to discover.

Let me start off by saying that I am a huge Lost fan, I absolutely love the television show. So I went into this game with really high hopes and expectations of what i wanted due to the story line that I am familiar with. You start of the game really on show one of season one. Now I know what your thinking, damn, I do not want to play the story that I have already watched, but Ubisoft has you covered on that because you actually play a new character. You play a man that has suffered amnesia from the plane crash and spend the first few levels trying to find out who you are and thats really all I am going to say about that because I do not want to spoil any of the storyline for you. So the game itself takes place over the first season of Lost and kind of ends there as well, but lets just get right into the scoring of the game.
You may be wondering if we really needed a video game based on the hit TV show Lost. While the show has a legion of fans, they've already got their hands full with the alternate reality game that went around and tons of mysteries still going on in each episode. But here comes Ubisoft with a licensed game, whether we like it or not. And frankly, unless you enjoy both light adventure games and the actual show, you'll probably not make it through this one. But for that narrow combination of fans of both, this can wind up being a pretty solid game.
I have to admit, I am a big fan of the TV series Lost, so when I heard that Ubisoft where making a game based on this popular program two things crossed my mind, the first being, would this game be any good? And secondly and perhaps more importantly, how was anyone going to make a game out of this? Well I am about to tell you the answer to both these questions and if you are a Lost fan, then you are going to be pleasantly surprised.
