I picked this game up the other night on a whim. I heard that it sucked but was fun for true Lost fans..gotta say I can't disagree with that feeling.

The story doesn't focus on any of the main characters, although they are present and you interact with most of them. You play Elliot, an amnesic crash surviving photojournalist. The storyline is pretty plain and simple, in fact it almost seems like they had a story already and tacked it onto the Lost universe. The main plotline is finding out who you are. To accomplish this you do several mundane tasks and periodically go through "flashbacks" in which you have to take a picture of a certain event to "remember" your past. It's all very...odd and frustrating trying to get just the right angle of the scene to trigger the remembering part.

The best part about the game is you get to visit several detailed Island locations from all the DHARMA stations to the Black Rock, you even get to see what was behind the magnetic wall in the Swan (hint: not that impressive). The game features some of the actual actors doing voice work and most of the fill-ins do a decent job...the notable exception being whoever voiced John Locke, he sounds like some old-timey prospector from Scooby-Doo.

The game is a good romp for about 4 hours of work. If your an Achievement whore the games 1000 points can be had with hardly any work. I'm not a Gamerscore freak by any stretch and I got 960 points on my playthrough (the 2 achievements I missed could be had if I put in maybe another 10 minutes of my time). Most can be obtained by doing things vital to move the story along anyway. The ending is a big WTF moment, and not in a good way like you normally expect from Lost.

If you were thinking of getting this game and are not a Lost fan I'd classify it as a renter considering the short playtime involved..or wait until it eventually drops down to a sub $10 price. Lost fans though should pick it up if only for the cool ability to walk around set locations.

**update 7/5 - all achievements unlocked. Lost - Via Domus is my first 1000/1000 Xbox 360 game!
