I'm not exactly lovin' this game. It's slow, it's boring and I would happily man the cannons that fired most of the cast of LOST into the sun. I got sucked into the first season and enjoyed the second until about halfway through. Jury's still out on actually watching the third and fourth seasons. I'd rather be watching Supernatural.

The game is kind of like a point and click PC adventure that prefers to go with the "aimless wandering" route rather than narrowing the game's focus into "innovative use gameplay". So I actually got bored in the middle of a crash site and wandered for twenty minutes on a wreckage strewn beach. Oh and better still, I got to take snapshots of a flashback! And that's just the first level!!! Suicidal glee!

Seriously though, if you watch the show there's interesting stuff to see and fresh eyes to observe the series' opening story arc through. The episodic way the game is portrayed is cool, to say nothing of the almost dead-on style of the cinemas, but the visuals are pretty weak and given all the hype around this game I was expecting something more visually ensnaring.
