Lost – new iPod game
If you have logged in to the iTunes Store today you might have seen the little new icon next to the iPod games section. The new game is ‘Lost‘ based on ABC’s No1 TV show. If you have tried it, please drop a comment and give us your mini review. I’m quite sceptical that this game is going to work (wasn’t some crappy Lost game released through Verizon?), mostly due to the fact that the clickwheel is quite a bad game control – at least for action oriented games. I’d rather watch another episode. Anyway, inside you can find the official game notes and some more screenshots.

New iPod game Lost
2 out of 10
It’s a real shame this, could have been great.
Initially I thought it was, until it ended all too soon.
You control one character from the show, Jack, and must navigate him through scrolling locations completing various tasks.
I actually bought this game for my girlfriend because she is a fan of the t.v. show. I have never watched a whole episode myself but that didn’t stop me from finishing the game incredibly quickly.
It has nice graphics and adequate sound, which help create a suspenseful atmosphere . The controls are simple and the click wheel works as a direction control. It can be fiddly to press the middle (action) button without unintentionally moving the character(because of the wheels sensitivity).
There is no option to have more than one saved game on the go(so for my girlfriend to play from the start I had to wipe my own saved game).
The main problems are it’s way too short and way too easy.
There is usually a direction arrow telling you exactly where to go.
If the tasks had been more difficult then the short length of the game wouldn’t have mattered as much, but as it is, it is more akin to less than a quarter of what a full game should really be.
I don’t understand this. The file size is less than 33 megs. Its available only for iPod fifth generation videos, which have 30 gig or 80 gig hard drives, so why not make the game bigger.
I was just getting into the game when I reached a point and it just says “to be continued…”.
Obviously just a cash in on the shows popularity and a lure to get Lost fans hooked up with an iPod video.
It is a first of it’s kind for the iPod and it could have been great. I am surprised this has been released in such a partially finished state.
