Simply put, the game amounted to little more than Pac-Man with E.T.
The game may have been based on Spielberg’s masterpiece, but in truth the only things barely relevant to the movie were some sprites that consisted of but a few pixels. In short, they should have been released as downloadable content. They were just clones of the main versions of the game sprinkled with new character models, some songs by the eponymous bands and a handful of others from other bands apparently related to them (bit embarrassing when placed next to the love and care put into The Beatles: Rock Band – Ed). Whether you sit on the Guitar Hero or Rock Band side of the fence, there’s no debate about how ridiculous the Guitar Hero spin-offs are. The game’s AI offered the funniest flaw, with enemies tending to walk off cliffs like lemmings. The multiplayer, the core of a Battlefront-esque game, was laughable, not forgetting deserted just a month after release. Its campaign came in at just under five hours, and was so repetitive that it offered minimal replay value.
Then there was the terrible voice acting, featuring stand-ins to cover for members of the cast that knew better than to participate in this mess.ĭeveloper Pandemic knew better than anyone the potential of a game advertised as “ Star Wars: Battlefront meets Lord of the Rings”, but this action game turned out to be nothing more than a letdown to fans worldwide. A terrible plot accompanied this action advenutre’s awful visuals if the camera angles didn’t stop you from seeing where you going, chances were that you were stuck in a rock or to a tree like a limpet. But, fans or otherwise, we can all agree that Lost: Via Domus was a near unplayable abomination.
Lost, the massive TV hit starring Matthew Fox and company stranded on a mysterious desert island, was inevitably going to get developers interested in milking a video game out of it. Mike Bell takes us through his selection of the ten worst licensed games, from basketball stars fighting against mummies to stand-ins stranded on a desert island.
