Thanks, MaG I was wondering about the gameplay also. Before I buy it...I would like to know if there is panning? Is it a first or third person? Is it inventory based? What kind of puzzles? Hope I am not asking too much

I am just starting to play this game, however it is the XBox version as my son and I are serious Losties.
I can tell you that it is 3rd person, and so far through 3 chapters there are very few adventure-like puzzles. You can die in this game, and although the action elements are rather easy (especially for my 14 y/o), the real attraction to this game lies in being a Lost fan who know the characters and the island mysteries.
There are great flashback scenes which advance the story of the feature character (not a real Lost character), and pictures need to be taken to complete these scenes.
I am really enjoying the game but I doubt many adventure gamers would like it as it does have a significant amount of stealth, there is a trading component (to get useful items), and there are fixed save points (rather frequent) in the game.
However, if you do like Lost, its alot of fun to interact with the characters and visit areas previously encountered in Lost.
BTW, if you like Lost, last night's episode rocked!

Hi Dyl'smom -- thanks for the info! I'd also be very curious to hear from anyone playing the PC version -- sometimes the PC version is an entirely different game from the console versions. EDIT: Hmmm. I just read the Wikipedia article that Ana linked to, and it would seem that the PC version and the XBox version are, in fact, the same.

Thanks, Ana Thank You so much, Dyl'smom...I was reading one review about a stealth part where You are running from a black smoke This part was in the PC version.

And Darleen, you could also have a look at the Trailers found at the Latest and Upcoming Adventure Games section for this game that you can link to from the top of this page.

Thanks for the info, Belgar! Those of you who are playing it -- how would you estimate the balance of the gameplay -- what percentage is made up of puzzles, exploration, stealth, action. Is it a game that those of us with slower relexes could play and enjoy? Dyl'smom -- it sounds as though there aren't many puzzles, but there is a lot of stealth. How difficult is the stealth?

French jeuvideo.com http://www.jeuxvideopc.com/test/test-10769-2-lost-le-jeu.php has posted a review online, gave it a 9/20. The minus were a game time under 5 hours that if the long load times and cinematics were removed would be of less than 4 hours, they say it was unexcusable. Also metion that the game was badly optimized for the PC and a lifeless gameplay. They end by saying we were lucky that is was only 30 euros. The plus sides, were same as my review; nice atmosphere, graphics, good control, good portayal of the serie. I bought it because my gf and I are good fans of the serie. It's a fun game, nothing special, but for $29.99 it might keep you busy for the wknd.
