The game is just plain too short, too linear and too simplistic. There were so many ways they could've expanded the gameplay and made this a much better (or at least more involving) game. Something like a reputation system where you could go 'good or evil' or 'man of faith or man of science' at least, would've been fun. Maybe a few side-quests. More items to collect. More puzzle types. Some story branches. Etc, etc..
Anyway, while the story was linear, it was fairly interesting and definitely had that Lost feel. Graphics/music were decent. People here have already talked about the voice acting.
Basically, I came into this not expecting much and got even less than that. It had a few nice moments for fans, but as for the gameplay overall, I was pretty disappointed.

Personally, I think the best LOST game would be made after the series is done. Once all the mythology is laid on the table, they can make a much more open game. Especially if they allowed the player to influence the story in directions not taken in the show (ie saving or killing a character, finding the hatch early, and so on).
I beat this today and...meh. The ending was pretty cool and it had a few standout moments, but on the whole the gameplay was silly and it needed more clever puzzles. I didn't like being lead around to my objectives all the time, and the "navigate the jungle" bits were ridiculous. I liked the platforming sections though. The fuze puzzles drove me mad, but the logic puzzles were kind of a cool idea even though they were a little too easy.
The graphics are absolutely stunning, and the ending raises some intriguing questions, but I don't know if that's enough for me to hold on to the game...

I can't remember the last time a TV show license turned into a really good game anyway.
Buffy for the Xbox and its sequel Chaos Bleeds.
So, awhile ago then.
I actually have Chaos Bleeds, haven't played it yet though. I'll probably give it a try soon, since the wife and I are getting close to being at that part of the series.

My zombie survival life simulator They Don't Sleep is out now on Steam if you want to check it out.
The worst indictment for this game, imo, is that they couldn't even get permission to use the "Lost intro" music/ambient sound that plays when the "Lost" is flying at you towards the screen. That tells me a lot right there. I know this game is supposed to be poor, but as a Lost fan I was hoping I could at least stomach this stuff. We'll see.

The xfiles adventure game was pretty reasonable too.
And the hitchhiker's Guide text adventure is superb (technically based on a book/tv series/radio series).
Transformers was also awesome (on PS2) and a number of anime shows have made decent-ish games (The DBZ games on the Wii are pretty cool)
I can think of few other examples!

Yeah, the DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi games are good.
So, I beat this in one day on a rental last week and iunno, it's okay. Easy 1K points though. I dug that you see the stations and stuff.
