Ubisoft Debuts 'LOST' Trailer


Like in the TV show of the same name, viewers are kept on the edge-of-their-seats, waiting -- only to be thrown the next scrap of information, Ubisoft has finally released the trailer of it's LOST game (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) -- to actually reveal very little of it...

While not confirmed, the trailer does hint at the identity of the hero -- a passenger who was on board the doomed Oceanic Flight 815 -- but who is in all probability a new character who hasn't appeared on the TV show yet.

Whereas the storyline of the game is much like that of the TV show with action on the island interspersed with flashbacks revealing the murky past of the many characters.

Interestingly, the elusive, sinewy stream of black smoke that appears mostly without warning on the show is something that gamers would get to cross swords/wits with in the game.

Apparently, executive producers of the TV show, LOST, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who've obviously seen much more of the game, said that the game captures the sense of adventure and suspense they've strived to achieve in the show.

The producers have commended Ubisoft for a visually amazing game that is imaginative in its own right, as well as seen as an extension of the world of the show.
