Something like
> Find us
> and we will show you the way
Presumably from the terminal in the hatch.
It COULD be a really good game, were it not for the fact that there's unlikely to be any startling Lost plot revelations - they wouldn't give away something important in the game which isn't told to the TV viewers.
Graphics look mega-sketchy though; those facemaps look like something straight out of GoldenEye 64.

I know many of them are the real actors, but is it just me or does the voice-acting sound cold and robotic? This trailer has actually forced me to lower my expectations of the game.

I've never played a video game where the voice overs were convincing. I mean, Gears of War voice overs were so bad it was annoying. But that didn't detract from the game play.
Revolutionary will be the company that puts out a video game with voice overs half as good as animated masters like Pixar.

I love this show, but I honestly can't see myself playing this game. Maybe if the graphics were better - wait nope, still can't see it.

I think the graphics are pretty good, the character models are good and the enviroments look amazing (surprising because this is a tv show made into a game and well...look at CSI), if it's free roaming and has a good plot then I'll probably pick this up. Although I can tell Locke and Jack didn't aren't voicing for themselves.

Sounds to me like some of the actual actors are being used to voice their parts - Jack sounds like Jack. Charlie, not so much.
Doing voice over in a sound booth is a much different skill than acting on camera, so it's not unusual that Jack sounds as robotic as he does; he's probably not comfortable in the sound booth. It really is an acquired skill to read your lines "wild" - that is, with no other actors present.
Graphics are sketchy ... but I still fire up my original Playstation, so it really comes down to gameplay and story. Though for a 360 game, the graphics definitely suck. Fine for a PS2, but not on next-gen.

So for $60 you can be presented with more Lost questions and no answers to the plot lines. Sounds like a win! lol
