When all is lost, survival instincts must be found in this mysterious castaway adventure. After a disaster at sea, our hero washes up on an island that seems to be deserted. He soon stumbles upon another survivor, a 17-year-old girl. The two begin to work together as they learn how to stay alive. Play as either main character for two completely different game experiences, each with multiple endings depending on the paths you take. Create survival tools, make fire, build, hunt, explore, and, oh yeah, figure out how to escape! Who knows how many secrets you'll uncover along the way?

Starving in the Blue

Lost in the blue invites it's players to enter a world where people starve to death in less than 2 days(about 15 mins real time). While all around a very creative idea, I spent the first hour or so trying to eat raw seaweed and dieing on the shores of said unnamed island. The opening movie is inescapable (That = AWESOME!) That being said "instant gratification" and "Lost in the Blue" don't exist in the same universe. However "eating every coconut you can find" and "hiding in a cave" seem the true foundation of which Lost in the Blue is built. Most of the fun of this game is found in discovering new ways to extend the time it takes to starve. This includes building shelves, collecting vines/logs, making ropes, waiting for re spawns to happen, recollecting the vines/logs, making more ropes, and building a more comfortable bed. Trapping animals in a noose and shooting them repeatedly with a bow and arrow is very amusing, climaxing with 2 hours of actual time I spent trapping and domesticating a goat, just to return to my cave after two game days (another 30 mins or so, 1/4 the time it me to ensnare and persuade a goat to stand outside my cave) to find the goat had died. Picking the "It was just his time to go, you didn't do anything wrong." dialog response will trigger a super fun chime noise and make the girl stop crying and smile. She soon forgets about the 85 pounds of rotting goat flesh laying feet from the cave's entrance. No one likes goat milk anyway. She also makes several "maybe you can find something good?" comments. I get all the food we eat to say alive, IS THAT NOT GOOD!! Her skill set includes bad cooking, messing up the fire, and making worthless seashell necklaces (taking up precious inventory slots!!!) This doesn't feel like we're sharing the "staying alive" responsibility. I also found no difference in spears made with bamboo as opposed to spears made with "stick" wood. Torches are useless, you can see perfectly fine at night. -Lou Beatini

Something different

Any game that uses the touch screen on the D.S. well is worth playing. This game exceeds that by far. You hunt, fish and build things. Things can bog down with Skye (female character) she is a high school student that can't take care of her self! But this is only a small distraction. If you play Trauma Center then this one is worth looking at

Great Concept...Poor Execution

Let me first preface this by saying I love games like Monster Rancher, Dark Cloud, Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. I want to make this clear because much of Lost in Blue involves repetitive, even tedious tasks. The concept of the game is great. You play Kyle, a young man washed ashore after a shipwreck. Your first job, and the primary point of the game, is to survive. You have four separate status areas to keep up: Food, Water, Strength, and mental stamina. You have to collect food, find a place to stay, and figure out how to make tools to help keep you alive. Here's the problem: It is frustratingly hard to go slow enough to survive, when you know what you need to do next. Exploration of the island is excruciating, since you cannot stray far from your base until you are sufficiently adept at keeping yourself alive. There are a lot of cool concepts in this game: You have to alternate on the shoulder buttons to get an ember started, then blow on the mike to make it grow into a flame; there are also some interesting touch screen uses. In the end, the tedium did me in. I died 3 times within the first 45 minutes of playing, because I wanted to go faster than the game would allow. In the end, this game is worth a try just because of the innovation it offers, and if you are a very patient gamer that likes the above mentioned RPGs, then this game might be right up your alley. Happy Gaming, Tallfort

Lost in Blue review by Kelly

This game is very addictive. The only annoying thing about the game is the girl. She's helpless! You actually have to lead her to the water or she will die of dehydration! lol, fun game though. :)

A Great Thinking Game!!

I love this game. You have to think all the way through it. I think that's why a lot of gamers can't be bothered with it. You have to keep your character and the female character alive at THE SAME TIME as exploring the island you've washed up on & making progress. Hint....the sooner you figure out how to drink and catch MEAT, the better you will feel about this game. THINK about what you would need, and it is very intuitive. I am having trouble figuring out how to build things, but I anticipate I will keep this and play with it for awhile. Wish it were for sale...

Hopelessly lost in the blue!

Well....second worst game on the DS ever!!! Ok. I washed up on the island met the girl bla bla....and what now? I was just as lost as the characters on the game! I didn't know what to do I mostly spent FOREVER finding the cave. When I did find it the girl was complaining the ENTIRE time! She was like "I am starving!" well why couldn't she find it herself!???!?! Then she tried to cook it. WORST COOK EVER! Then we couldn't eat the food! That girl really irrated me to death! THEN she was tired she said "Get me a sleeping bag!" I did not want to go into nightmare dark darkness! So I let her sleep on rocks HA! Throughout the game I was sick of her complaining! So I let her DIE YAAAAAY! She was the BIGGEST COMPLAINER IN THE UNIVERSE!

Like an uncool episode of lost

I really have nothing good to say about this game. Its very hard and the story just isn't worth the struggle. There are more ways to get to the game over screen than i can count for example walk away from your cave for twenty minutes to explore another location on the island uh oh your girlfriend just starved to death because she can't do anything herself. play it if you want but trust me you will probably not enjoy yourself AE sighing out

I'd want this if I were stuck on an island.

This is the best game for DS, play it it's the best game ever!See, your name is Keith and you wash up on an island and you meet skye, she washed up too. There is a great story and cool music when building and cooking. you must gather food, hunt, build furniture, and survive. With 3 game modes you'll be playing forever every. Also, 5 seconds, 5 minutes go by. You won't believe what happens...... but I won't spoil it for you.

snakebag

First off, this game is really hard. You may die within 20 minute of playing. This game makes Devil May Cry 3 look easy. So it gets a 3 out of 10.

Good graphics, slow start

this is a very good game. my only critisism is that it's hard to reach the point you aren't starving. other than that, graphics are great and this is my favorite ds game. i highly recommend it!!
