THE DA VINCI CODETaken as pure entertainment, The Da Vinci Code game is a darn good adventure game. Like the book it's a murder mystery, and the various clues, puzzles and conspiracies lend themselves perfectly to such an adventure game. Too perfectly, in fact, that the game just doesn't live up to expectations. At least it's not a scene-by-scene re-creation of the movie. You won't see Tom Hank's likeness or hear his voice but the character of Robert Langdon is still the main protagonist. The clues and puzzles utilize many of the same techniques for uncovering, investigating and solving them but they all feature new elements so that you won't have any advantage if you've seen the movie or read the book. You will ultimately know in which direction the clues are heading, but you won't necessarily know how they will lead you there.
If this is your first experience with The Da Vinci Code, then by all means get your hands on this game just to enjoy the ride. The less you know about it the better. I would have enjoyed this game tremendously had I no prior knowledge of the information in the book. However, the mechanics of the game in terms of presentation and production values would still cast a shadow over the entire experience. The graphics are dated, the animation is clunky, there is clipping and the voiceovers are dull and lack expression. The other playable character, Sophie Neveu has an annoying fake accent that makes it difficult to listen to her. Considering that there is an awful lot of dialog, this can make one rather wearisome. There is a lot of detail to pay attention to and the chemistry between Robert and Sophie could be likened to that of a dictionary and an encyclopedia brought to life.
THE DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
