User Rating: 8.4 | The Da Vinci Code PC
When Dan Brown's controversial novel The Da Vinci Code first hit, it quickly landed on the New York Times bestseller list... a place it's found pretty comfortable for more than three years. The book then made its way to the big screen, where it opened at number one with the highest box office receipts for the year to date. So it should come as no surprise that the franchise has now made its way to game consoles as well. For fans though, the real mystery to solve is whether or not this game can live up to the material from which it's based.

In case you're one of the three people on the planet who hasn't been exposed to the Da Vinci Code phenomenon yet, here's a quick spoiler-free rundown of the plot. When the curator of the Louvre in France is found murdered, with strange symbols covering his body, the French police call in Robert Langdon for assistance. Langdon, a specialist in the field of religious symbology, immediately gets pulled into an intricate conspiracy involving the Catholic Church, the Holy Grail, and a secret that could shake the foundation of the religious faithful around the world.



In The Da Vinci Code game, players take on the role of Langdon as they are drawn deeper and deeper into the grand cover up. Along the way, they will have to use their sharp wit and keen eye to evade agents from both the police and the church, while surviving long enough to gain clues leading to the discovery of the conspiracy's final truth.

The first thing most people will notice about the game is its presentation. It seems that the developers couldn't get the cast from the movie together for the game, so none of the characters look or sound at all like their big-screen counterparts. Making matters worse, the only thing stiffer than the acting is the character animations. The characters move with all the grace of a three-toed sloth. Adding to the problems, there are a number of glitches in the game's collision detection. More than once, the characters walked through or reached into solid objects in the environment.
