4.0 out of 5 stars Mmmmm.....FOOD FOR BRAIN!!, May 26, 2006

This review is from: Da Vinci Code (Video Game)

Wow....I just finished beating the game and it was quite a thrill ride!! It's got drama, suspense, fighting and PUZZLES!! Oh, the puzzles!! Makes me feel like a kid on an easter egg hunt! My particular faves were the cryptography puzzles...Brings back memories of when I was a child...Where I lived in a place where the invasion of my diary (or anything private) was never a question of 'if' but 'WHEN', so I came to learn cryptography all TOO quickly (before I even learned there was a name for it, matter of fact).

These puzzles aren't brainbusters mind you, but it gives your mind a brisk little workout. Be advised: keep a notepad beside you as you'd most likely need it (to store clues as you play). And for those whose brainpower's a little on the flabby side: keep ASPIRIN handy.

In case you might wonder why I don't give this game a perfect 5:
The movements on this game can be a bit of a problem...For instance, if you may walk up to a door (which requires a key) and attempt to unlock it with your key, it MAY NOT work, which sends you on an exasperating search of the area for what to do next since that "apparently" isn't it...Out of desperation/curiosity/frustration you happen to try the door w/ key again and IT WORKS?? Why didn't it the 1st time?? Not a worry if it happened once, but it to me happened several times throughout the game. The other thing is, how you can pore over vast expanses of houses,buildings etc. with many rooms going, inch by inch only to realize there was 1 item to find?? And having your partner walk so close to you can really aggravate you sometimes (like if you're trying to make a sneak attack on an enemy or even WALKING OUT THE DOOR!!) Or walking for (seemingly) miles to your next objective only to have go way out of your way (again) just to fetch ONE item that you need to proceed (like at Westminster Abbey)...That can be a bit tedious....But then again, if the dots were close enough together, there'd be no mystery to solve, right?

So, for a stimulating change from the mindless, all-too-common BUTTON-MASHER games out there, The Da Vinci code is the one you may have been waiting for...

...It may even interest people who are not normally interested in playing video games, it's just that appealing and engaging.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm done w/ Xbox!, December 11, 2006

This review is from: Da Vinci Code (Video Game)

I'm a huge fan of the book. I enjoyed the film. But man this game sucks. It had so much potential to be great. I played it and got through maybe 4 or 5 levels and then got stuck on some stupid f-ing bridge, the DaVinci Bridge to be exact. I was there for hours and hours trying to make the dam thing connect with the other side. I exhausted all possibilities over and over again until finally giving up. I hate this! And this isn't the first Xbox game to screw up like this. I'm not asking for much here its just if you spend 40 or 50 bucks on a game you should get a playable game at least. I'm not even saying it has to be a great game or anything just f-ing work! I'm pissed and frustrated. I think I'm done with Xbox.

This review is from: Da Vinci Code (Video Game)

I havent gotten very far into the game, and i have to admit i did have to cheat and go online for some help in some of the puzzles. Other than that, its what i expected, only thing i can say is that, the puzzles are..... be ready for the puzzles- or should i say, have a cheatsite ready for the puzzles.
