GameCube News | The Da Vinci Code Game

By James Temperton 29.03.2006 6

For those of you who haven't read the 'book' (well done), this is the basic 'plot' of it. While attempting to solve a murder, Harvard professor Robert Langdon and brilliant French cryptographer Sophie Neveu uncover a 2000-year-old conspiracy through clues encoded in paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci. Gripping...

Basically, the game will feature the same 'edge of seat' suspense that the book is famous for. You guide Rob and Sophie on a quest to solve a stupid murder-mystery (complete with accurate contrived and totally unbelievable dialogue) and uncover one of the greatest secrets in human history, blah.

The game will feature the following exciting features:

  • More Da Vinci! The game goes beyond both book and film to deliver you 'amazing' new locations.
  • The press release is telling us you will "Elude danger and stay one step ahead of an enemy that will stop at nothing to protect their secret." AND do it in situations not in the book or film!
  • Predictable standard action/adventure/puzzle-bits fun into a "adrenaline-pumping stealth, frantic chases and combat, diversely cryptic puzzles, and exciting exploration"
  • Walk around Paris lots, and some churches too!
  • Work out simple puzzles to inevitably lead you to the resting ground of the Holy Grail. Wowza!
  • A bit like the Indiana Jones videogames, but rubbish and without whips.
  • The game will appeal to the 'hard core fans' (idiots) of the book and movie by offering an experience faithful to the movie (unlike Dan Brown's book is to the truth). In addition, it will also appeal to gamers who have enjoyed the movie but want new challenges (or torture).

    • Expect The Da Vinci code to be violating millions of consoles worldwide when it hits PS2, XBOX and GameCube in May 2006.

    Nothing wrong with humour. I could just loyally copy out the press release, but it made me cry. Sorry if I did spoil the news for you though James Smilie
