    It doesn't offer enough puzzle variety for serious adventure fans, and the combat will irritate or bore most action aficionados.
  2. You know you've got problems when the feature meant to enlighten a game makes it more tedious. [Sep 2006, p.94]

  4. The combat mechanism is an abomination. Every time you get in a fight, you have to match a pattern of buttons to throw a good punch or block an attack. Presumably, this was meant to help non-action-gamers get through combat, but even your grandmother would rather mash buttons than deal with this painful interface.
  5. But the other aspects – animation, dialogue, acting, environments, and fighting – are too poorly produced and out of place to ignore.
  6. The overall impression is of a game that’s both bravely and badly designed, and weighted towards the latter. [July 2006, p.84]
  7. The actors (not from the film cast) sound utterly bored throughout their lengthy speeches; the only thing that trumps the highly questionable French accents is a guy who actually says "woof woof" on behalf of a virtual dog.
  8. But in the end, it doesn't serve gamers, not even the extremely forgiving cadre of adventure game fans. [Sept. 2006, p.63]
  9. The worst way to experience this story. [July 2006, p.86]

  1. El juego comienza como el libro. Después, se va separando poco a poco al punto en que termina siendo otra historia diferente antes de que puedas darte cuenta. La construcción de la mayoría de los puzzles es interesante, pese a que todos son bastante fáciles, y el sistema de combate es bastante lento y monótono. Full Review »

    The puzzles are chalinging, the story average, the combat element is awfull and allmost impossibel to manage and do not suit this kind af game anaway. The lack of an in game map force you to a lot of running up and down. Grafic and animations is not impressing and the AI af the police og Opus Dei foes is nearly absent. A pitifull and quickly forgotte piece af merchandising. Full Review »

    The puzzles (crytograms and inventory) are good, but the combat is truly terrible. The aim is to click the mouse buttons in the same order that they are 'flashed' on the bottom of the screen. This means you can't actually watch the action! Stoopid. What is it with film tie-ins? They never work out. Full Review »
