  1. It could have been a bit longer, maybe lasting more than fourteen days to represent The Fourteen Stations of the Cross, and the combat system could have been better, like the outstanding fight between Jesus and temptation for forty days and forty nights in the desert - but this game could be the closest thing to witnessing the turning a good film into a good game miracle, much like Jesus turned water into wine.
  2. Because I like puzzles, I enjoyed much of Da Vinci despite its flaws. But there are many of them, and the game's sloppy implementation can be seen in a number of questionable design decisions.
  3. Offers a challenging and varied gameplay experience that will satisfy the amateur cryptographer in everyone. However, the game is brought down by supbar production values and a dialogue-heavy story that has a tendency to drag at times.
  4. 45
    It doesn't offer enough puzzle variety for serious adventure fans, and the combat will irritate or bore most action aficionados.

  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. Collapse

    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. Expand

    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. Expand
