Dec 9, 201165Tintin only has itself to blame for its shortcomings: for every exciting moment there's a turgid interlude which drags the overall experience down.
-
Oct 28, 201150The Adventures of Tintin is a dull and repetitive platformer that does no justice to the exciting exploits of its titular character.
-
Jan 3, 201270Its Beyond Good & Evil pedigree elevates it above the standard movie tie-in, but Tintin's still a bit too simplistic for hardcore adventurers.
-
Dec 28, 201168Spielberg and Jackson aren't wrong, Tintin is a great story that is a blast to play, especially as a 2D platformer.
-
Dec 27, 201150This blend of charm and frustration is the central ingredient in Tintin, obscuring what could have been a great game.
-
Dec 22, 201169We can safely say that this video game adaptation of the popular blockbuster is better than some might expect, but it still has some rough edges to smooth out before we can truly call it a great game.
-
Dec 13, 201174Far from perfect, and its simple gameplay and (mostly) shallow puzzles aren't going to entertain one for long. Still, it's an extremely solid movie tie-in and a mostly seamless platforming experience, with polish where it counts.
-
Dec 13, 201170The overall experience is reminiscent of something you may have loved on the Super NES or Sega Genesis. Young gamers should find it appealing especially if they liked the movie, but even the low price tag can't quite muster a bang for your buck.
-
Dec 12, 201165There's no denying Tintin's engaging personality. From slick effects and slapstick animations (you can actually trip enemies with banana peels) to solid voice-acting, it immerses you in its world, even with the lackluster gameplay.
-
Dec 12, 201160Even though it has its flaws, The Adventures of Tintin never veers from decent to awful, and Ubisoft Montpelier deserves credit for creating a rare wonder - a movie-spinoff that doesn't completely suck.
-
Dec 11, 201160A game for children in every sense. It's too easy for experienced gamers, and suffers from imprecise camera and controls. Younger Tintin fans might enjoy it though.
-
Dec 9, 201125I understand that the game is meant for a younger audience, but there are quite literally hundreds of other titles out there that provide a far more enjoyable experience.
-
Dec 8, 201156Despite decent production values and three distinct play modes, The Adventures of Tintin is a disappointment for those expecting a grand, absorbing adventure in the spirit of Indiana Jones. The final product feels rushed.
-
Dec 6, 201178The 2D platforming is clever, the co-op game separates itself from the main game in an interesting way, and the Kinect implementation works well, even if it is just the typical minigame addition. Ubisoft has succeeded in making a fun complement to the upcoming Spielberg film that young fans should appreciate.
-
Nov 15, 201156Hardcore fans may enjoy The Adventures of Tintin while it lasts but unfortunately that will not be very long, and the time never feels overly well spent either. The main game is shockingly short but at least that will free you up to go and play something with a little more depth and entertainment.
-
Nov 11, 201150The film managed to capture the spirit of the beloved comics and this game tries to do the same with some decent results. The problem here is the constant repetition, the lack of content and the fact that the main campaign lasts for -roughly- 4 hours.
-
Nov 10, 201174Ubisoft Montpellier did an excellent job with The Adventures of Tintin. The game is simple but very fun to play, and delivers some very nice moments. What a pity it's so easy to beat.
-
Nov 9, 201172Tintin is a good game, although in a very complicated time of the year. With dozens of other titles in the shelves, a movie-based game may be secondary for most gamers, and that is a shame, because this is a very interesting game, although far from perfect.
-
Nov 7, 201160For the majority of Tintin's adventure you'll be happy to kill time hopping and skipping across its gorgeous stages, but unlike the contours of Hergé's timeless stories, there's no hidden treasure to be found beneath its dazzling veneer.
-
Nov 7, 201171The Adventures of Tintin is very much a product created to sell more units and promote the film but its co-op side manages to shine. If you can forget about the poor vehicle sections or you just want a fun co-op experience with your kid, you could fare a lot worse than Tintin.
-
Nov 2, 201170The Adventures of Tintin is an excellent game for the casual gamers out there. The graphics don't look amazing and the gameplay could have been a bit more difficult, but the varied missions and good comedic timing make up for that.
-
Nov 1, 201150One of the easiest game you'll ever play this year, The Adventures of TinTin is certainly tailored for young children, but on the market there are far better games, like Toy Story 3 or Cars 2.
-
Oct 31, 201170Experienced gamers will find little challenge from the game, but it is a game to be experienced with the family and seeing a child's astonishment at what is happening on screen will make a purchase very worthwhile and in all honesty should be a great way to introduce young children to the world of Tintin.
-
Oct 30, 201180The Secret Of The Unicorn is an extremely successful tie-in to what is a controversial film.
-
Oct 28, 201175It lacks on the visuals side, especially after the other movie tie-ins Ubisoft got us to, but it sports a charismatic cast and solid gameplay. An enjoyable game, recommended to newcomers and fans of the belgian character, children and grown-ups.
-
Oct 27, 201170The Adventures of Tintin may not be a fantastic game, but as licensed games go it's far more than decent. The different modes and variety in gameplay do not always reach the same level of quality, but the majority of it is a lot of fun to play for kids and adults alike.
-
Oct 27, 201160Ubisoft Montreal has paid close attention to both the Tintin licence and its target market, meaning the game actually just about works. The action is hugely linear and the level design basic, yet the campaign is also engaging to play through, mixing platforming, combat and vehicle sections in a reasonably decent narrative.
-
Oct 25, 201165TinTin may be basic and one of the easiest games I've played in some years, but it's certainly a cracker of a game for children and gives them something to get their teeth into with its cute visuals.
-
Oct 25, 201170The story mode is rather short, and can comfortably be beaten within 5 hours, but the coop mode adds a considerable amount of length to the game.
-
Oct 24, 201170A surprisingly clever use of the licence, that maintains the charming whimsy of the books and marries it to one of the best 2D platformers of the year.
-
Oct 20, 201150A disappointment but perhaps my expectations should have been lower in the first place. It's short and lacking in gameplay depth, but has moments where you'll be fooled into thinking it's all right. Visually it at least has style if not technical excellence, but underneath is a fairly typical licensed title.
-
Oct 20, 201170It's not perfect, perhaps, and the whole thing feels pretty slight, but The Secret of the Unicorn's clever and deeply charming - a Tintin game for everybody, and not just the super-fans.
-
Dec 8, 201170Despite its simplicity, Tintin feels like it's telling you an engaging story. [Issue#79, p.87]
-
Dec 6, 201140Functional, uninspiring tie-in. [Christmas 2011, p.109]
-
Dec 1, 201160While it might be bought for the kids, it'll be enjoyed by everyone. [Christmas 2011, p.122]
