The anagrams aren't the only things that feel scrambled

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. Once it gets going, the puzzles make it palatable, but the undercooked Da Vinci Code certainly had more potential than it actually delivers. Only the most desperate adventure gamers will even want to bother.

You'll love
  • Solid, solvable puzzles
  • Atmospheric music doesn't annoy
  • Well-intentioned and not unplayable
You'll hate
  • Lousy mouse/keyboard interface
  • Passionless performances
  • Whole thing feels rushed
