Adventures of TinTin: The Game
© 2011 UbiSoft, Inc.
You can jump inside the TinTin movie-- complete with orchestrated score -- in this rich, 20 level game. Your job is to investigate a mystery that may lead you to a sunken treasure. You work with Snowy the dog and Captain Haddock to beat the crooks to reveal the secret of the Unicorn Ship. You can play either as a dog or as a human, in the form of TinTin, Snowy, Captain Haddock or three unlockable characters. Each has a different set of skills. The game has a lot of diversity -- you can pilot a plane, drive a side-car, sword-fight and solve puzzles and there are both one and two player co-op modes. All in all, this is a fun adventure title with enough content to last the weekend, and then some. The Kinect and Playstation Move versions, which we did not test, let youplay using your whole body. The Wii version does better with the Wii Motion Plus. Note the PC version is $30.
