(EXCELLENT JOB PUBLISHER 2K GAMES!!!)

I just LOVE this game and can play it over and over. It has everything. Great graphics and sound affects, mystery, puzzels, action...
I don't understand how anybody can give this game a 1 star review, honestly. In this game you really have to use your head.

It's not the storyline or the puzzles that I hated (those were actually interesting and fun), it was the overall gameplay. I love adventure games because I can sit back, relax and solve puzzles, find clues, etc. But, instead it was a frustrating experience. First, who puts combat in an adventure game? That's just ridiculous.

Speaking of combat, in the middle of fights with security guards at the Louvre, I would continuously get pop-ups telling me which buttons to use. This was okay the first time, but come on, during EVERY fight? There were other annoyances like I couldn't open a door while holding a gun, but I couldn't drop it either. I had to restart my game to go through the door. Also, while walking the other person follows so close that you have to constantly keep trying to get out of the way.

Conclusion: I broke the DVD, stuck it in the box, and threw it away. I was going to resell it, but I wouldn't be that mean to someone. This is literally the worst game I have ever played. I would give it -5 stars. Yep, I hated it that much.

I am pleased as punch to have been able to acquire this game!!! Maybe I am old-fashioned, but it is refreshing to find a modern game that does not rely on blood and gore, foul language and adult situations to be entertaining. The puzzles are challenging without being frustrating, the graphics are realistic and barely patchy, although, you can definitely find the "glitches" when trying really hard. I absolutely love finding the secrets with exploring!!! The combat scenes, personally I can do without, but at least they have a purpose, not just because the programmers needed more shoot-em up action. I would highly recommend this to young adults to challenge their brains and cannot wait for my daughters to be old enough to play this, the rating system is dead right for this game, it is teen and up. Highly, highly recommend and REALLY WANT MORE!!!!! Maybe they could make up a "sequel"?

The adventure game is a genre that has died out in the US in the past few years, much to the chagrin of many fans who enjoyed games like King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Gabriel Knight, and Grim Fandango. Companies were going after the action game in a big way and there seemed no place for games that required creative thinking instead of quick reflexes.

Now, it appears that these types of games may be coming back in the form of such titles as the Da Vinci Code. While not strictly an adventure game, it does bring back puzzle-solving, creative thinking, and a strong game-driven storyline to the mix.

The puzzles are good (though not too hard) and add to the plot instead of just being tossed in to give players something to do. The environment is wonderful for exploring and players should make notes of what they've done to help get through some of the harder puzzles and challenges.

The one down-side of the game is the rather cumbersome (and, for a game featuring a college professor and a cryptologist as the main characters, unrealistic) combat system.

All in all, if you are a fan of the old Sierra and LucasArts type adventure games, I think you will enjoy this one.
