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.

Hey Lance Christian, the movie is rated pg-13, not R, so the game does deserve to be rated teen, not M.

Fundamental Christians Should Get A Grip!!!!!

This game is awesome!!! It helps people keep an open mind to the possibilities, just like the DVC movie. Many people call themselves Cristians but they are the first to judge. It's ok to believe what you want to believe if it feels right to you. There are many paths to God, not just one. Why attack this harmless game, and not comment on very violent games like Grand Theft Auto? There is nothing wrong with Jesus getting down with Mary Magdelene. He is a great teacher, but a man indeed. What fundamental christians fail to point out are the very numerous contradictions that are in the bible and that is FACT!

Rated T for teen?????

I'm not going to go into the "plot" of this game/movie only to say that it is little more than a pile of [...].However the only people who are going to buy into this junk in the first place are people who already have a hate bias,or the purely ignorant.

With that said,my main problem with this game is the irresponsible rating given to it.The movie is rated R,so why is the game given a T for teen rating?It easily earns a M for mature 17+ for story content alone.

On the back of the game,there is a screen shoot of a half naked dead man nailed to the floor with a satan star carved into his chest.THIS IS SUITABLE FOR 13/14 YEAR OLDS??The game description doesn't even have the guts to admit what "the mystery" it is your trying to solve.If it blatantly said that it was an all out attck on the fundementals of Christianity in general and Catholicisim specifically,no parent would even THINK about getting this garbage for their kids.

It just goes to show how low people will go to push hate propoganda and aim it at the youth,all for the sake of the almighty dollar.This joke will blow over like "the last temptation of Christ" did.But after this poor fad passes and dies,the people's faith will still remain strong.

God have mercy on Hollywood's arrogance.

The Book Is SOOOOO Much Better

First off, I loved Dan Brown's book. It was a really well written piece of work. But this game.........OH MY GOD!!! Okay, so I don't completely lose my control, I'll list my opinions in a good and bad list.

THE GOOD
- GOOD IDEA
- PUZZLES ALSO A GOOD IDEA
- STEALTH WORKS
- WEAPONS WORK

THE BAD
- THE VOICEOVERS
- THE CHARACTERS THAT LOOK NOTHING LIKE THEIR COUNTERPARTS
- THE COMBAT SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE
- THE GRAPHICS ARE VERY, VERY BLAND
- WHILE YOU'RE ATTACKING A GUARD, ONE OF HIS LITTLE BUDDIES RUNS OVER AND GRABS YOU, THEREFORE PREVENTING THE ATTACK

Overall, this was a good idea that could've been a lot better. Actually, I think 2K Games should've just gotten their dirty little paws off of this game and left it at the book. This really isn't a game at all. It's a piece of crap!!

Tough to Critique Gameplay Through the Bugs

Please note that these apply to the PC version of this game.

Despite falling well within the limits of the minimum specifications (2.5 GHz P4, 1 GB RAM, Radeon 9700 Pro 128 MB) the game has some of the most awful video glitches I've ever seen. Updates to the video drivers were no help either. To make things worse, there are no patches available either.

It is obvious that 2K Games had this title rushed out to cash in on the movie, paying little attention to trying to test compatibility with anything beyond their development systems. Granted, this system is no longer state of the art, but if they can't be bothered to beta test long enough to figure out accurate system requirements, why should we be forced to swallow this terrible state of quality?

Shameful.

The Game Developers Should Be Slapped

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.

SUPRISINGLY GREAT!!!

I played the Da Vinci Code with some doubt thinking that it would not be very great. But, It is actually a very good game. It follows the book where you play as Robert and Sophie. It is really intelligently made with difficult puzzles and smart battle sequences where you have to hit certain buttons to pull off a good combo. There is also the stealth mode where u have to escape from cops or sneak past a certain area. Of course there are some cool weapons to pick up. There are some flaws though.... First there is the camera. You constantly have to keep your and on the right analog stick to move the camera. Second.. the characters move to slow. There running looks like it is in slow motion. Lastly, the puzzles, even though they are fun, can be really hard and somewhat frustrating. But those are really minor flaws. I give this GAME A 4.5 ACTUALLY because it is fun, smart, addicting, and somewhat frightening (not really scary though). The game is overall great and exciting.

Fight and Knowledge = FUN !???

This game is fun. The puzzles are hard and I used [...] to get through the cryptography ones, but the rest are fun. The game follows the basic story as the book: fonding the grail (Mary) but goes to different places. While at the different areas you will see different painting and learn about ancient civilizations not metioned in the book (like Roman gods and goddeses) and are able to look at the stuff you seen in a menue where you can read more about them. This is one of two features I love about this game. The other feature is the fights where you press a series of bottons to knock out your enemys. It is quite fun! I would never think Robert Langdon would be beating up police and monks! I only rented this game and i have not beaten it, BUT I LOVE IT!

Almost a perfect adventure game

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.
