This is the last and best of all Infogrames' games based on the acclaimed
comics series. Intrepid
adventurer Tintin is back, and better than ever in this installation. The game
starts in Professor Midge's Museum, right after the good Professor has been attacked.
As Tintin, your job is to search for the identity and motive of his attacker. Little
do you know that this simple detective errand will evolve into a grand adventure
that spans the globe. To add to the mayhem, there's a
hidden treasure somewhere in the game that you have got to find. You can now play
both Tintin and his buddy Captain Haddock,
although Haddock's sequences are few and far between. Most sequences now have depth,
i.e. you can move both away and into the screen as well as left and right, adding an
exciting dimension to standard 2D side-scrolling gameplay. The game will take you
far and wide from France to Peru and beyond, and each sequence introduces new
gameplay, surprises, and terrain. Speech balloons and cutscenes advance the plot
even better than Disney's platform games. |
