The Da Vinci Code Game Download
As a game focusing on some adventure gameplay and heavily reliant on puzzle solving and logic, The Da Vinci Code doesn't have too much to grasp in order to play the game properly. With one blaring.

A strange murder at Paris' museum, the Louvre, leads two investigators to a great secret hidden in the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci.

Rather amazingly however, The Da Vinci Code isn't entirely unappealing. Like realising it was actually a plastic joke-poo you stood on, then turning to your friends, laughing and giving them two thumbs up before walking off happier than before. If you haven't read the bestseller, the maddeningly twisty plot will keep you on edge throughout the game - probably its best appeal. Following the plot of the papery opus closely, the game lifts dialogue, characters and settings right out of Dan Brown's over-hyped pamphlet of lies and places them in a third-person Broken Sword-style clue-hunt 'em up.
Not surprising really, since Broken Sword creator Charles Cecil was on board for development and it shows in places. Despite feeling like a rushed PC conversion, The Da Vinci Code is an enjoyable adventure. Action sections are passable, and the game's logic puzzles managed to attract a crowd of baying amateur cryptographers. While it lacks the charm and cleverness of the Broken Sword games, it retains the compelling one-more-chapter allure of the novel. Also, that loser Tom Hanks isn't in it.
