Why you can trust GamesRadar+
For a game that's all about using your brain, The Da Vinci Code sure can insult your intelligence. "These symbols don't look familiar," says Langdon, whose whole life revolves around deciphering the meaning of symbols. Turns out you have to solve another puzzle first; then they're suddenly easily deciphered. Argh. And speaking of artificial intelligence, your enemies are pretty brain-dead too; it's so easy to elude the French police and murderous monks, you might as well put your hands over your eyes and scream "you can't see me!"
Usually, adventure games require you to write down the clues as you go, but here's an area where The Da Vinci Code got it right: everything you see, collect or learn in the game is recorded in an in-game database which you can check whenever you like. Inventory objects like cell phones and raw meat (don't ask) can be rotated in 3D too; sometimes inspecting them reveals further clues.
