The Adventures of Tintin: The Game

While the movie taps into the nostalgic vein of Hergé's original comic, the game thrives on the memory of traditional platformers. The platformer is the centerpiece of Ubisoft's crisp, charming riff on Spielberg's recent film. The subtle and nuanced movements of the cast, from daring jumps to crashing right hooks, are an artistic delight that makes the sidescrolling action consistently engrossing, even if the game has more ideas than it can handle in its short playtime.
