The official game of the movie, and it’s not bad!

To accompany the smash animated movie from Steven Spielberg, Ubisoft have developed a tie in game, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.

This is a semi-3D game, mixing 2D platforming with some 3D elements. The gameplay is hardly original, but it is at least handled well and offers a polished experience that fans and gamers will enjoy. While The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn takes it’s visual style from the movie, it feels more playful and in line with the comics.

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn isn’t very challenging, but is fun none the less. Controls are simple, meaning anyone can get to grips with it. You’ll play as Tintin, his dog Snowy as well as Captain Haddock. Even better, there’s a two player coop mode, set in Captain Haddock’s dreams, which are amusingly imaginative and lengthen what would otherwise be too short a game.

Whether you’re a fan of Tintin or not, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is a fun and absorbing platform game full of character and atmosphere.
