The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn - The Game (360)

I was delighted to see Tintin recently at the cinemas, I grew up with the books and loved the excitement and intrigue of the comic books.

When I was growing up though computers were very much a new thing and whilst some computer games were genius they were nowhere near as sophisticated and impressive as they are now.

This movie tie-in I am delighted to say works really well, not just because of the subject matter but also because it has been well produced.

The game can be played as single or co-operative with players controlling the film's main characters Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock.

The game is a mix of 2D and 3D gaming with some fine platforming fun and funny combat.

Graphically the game is pretty good, it looks the part and there are really no complaints, the same can be said for the sound also.

If you want an all-round adventure that the kids will enjoy then this is a decent game.

It is advertised as a Kinect game but don't worry you can play it without. If you have got Kinect there are a few separate gameplay modes that add to the mix and give it further depth and enjoyment.

Great to see Herge's most famous son getting a new lease of life.
