While the movie taps into the nostalgia vein of Hergé's original comic strip, the game feeds from the memory of traditional platformers. Platforming is the beating heart of Ubisoft's crisp, charming riff on Spielberg's recent film. The subtlety and nuance of the cast's movements, from daring leaps to nose-smashing right-hooks, is an artistic delight that keeps the sidescrolling action consistently engaging, even if it does turn out to have more ideas than its slender runtime can cope with.

The Adventures of Tintin: The Game is a pretty neat 2D platformer slightly bogged down by Licensed Game "Alternate ways of Play". What I mean is that between levels there are Crash Bandicoot plane flying, Skyward Sword on rails sword swinging, and driving/turret section. These kind of start waring their welcome pretty fast, but the actual levels are dope.
This game is made by the Ubisoft studio that makes Rayman (old and new) and most recently made the new Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, so this studio has the pedigree for 2D platforming. It's pretty simplistic, but it frequently had little gimmicks that made me go "oh! neat!". A main mechanic of this game is picking up and throwing different items. If you throw banana's on someone, they will slide until they fall down a floor or hit a wall. Beach balls will bounce off walls and maybe hit multiple people. Cauldrons will land on people's hands making them hit allies. These aren't used all the time, but its still pretty neat.
The clouds in this game also look fucking crazy, I kind of think they used some of the UbiArt Engine to make them look that good.
Overall, just a neat short 2D platform adventure.

I was really fucking with this game, it is bombastic, cartoonishly violent, and has 2D puzzle-platforming combat that makes me go "ohhh! thats awesome!". But Sadly, my Xbox 360 finally got the Red Ring of Death and this attempt at this game has been shelved. Pour one out for a 14 year old console. 🫡
I love the Tintin series and movie, but this game was kinda disappointing. The game is very short, and not as detailed and well-made as i had hoped.
Worth playing alone just for Haddock’s insults
An okay licensed game for a goated ass movie.
I miss movie tie-in games so much
