tenía el disco rayado y se me paraba siempre en una parte del juego y no me dejaba avanzar :/
Mediocre game at best. Not particularly memorable. Some really frustrating sections due to the janky platforming. It's a hard recommendation to someone not familiar with the franchise.
The control system in this game lacks innovation and is a major disappointment. The game's response to player input is quite poor, resulting in a frustrating experience. Additionally, there is a noticeable input delay which further adds to the frustration.
The levels in the game are poorly balanced. Some are extremely easy, while others are made nearly impossible due to the bad handling. Particularly in the levels that involve vehicles, the control system proves to be a major hindrance, making it difficult to properly control them.
The game follows a traditional platform style, but lacks originality. It is split into five "worlds" divided into two or three "lands." At the end of each, players are rewarded with a bonus stage if they collect enough tokens. This repetitive structure adds to the sense of unoriginality.
Despite these drawbacks, I managed to persevere and finish the game. The only reason I did so was to be able to write this review, and because I had committed to playing through all of the Tintin games. Luckily, there are only seven games in total (ignoring ports), and none of them are overly long.

The definition of medium quality right here. The platform stages are fun and the Milo sections are good too. The vehicle stages doesn't have good controls, and the sound quality is not the best. The story resume many stories from the comics and for me a Brazilian kid was awesome to play it in Portuguese. Play it only if you are a fan of the Character
Tough sell for anyone not very familiar with the IP. And if you are, you know how parts of it aged. This game adapts several comics, incuding Land of Black Gold where there are some really bad portrayals of Africans.
The game doesn't have much going for it mechanically, but it can be pretty impressive for its visual style. The music is fantastic as well. Parts of it are really underrated, and there is stuff to dig in here for fans of the series, but the platforming/vehicle gameplay loop is inoffensive at best, frustrating at worst. It's not the PS1 Uncharted, unfortunately.
