EPILOGUE
Four modes in this Game
You’ve finished the Story Mode (Tintin) now.
When you restart the Game you will enter Tintin’s Office again.
Tintin
Each of the Chapters can be replayed as many times as
you want without affecting the other Chapters.
When you replay a Chapter you already know the storyline so you can concentrate
on the missing Crabs with Golden Claws. Just look for the hidden Chests.
When you’ve collected all Crabs in a Level you will earn a Bonus.
Tintin and Haddock
In this mode you can either play with a partner of
simply alone, in which case you can switch the controls between Tintin and
Haddock. You can freely visit the Manor that is now the Property of Captain
Haddock and may explore the rooms and salons to find all kinds of new Treasures.
A Game of its own!
Challenges
Get through all of them!
Bonus
In this mode you’ll find everything you have won.
Review
The Game is unique in its own way. Based on a 3D movie
lots of the scenes are in 2D which is not that great.
Saving can be confusing though. There are merely Autosaves. Each of the 6 Levels
is divided into Chapters and you never know when an Autosave is occurring. And
if you interrupt the Game before an Autosave took place you have to replay that
Chapter from scratch. So the best thing to do is playing a Level until the end
in which case you will get the Journal with all the Chapters of the Level.
However, some Chapters can be very long.
R.G. started a weekly magazine on September 26, 1946
which he called Kuifje (Tintin). He
only allowed the highest quality comics, and of course Tintin included. The
funny slogan on the front page was:
Weekblad
voor kinderen van 7 tot 77 jaar (Magazine
for kids from 7 to 77 years old). I would say this Game is as such. It is not
that hard to play but can be often pretty intense.
My quote would be: 8/10 in B-class.
The
next Tintin movie
Steven Spielberg has planned his next Tintin Movie to
be released in three years from now. This movie will be based on two other
Tintin albums:
-
De
Zeven Kristallen Bollen (The
Seven Crystal Balls)
-
De Zonnetempel (The Temple
of the Sun)
These two successive albums constitute one long story
about the vengeance of some Inca Mummies – a bit of a weird story.
The movie will be probably called The Temple of the Sun, and so will the matching Game.
I would quote a typical Flemish expression: Here
I am...
Here I stay. Because I will surely write that walkthrough too.
R.G. used a lot of plain Brussels Flemish slang in his albums. The one I just
mentioned (Hier ben ik... Hier blijf ik) occurs in the album The Sceptre of Ottokar where Ottokar spoke the historical words in
Brussels slang (sounding like Syldavian though):

Eih Bennek...
Eih Blavek
