The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript

This is not the official Da Vinci game related to Dan Brown’s book. According to most reviews we found online this one is actually a lot better. Are you interested in Leonardo Da Vinci? Would you like to know how he lived? Well this game will satisfy those people who answer “yes” to the previous questions. The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript looks impressive. Full 3D graphics and a first person view make you feel like you are back in 1522. The puzzles are interesting but not that hard to complete, the story is intriguing and the characters are nicely done. In short, this is a very nice adventure game for casual players and history buffs alike. The Forbidden Manuscript has been released in Europe already and will be available in the US this month. Don’t miss this one.

Never trust outward looks. Or first impressions. Do not trust second impressions either, for that matter. Things can be deceiving, and not always by chance. So when you see a game called The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript, do not assume that it is adapted from Dan Brown’s bestselling novel – it isn’t. Do not assume that it’s nothing more than a rip-off, trying to ride the franchise’s popularity at the time of the movie’s release – it isn’t either. And do not think that because the title refers to a “forbidden manuscript”, the game involves dark and forbidden secrets – it doesn’t. Oh, wait a minute; does this mean the second impression might not have been completely unfounded after all? Indeed not, but only as far as the title is concerned. Is your head spinning already? Good! You’re getting in the right frame of mind for the intrigue the game offers.
