Really not a fan of the new art style compared to the art style of the original comics.

Jesus Christ, this. Whose bright idea was it to try and make Tintin look kind of realistic?

It seems like they made the best game they could on a tiny budget.

It's the BG&E team that made this game so I'm in. It's already £14 over here so I'll no doubt grab it sometime soon.

The movie is really good, but this looks rather... bad.

EDIT. Okay, I take that back. The co-op looks sort of neat.

The movie is awesome, it reminded me a lot of Uncharted, they should put out a Tintin skin for Drake and just play that game instead.

Tintin is voiced by Adam Howden, who did Anders in Dragon Age 2.

So no Johnny Depp...

The film is amazing, but I don't feel tempted to spend my money on this.

My favourite Tintin book remains "Tintin and the Shooting Star". Although this game looks like typical shovelware/movie-tie-in, I'm just glad that Tintin will gain more exposure in this day and age. Sure, looking back, some of the Tintin books weren't all that great. But man did I like reading them when I was a child.

Not based on vikings though. More like celts. There are vikings I guess.

Adored Tintin as a kid, the comics were great as were the stories. Those eyes are super weird though.

The platforming sections (80% of the game) are pretty fun. The license and developer were my incentives to pick this up, so your mileage may vary, but what's here is good.

This game doesn't look terrible, I actually kind of liked the co-op.

Tintin is very cool, if you haven't read any of the comics, and like comic books, you should check them out.

Also, this game (The single player atleast) looks shockingly similar to the PS1 Tintin game.

I have no point of reference for Tin Tin, but I'm totally behind this movie. This seems like it could be a good girlfriend game... maybe when it hits the bargain bin.

It's like Shadow Complex, but for kids. And great griefing, Vinny, shooting Brad with the grappling gun as he jumped across. Plus, the giant Tintin was frightening.

If more of the gameplay was based on eliminating foes through setting up traps on them, this would be pretty cool.

To be fair, Belgium is only known for candy and child molestors, and they only make the candy to get to the children.

This might be my new favorite quick look. Brad saying he's never died and then immediately dieing. Vinny killing Brad. Giant Tintin!

Tin Tin = Sam Fisher - nightvision

Tin Tin with a Johnny Gat head would be way more cooler.

The co-op mode almost seemed longer than the single player story.

The artstyle of Tin Tin always put me off from reading them as a kid so I've maybe only read one of the books or so. I actually liked what I saw in this Quicklook though and would easily pay 15, maybe even 20, dollars for the single and multiplayer without the challenges stuff if this were a downloadable game.
