Game looks a lot better than I expected. Also, I was eating a banana when he totally knocked that dude out with a banana. Now I kinda want to play this.

Even I know that freeeeeeeench thing is a landmine, several ethnicities involved...

dog looks french..or idk maybe dutch instead.

Idk :(

..and the door opened..kind of a neat game though. Heeeey a ladies shoe for the fetish collection. That head collection was downright creepy. Like the flying clock. A little bit of the old ultraviolence. I like some of the concepts in this game

I'm surprised. I went into this expecting nothing but the worst. Actually looks good, for what it is! I can totally see this being greatly appreciated as a gateway platformer for kids! Simple but enjoyable, it seems.

I freaking loved the Tintin cartoon. In Brazil, his dog was named Milu.

Wait... did that crook mention the Bird brothers? It sounded like it. So this game is not based on the movie? Because they are not in the movie, only the comic. That is one of the main differences between the movie and comic.

Okey...it seems that the co-op takes place after the movie since Haddock seems to own Marlinspike Hall.

@Feigr: To be fair, I don't think the name would sound that good in English, though. Same goes for Dupond and Dupont (who are called Thompson and Thomson) and Tournesol (called professor Calculus, which is nowhere close of the original name, although he's supposedly not in the movie). Comic translations often change the characters' names to make them more language-friendly.

Anyway, this game looks decent enough. I may check it out if it goes on a sale.

Does not look nearly as bad as I had been expecting. It's good to see more effort being put into drawing kids into this industry.

Oh god, he really looks disturbing with eyeballs.

I fear this movie, I wish they just made him with the little black dots, if it doesn't even follow Hergé's style, what's the point?

Kind of a cool pastiche of Lego Star Wars and Shadow Complex. Probably not worth $40, but interesting if you have kids I guess.

Isn't Tin Tin from Belgium? I think its Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, Jumper) who's the voice actor for this.

I think this looks pretty cool. Shadow Complex lite, might pick it up if it were a download.

Whoever developed this game, I'd like to see what they could do with more time and freedom.  
 
Edit: Looked it up, these dudes are responsible for all the Rayman games and Beyond Good & Evil, so I guess I have seen what they can do. Although it would be nice to see some more of BG&E 2. Doing a bunch of Raving Rabbids games is kind of a waste of talent.

"The little viking guy" Vinny is refering to at the end of the video is probably Asterix of Asterix and Obelix fame. Also French, btw.

@Whiskey,@Dave, @Top Men

For about a week now, I've been noticing very slow download speeds and streaming problems on all of Whiskey Media videos. No matter what I choose, Progressive or Streaming (with HD), the video does not play smoothly and buffers every 2-3 seconds. When I choose to download, I get no more that 50 KB down.

I never had this problem with the sites before, and don't experience any slowdown on other sites.

My configuration:

ISP: Free Telecom, ADSL

Bandwith: 52 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up

Location: Paris, France

Can anyone point me to the right avenue so that this message reaches the engineers ?

I wonder what Hercule Poirot would have said if he had heard the whole French-Belgian thing. Makes me kinda sad that I've not seen a single reference to him in the comments.

Does this game have a platinum trophy? This looks like a fun little platformer but i'd need the excuse of the trophy to justify playing this to my friends for the co-op.
