Recently, he's executive produced several TV series that are hits with the gamer crowd (Arrested Development, 24), and his record with movies (A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man) is impeccable.

The movie is being directed by Ron Howard, who's come a long, long way since The Burbs. "There is so much diversity offered to the player in this game," says Rierson, "whether it's stealth play through dark corridors, creating diversions for a quick getaway, or facing the fire going toe-to-toe with a mercenary monk while fighting for your life." So, while the book may have been targeted at the geriatric set, the game sounds like it's aimed directly at today's action gamers.

In other words, this won't be a point and click adventure tale full of arcane puzzles and other such dull fare that might be more familiar to the people who haven't played any games but CSI or Myst. "Sophie's petite stature, physical speed, agility, and law enforcement skills" will be her primary assets, says Rierson, while Langdon will utilize his "knowledge, physical capabilities, and prowess." Cordy Rierson, producer on the game, describes the two characters as "stylistically and behaviorally different, providing the player a variety of experiences, including stealth, adventure, and combat." Each character will have his or her own strengths and weaknesses, too. (Naturally, we're hoping at least his laughably feathery hairdo will be represented.) You'll also play as Langdon's cohort, Sophie Neveu (played in the movie by Amelie cutie Audrey Tautou). Langdon is played by lovable everyman Tom Hanks in the movie, though it's not yet certain whether Hanks' likeness will be in the game. He's a Harvard professor and the world's leading symbologist (someone who interprets codes and cryptographs). The player will assume the role of Robert Langdon, the novel's dashing protagonist. Sneaking down quiet hallways, car chases through Rome, labyrinthine hedge mazes, melee fighting psychotic monks-if Vatican priests in ancient Rome did it, chances are it's in this game. It's a third-person action-adventure that plays out the same events from the novel using a variety of standard gameplay mechanics.

The Da Vinci Code is in development by The Collective and is scheduled for release this May to coincide with the opening of the motion picture also based on the book. While it lacks the charm and cleverness of the Broken Sword games, it retains the compelling one-more-chapter allure of the novel. Action sections are passable, and the game's logic puzzles managed to attract a crowd of baying amateur cryptographers.

Despite feeling like a rushed PC conversion, The Da Vinci Code is an enjoyable adventure. Not surprising really, since Broken Sword creator Charles Cecil was on board for development and it shows in places. Following the plot of the papery opus closely, the game lifts dialogue, characters and settings right out of Dan Brown's over-hyped pamphlet of lies and places them in a third-person Broken Sword-style clue-hunt 'em up. If you haven't read the bestseller, the maddeningly twisty plot will keep you on edge throughout the game - probably its best appeal. Like realising it was actually a plastic joke-poo you stood on, then turning to your friends, laughing and giving them two thumbs up before walking off happier than before. Rather amazingly however, The Da Vinci Code isn't entirely unappealing. Similar To That feeling you get when you realise you're about to stand in dog shit but can do nothing to prevent it the feeling you get when you're faced with the official game of the crap movie of the decent book is one of worry - especially when it's released alongside its silver screen companion, suggesting that the fundamental influence in the game's development was cold hard cash.
