The game's presentation helps its cause too - the cut-scenes, puzzle boards and music are all top notch.Īngels & Demons Puzzle is quite sedate - a fancy solitaire style puzzler rather than a frantic block-falling one. These goals offer a good level of challenge and they quickly become brain-taxing affairs. Others are all about finishing the level with as few pegs remaining as possible. In some you have to score a certain number of points in order to earn a Bronze, Silver or Gold rating - if you fail to earn any, you can't move onto the next puzzle. They can be jumped, but they knock points off your overall score. There are also anti-matter pegs, which are best avoided. Once you jump one Illuminati peg, the others switch from being open to closed, or vice-versa. When their eye is open, you can't jump them, so you have to wait for them to close. Less helpful are the Illuminati pegs, which have eyes. Then there are elemental pegs, which are able to take out up to five other pegs of the same type in a row. Marble ones are the basic pegs and can just be used to jump over one other peg (which causes the peg it's jumped to disappear). Not that this makes the game a bad one - and, in fact, the puzzle game in question is a good one.Įach level begins with a differently shaped grid, and on that grid you're given an assortment of pegs. It's just a puzzle game with the film's name and the added bonus of a story to read in between levels. You play either for points or to clear the board of as many pegs as possible, neither of which has anything to do with angels, demons, dead popes or evil Catholics.īasically, Angels & Demons Puzzle is a bit of a swizz in terms of being a film tie-in game. So you read through the cut-scenes - which are told through dialogue between the story's characters - then you go on to play a puzzle game which has little significance to what you've just read.

But, instead of telling the story in the cutscenes then tailoring a puzzle to fit what's going on, the game sticks to one type of puzzle - a solitaire peg-based sort of one. Making the game a puzzle one - as Sony has done - is a far wiser choice. Admittedly it's a tough one to convert into a mobile game - a Robert Langdon platformer with him leaping about the Vatican slaughtering members of the Illuminati probably wouldn't work. Mainly because Angels & Demons the game doesn't really have anything to do with Angels & Demons the story. That story didn't attract the same levels of criticism, but this mobile game based on its just-released film tie-in deserves a little bit of its own.

Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code attracted a fair amount of criticism when it was published - mostly from Catholics and Christians but also from historians disputing he'd done his research before putting pen to paper.īefore his Harvard University symbologist character Robert Langdon became so famous in that book, though, he'd already featured in a first story - Angels & Demons.
