Poor Allan Quatermain just can't catch a break. Disasters like the 2003 movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen thwarted previous attempts at rekindling interest in the original fictional tomb raider, and now with Deadfall Adventures , you must endure his great grandson's hackneyed lines as he...

+ Occasionally beautiful interiors and exteriors; skill system based on finding treasure

- Horrible, clichéd script; unlikable main character; treasure's too easy to find, - Character models look outdated; leads have no chemistry, ?

The inspiration for Deadfall Adventures is immediately clear, but despite developer The Farm 51′s aspirations to create an action game in the same vein as Indiana Jones and pulp novels like King Solomon's Mines, filled with archeological adventure and intriguing mystery, the game's limited charm...

Some games deserve an A for effort but fall painfully short of being a good game. So is the case with " Deadfall Adventures " for PC and XBOX 360.
