Personally, I love history, so I was drawn to the title of this game. The plot exceeded my expectations, as it was as close to the plot of the movie National Treasure as you can get without copyright infringement. The basic story is that two friends find a Book of Legends and decide to follow the clues that the book leaves for them. This leads the friends in a treasure hunt around Washington D.C. through many historical sites like the White House and the Lincoln Memorial.
The point of the game is similar to a game like Righteous Kill, where you point and click on different clues, that the checklist requires. In addition to the usual point and click story, you use some of the items that you have found. For example, the first level requires you to find gas tanks and a funnel, then take the items and fill your boats engine. After that, you drive the boat up and down the Potomac River to find the exact spot where you can figure out the clue.
As I have previously stated, I am not a fan of point and click games. But this game had a plot that really interested me, so it was definitely more compelling than most games. That being said, the cursor sometimes lagged and some of the clues were really difficult to find in the often strange light. The graphics were pretty good, but the character’s dialogue was strange and unnatural. Overall, I would give this game 2.5 stars out of 5.
