In a nutshell...

Spot concealed artifacts in the wreck of the cruise liner, before your air supply runs out.

What’s it good for?

Straining your peepers as you try to locate a postage stamp (yes, really) hidden in the Titanic’s dining room.

Judgement time...

So, the “unsinkable” Titanic is languishing in its watery grave post-iceberg, and it’s chock full of precious treasure. There’s only one thing for an intrepid sort like yourself to do: climb into your diving suit and scour the wreck for booty!

That’s the idea behind Hidden Expedition: Titanic, anyway, but don’t come into it expecting a Tomb Raider-style archeological action game. No, what we’ve got here is a rather more sedate test of your observational skills.

Each expedition to the wreck gives you 25 minutes of oxygen, plus a handful of rooms to search and a list of stuff to locate. The rooms are represented by highly detailed (by mobile phone standards, anyway) 2D images, with your sought-after items cleverly camouflaged or otherwise hidden away. It takes a sharp eye to find each piece of loot, which is subsequently sent surface-wards by a deft click of the select button. Can’t spot a particular piece? Hit the “Hint” command and you’ll be taken straight to it - at the cost of a few seconds’ worth of precious air.

If you bring back all the booty within time you’re whisked to an even trickier bonus round. Here, you’re just given the silhouettes of the sought-after gear, plus whatever time you have left over.

While the visuals might not be quite up to N-Gage standards, and they’re not 3D, this is one of the better-looking titles we’ve reviewed. That said, the gameplay is rather limited in scope, so if you’re looking for the imagination-firing adventure game the title suggests, you may be disappointed. And it’s pricey too: at over £12, it makes N-Gage games look cheap by comparison.
