As a well-established character, D’Artagnan is essentially carved in stone from the beginning of the game and while a very basic set of character attributes – Attack, Defense, Honor and Shooting – will increase as players progress, points will be assigned to each category automatically. It suffers from several serious flaws, perhaps the most fundamental being that it’s not entirely accurate to call it an RPG at all. Unfortunately, The Three Musketeers isn’t quite as impressive as it sounds. The music is generally quite good and obsessive Achievement hunters will be pleased to hear that the game has many to collect. In-game graphics are blocky and unremarkable, but have a certain retro charm to them the hand-drawn interludes that advance the plot, on the other hand, are decidedly ugly, although a couple of frames did elicit some genuine, out-loud-laughter.

The French countryside is rather corridor-like, with excessive wandering prevented by trees and farmers’ fields, but there is a good chunk of territory to explore if you have the patience for it. The game takes place in a top-down world composed of various villages and towns, each a small collection of houses and people. Once there, he makes the acquaintance of Athos, Porthos and Aramis, the three musketeers of legend, beginning a friendship – after a rocky start – that will lead through countless adventures and ultimately help shape the very fate of France itself. In The Three Musketeers, players step into the boots of young D’Artagnan as he sets out to join the ranks of the famous Musketeers, making his way across the French countryside and eventually to the capital of Paris.

But while Dumas’ novel has endured to become one of the famous literary works of all time, the video game is proof that great source material does not guarantee a great game.
