Review
Broken Sword is a point and click puzzle game, where you wander around examining various items and talking to the different characters encountered.
In it you get to play the part of George Stobbart, an American on vacation in Paris. He is quietly minding his own business outside a cafe one morning when a rather shifty looking character enters the cafe with a briefcase and is soon followed in by an even more strange looking clown. Moments later the clown departs and the cafe explodes.
It is from this point that you start your adventure, trying to find out why the old man with the briefcase was blown up and his briefcase stolen. The main aim of the game seems to be to find out about a broken sword and a mysterious group of nights known as the Templars.
The graphics for this game are all done in cartoon style, and are rather well done. It is a two dimensional game, but this does not detract from the game at all.
This games main fault is its over complicated puzzles, quite a few of which can stop the game in its tracks and become very annoying in deed.
The game can also be rather slow, and I don't mean this just in terms of action. You can soon get very tired of waiting for the game to load each scene, as you leave one room for another. Or for George to finish talking too someone he has already talked to.
But apart from that if you like a game with tons of hard to solve puzzles and not a lot of action then this is the game for you.
