Customer Reviews

Classic Stobbart!
Firsty, I was surprised to read that some reviewers were disappointed with the keyboard controls for the game, as I found this only enhanced the game and the gameplay, made it more interesting and easier to control the characters. But I suppose everybody differs in opinion on that one. Oh and I had no problems installing it either.

On to the gameplay: I found that the challenging and interesting puzzles in this game were fantastic and had me hooked for ages! Who would have thought that pushing boxes around could be so fun? There is just no comparison to this game, for instance, I have recently played The Black Mirror which seemed to concentrate more on graphics and scenery more than humour and gameplay. The characters are just far more interesting and you empathise with them in Broken Sword as well. However, by far the main thing that makes this game so brilliant, is the dextrousness of the humour by George and Nico and the rapport they both have with each other and the with the other characters. Whereas in The Black Mirror, the main character sounds like a snobby know-it-all who has no respect for the 'lower classes', George is just...cool!

A brilliant game for anyone who likes point-and-clicks...and even if you don't usually play them, give it a go, it's intersting and will make you laugh, and keep you occupied for ages!

What is it with Broken Sword!! Just fantastic
This game really is brilliant, the locations, the characters and most of all length. It has a fantastic storyline and who said the action sequences are laughable, there grreat. The controls are fine once you get used to thembut havtng loved the first two broken sword games i do sometimes miss the good old point and click. I now feel that i can truly say that these games are the best games i have ever played. You really must own this game you won't regret it aslong as you are patient because at times it can be very challenging.


P.S Can't wait for number four: Angel Of Death

Must have game
Ok, first of all, this isn't a point and click game, you can't use your mouse, only the keyboard, and yes its annoying till you get used to it, but once you have done it'll feel very natural, and it in no way hinders the game play. First the plot, well its a Broken Sword game, so its got an intriguing story line and its very funny. The puzzles aren't too difficult, though the game has to many block moving problems which get somewhat repetitive. You can die, but its never a very big problem as the game simply resets to a point just before you die, and its normally a case of pressing the right button in a short space of time. I have to say the graphics are amazing, the camera however is slightly annoying, when you need to run away from someone trying to kill you and the camera suddenly shifts in a totally different direct, thus making you run back the way you came, your keyboard is in serious danger of being broken by excessive whacking. like any game it has its flaws, but overall its a brilliant game, and worthy of the Broken Sword line.
