Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars

This brill game is one of the best i have ever played and if any one out there has not played this game i suggest you go out there and buy it.I rate this game 10 out of 10 ~ the game also has a cool sequel.The reason why i think this is such a good game is because it has every thing you want ~action,adventure,romance and a brilliant story.Is there anyone out there who agrees with me?

Broken Sword is a bit old now, but I think that this is the best cartoon-point-and-click adventure around. On both Playstation and PC. You play George Stobbart, who is an American tourist on vacation in Paris. He is sitting outside a cafe, when it is suddenly blown up by a man who appears to be a terrorist. One man dies in the explosion. George talks to the police, but they don`t believe him when he tells them that the killer was a clown(!). George decides to investigate on his own, and he tries to track down the killer, who is disguised as a clown. Poor George is about to enter a sinister world of mystery and death. The graphics are cartoonish and the scenery looks stunning. The mysterious music creates a perfect atmosphere. The story is excellent and gripping, and it is based on things that have really happened. The game has excellent and logical puzzles. All of these things make Broken Sword preferable to all other similar games out there. Broken Sword is a massive adventure, and is THE adventure to choose, wheather you`ve a Playstation or a PC. Brilliant game!

9,5/10

i first experienced broken sword on a ps1 demo when i was only 8 years old.. that was 11 years ago, and still to this day i go back and play it maybe twice, three times a year!. It is a 2d adventure game that plays so smooth its like watching a real life drama unfold before your very eyes, and you are the main character, George Stobbart, two b's and one t!. This game takes you on a journey across the globe from France to Spain to Scotland and even to my home Ireland!, you must solve puzzles and try figure out who nearly killed you that faithful day in Paris. It is out on ps1 (although hard to find), pc and gba. I love this game so much I have it on all 3 formats. Broken Sword will suck you in from the moment you hear George's voice after the infamous café explosion. If you have not yet played this game well then get it!, you don't know what you are missing!

This has to be one of if not the best point and click adventure game of all time. I first played when I was a child at the age of 11 on the PlayStation and loved the characters and story. The puzzles of course was challenging for an 11 year old but I managed to get though it and was very pleased with myself when I completed it. Even for a game as old as it is now it still holds up to be one of the all time greats if point and click games. Anyone who never got to play this it's worth giving it ago. Maybe it won't have the same effect without the nostalgia but you can pick the directors cut up for next to nothing now and can even download it for a smartphone or tablet. The directors cut isn't as good as the original but is still a good game.

Broken Sword is one of the true classics of the adventure game genre. It combines a dark story with a light-hearted cartoon look to provide an extremely satisfying combination. Broken Sword can be summed up as cross between Monkey Island and Gabriel Knight, using historical events as a back-setting for a mystery driven adventure but colouring it with lighthearted humour.

The first adventure in the series is undoubtedly the best. The mysterious plot keeps you in its grip and the many goofy characters you encounter make the game an unforgettable experience. The puzzles are very simple in a way that they can be figured out without incredible leaps of logic.

Although there is some inconsistency in the quality of certain cut-scenes and thought the soundtrack is not as high quality as those of the later instalments, The Shadow of the Templars has a timeless quality that makes it enjoyable every time you play it.
