Broken Sword two follows George Stobbart and Nico as they continue their adventures. In this sequel the storyline remains equally intricate. Stobbart is your average jack-of-all-trades and he has that knack of using everyday objects to do extraordinary things. You also get the oppurtunity to control Nico, something you don't get in Broken Sword 1.

There are quite a few puzzles which are difficult to solve and require some lateral thinking. There is also an added danger factor. But the game is thoroughly enjoyable and I'd reccomend it to anyone.

Another addictivly irratating game!

Broken Sword 2, the continous story from Broken Sword 1. Broken Sword 2 was rated as either 9/10 or 10/10 from magazines all over the world from Russia to England, America and Japan. Broken Sword 2 follows on the story from the previous game with better graphics and a more trickier plot. BS2 is shorter than the previous but is more trickier and there are more ways to get yoourself killed! The game starts off brilliantly then the action starts, imagine a poison spider crawlling up your leg and a fire over by the exit while you are tied to the chair, if thats your fab dream then this is the game for you. Not for the weak minded this game sends puzzle after puzzle and none are easy to complete. But the action is there although not as good as some games but this type of action require more thought that fistes, one false move and you may set off a gaurds gun or fall into a pit, the game is very hard to complete but is very challenging.

great!

This was given to me as a present when I was at my parent's house. I had the playstation console with me so I popped in the game. It was a mystery game that started with your main character tied to a chair and a tranula-like spider crawling towards you. Your character watches as goones whack your girlfriend over the head and take her away. What do you do next? The graphics are great and it's in animation form. This game seems to hook everyone that watches it. It is difficult to turn off. My parents ended up buying a playstation because of this game.

Quite enjoyable

It makes a great sequel. Lots of fans of Broken Sword say it's not nearly as good as its predeccesor but I think it's equally good. Though the graphics are a little groggy on the playstation version they still are quite nice. The game is undoubtedly an adventure and strategy type game. There is absoulutely no action or fighting. That does not automatically mean it has no suspense. To fight you have to look at your suroundings and choose what to use on your opponet. George(main character) takes it over from there. Simple?yes. It has simple 2-D graphics and point and click control. After all it was originally a PC game. Plus it is a bit old. In fact I was only 6 when it first came out in 1997. I would type more but i'm getting bored. If you want to check it out you should just try buying it from here because it's most likely no where else. You most likely won't be able to rent it from anywhere. You should definetly check it out. It can be quite hard and frustrating at times so you should check out www... for walkthroughs and hints. It also has a great forum with a lot of great people from all over the world. The game itself was actually made in Europe somewhere. Sorry I couldn't give you anymore information. Thanks for reading my review.....CU.

Don't know what all the hype is about

I bought this game, in part because all I'd heard about it was good. I made a mistake. Broken Sword 2 is certianly very pretty to look at, and the animation flows relatively well, but.... Remember Willy Beamish? How about Space Ace, or Dragonslair? Same vein, here. The Gamer from Gloucester found each of the aforementioned games neat for about five minutes when they were fresh, years ago. By the time he got to Broken Sword, all he could say was been there, done that. Techinally, there is nothing wrong with this game, folks. The art is beautiful, the music is well done, everything flows, the story is even pretty good. Ther is just something lacking, that magical quality that makes a game great isn't here. A game that is older conceptually can shine, if you don't believe me check out Lunar, the Silver Star Story, complete. Broken Sword 2 on the other hand is not much more than a technologically dressed up version of a concept that was a novelty in the late eighties. The play is still confining, the arc of the story can't escape the loop of the programming. Forget one tiny detail, and you'll end up talking to the same grumpy old man on a french sidewalk cafe, unable to advance the game, no matter how hard you try.All the graphics and music are like silk curtians dressing broken windows. If you want me to go back to playing cartoon video games, give me something new, like a little flexability in the game play. Also, in an age where three dimensional enviornments and 360 views are becoming more and more easy to use and look at, this game has a very flat feel to it. This is the first game I've ever said, "Don't buy it. You can speand your money on something better." But you can.

Very decent adventure

I like this game a lot - the story about old mayan religion is very interesting and deep. You take on the role as George Stobbard who has to find his girlfriend who seemingly was kidnapped by a mayan indian. As the story unfolds you'll be tangled up in everything from drug smuggling to ghosts to the possible end of the world.

The puzzles are usually well though out, though some of them seem a little obscure. What really stands out is the voice acting and music - both very well done. The humour is also great and the graphics is classy.

The only real problem is that the story, while good, sometimes drags on a little too long and it's easy to lose interest if you're not focused. With that said though; the game is very good and there are parts of the story that are truely creepy.

A great follow up

This game is an excellent sequel to the first Broken Sword (aka Circle of Blood). The 2D graphics are the same, which is great. If you can find this game for the PC, then grab it!

A great game. The first is better, but I wish there were more point and click games around. They make me feel like I'm doing something almost educational. Either way, get this game, and if you can get it's predecessor, I would.
