Broken Age: The Complete Adventure

Its has it all! Great game from Tim Schafer. Very nice artwork, soundtrack (by Peter McConnell) and voices (with Jack Black, Elijah Wood, etc.) Highly recommended! The only bad thing its that for now, it is only the first part, and its kind of short and easy. But the second its coming very soon.

Went into this game long after the hype and hate machines had run down. An injured hand is forcing me to work through my point and click backlog. This game has been staring at me for ages and only now have I gotten around to it. I remember initially not liking the art style but it grew on me. Loving both worlds and how they interlink. The voice acting was superb and the writing really solid. It is very short, I finished it in a single play through but I don't feel cheated. Can't wait for Act 2.

Broken Age two is by far the finest return to the classic point-and-click adventure games of the SCUMM golden age. The voice acting is beyond superb, the puzzles are delightful but not absurdly difficult, and the animation, though odd at first, is beautiful and has become my favorite in an adventure game so far. The story is quite excellent, my one and only complaint is that Act I is remarkably short. I finished the first act in about 3 hours. Act II is yet to come, I would recommend purchasing the game now because the second act will be included in your purchase as a free future download when the time comes, and any money spent on the first act will go to funding the second act

Take the humor and creativity of any DoubleFine game, add Monkey Island, A setting similar to Lord of the Rings, one similar to 2001, Elijah Wood, Jack Black, and Wil Wheaton in prominent roles, and a great 2 sides to every story theme, and you get Broken Age, and it is amazing.

As a backer I have played part one and can say the love and care that has gone into this game is amazing. It looks beautiful, has top voice acting and the wonderful writing of Tim. I will say that part one is generally too easy, particularly those, like me, who eat adventure games for breakfast. But for many, this will be the perfect adventure game, as it wont frustrate the newbie. For myself I finished Part One in about 2 hours and I adored every moment. I cant wait for Part two, especially as Tim has promised to make part two a bit harder.
