As good as they come!

I started out playing Broken Sword 2.5 and got halfway through when I thought I just HAVE to see hown everything all got started for Stobbart and Collard--> 'adventurers extrodinaire!) So I paid and downloaded the first 2 games-(updated ones) and have not been disappointed in the least,,! I especially enjoy the main characters from game to game as well as the engaging plot twists. This entire franchise is a must have for fans of point n click adventure games! Great job to all you folks who made these games availible at such a reasonable price. bye4now,,,starlynx57

GOG: thank you! adventure fans: BUY! :)

for providing the original with the new version! :) And I strongly want to give players who don't know Broken Sword already an IMHO good advice: play the original game, first - then you will enjoy the genuine feeling of playing it and understand, why this game earned cult status among its players. After that you will enjoy that extra portion of Nici in the beginning of the new version :) But after diving deeper into the new one, you also will soon be very, double or triple happy to have the original, too. a) for reasons of comparison and b) because the bf version definitively lacks the charme the original version will let you love it for. And while the price is so reduced that even getting the new version alone would be a bargain, you should really put this superb bundle in your basket, today, I'm pretty sure you'll not regret it! :) (sorry, my English is not too good, for I'm no native speaker... but I hope it was understandable)

Play Gabriel Knight instead

I played a lots of adventure games of the golden age. Loom, Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, King's Quest, you name it. When Broken Sword was released, I kinda hoped to find the great Gabriel Knight's saga successor. Boy was I disappointed. First of all, this is a "tourist game": absolutely no historical accuracy. Paris looks like a village build around the Eiffel Tower, french policemen are dressed like how they used to in the second half of the XIXth century, Ireland is just a pub surrounded by green pastures... Did you just say "cliché"? Even worse, the whole intrigue about the templars doesn't even make sense, you never really get to know what they attempt to do (take off the world, obviously, much like the purple tentacle in Day of the Tentacle) but you don't know why or even how. Now, the game is cute and very colourful. A pop-corn game, but only play it if you have nothing better to do.
