Broken Sword: Director's Cut

At least the original is included in the extras.

Watch out Mac users, the original version is only included as a .EXE, so it's good old Windows only. Other than that, great game.

I disagree about this version being inferior to the original. It adds and expands, and offers something a little new to old players. New players wont notice the difference either, so everyone's a winner! I think this is a perfect update to an old classic. It takes away nothing from the original, only adds a few extra scenes and puzzles, which all fit in perfectly with the original game. I wish all update/remakes were this well done. Brilliant game.

There are just a few details I like most in the DC, for example, some closer look at some points and the faces in the corners (that could be better anyway). But the addition of scenes is not specially good, and the puzzles are not Broken Sword deserved (they're closer to Layton's for DS, and I like that, but they don't fix with BS style). I hate specially the lose of details, it's to simplified, you can only interact with useful objects and lose lots of dialogue (you won't see Stobbart saying that for a moment, he thought about climbing the lamppost and scream in the first scene), and those were the details that make BS a deeper and funnier experience, and that make you interact with things you weren't sure if were useful for the game or not. Now, you have 3 hot-spots and you know everything you have to do at first sight. It's not that bad once you already played it, I already knew everything, but first-time players are losing the real BS experience. And by the way, resolution and graphics aren't much better. So, there're many downs in DC and not too many ups. Anyway, here you buy both, so don't worry for that. Just one detail, DC is Multi-5 (audio/subtitles), but original version is English only (both audio/subtitles, no extra subtitles available).

first time play was for me magical this is a game for everyone!
