Held Back by Poor Pacing

I'm not sure which parts are included in the original game and which are only in the director's cut; I only played the director's cut. I was immediately immersed while playing as Nicole--I found the story engaging and the puzzles challenging. There was a good balance of puzzle solving and dialogue scenes that kept me interested in both. Then, enter George Stobbart. George ambles around Paris for a good long time, meeting all sorts of quirky and loveable characters... and that's about it. I came to a realization shortly after flying to Ireland that each scene left me less and less motivated to continue. The story, while interesting, contained either too little suspense or too little action. I will praise Broken Sword for the writing, the funny dialogue and the endless supply of oddball characters. Unfortunately, I need more than just conversations with likeable people to keep me intrigued. With the sudden disappearance of any and all puzzles after I took control of Stobbart, what started as an effervescent delight steadily lost its fizz, until I altogether lost interest in finishing.

You play this, Revolution has you...

This game, I played when I was mid-teens. A fun fact: it was originally named Circle of Blood. To this day (and I'm now middle-aged) I quote this game and this series as an icon, a model of wonderful storytelling with just the right amount of technological assist needed to convey the subject-matter and impart valuable knowledge as it went along! The opening scene was Epic! for its time, the direction was first class, if you played it back then, I'm sure you cannot forget the clown. The creepiest clown after penny wise! I found this and its sequel to be the best of the series. Do yourself a favour if you have no qualms about the genre or the medium or anything else, do not miss out on this artistic masterpiece!

A slight dissapointment

I've loved BS:TSOTT ever since I first played it in the mid 90's so I was all excited when I coulddownload it for basically no money at all. After a rather quick play through my emotions are kinda mixed. I am delighted the graphics haven't been improved, at least not so much one notices. I am dissapointed in the new puzzles that just get frustrating as it requires a sort of thinking that I, personally, don't like in the BS-games. I am also dissapointed in the way the rmake guides me to areas of interest. What I enjoyed the most in the original game (that is included in the purchase thank the saints) was to click on random objects and hear George say something witty about it. This is impossible now. I don't mind the added introduction with Nico per se, but when you get tired of the puzzles (the locks and the coded messages) and find a walkthrough there's something wrong. That's not what I'm after in a Broken Sword game, as been mentioned before. I also don't mind the little avatar like characther picture during conversations but it doesn't go with the story. Why not lip sync or at least add appropriate expressions? Now it's just a cosmetic change so that theplayers will notice that something is new. To sum it up, they've taken a classic and made it a little bit worse. Just a tad though and I was balancing between 4 or 5 stars. So even though I finally put 4 it actually means 4.5. And after all, you do get the original game aswell as some other goodies so I really shouldn't complain.

A good old classic.

In these times of turmoil, when the industry is burning down, it is good to remember how many games began appearing from the minds of Indie developer teams. Broken Sword is a game made with love and care, every asset is hand drawn and beautifully animated for the year it was released. The Story kept me totally invested for 10 hours (I ended the game in one siting), that's how good the writing is. It deserves the cult following it has and more. The only negative thing it has is that the characters walk as if they were walking on molasses, but that’s just a nitpick.

Great game

I loved the original game and played it on PS1 as well as on PC back in the days. I got this one very cheap off GOG (damn them and their sales...), since I hoped the remake would be even better and unlike many others in the review section I really enjoyed the added scenes. We get to play as Nico and it sheds some light on the background story and we get to see scenes that we couldn't see before simply because George wasn't present. But also people who don't like remakes get good value for their money as they can simply chose to play the orignal game. That way, everybody get's happy. Well done, GOG!
