Broken Sword 2: Remastered (2010)

a charming little title with good voice acting and some pretty straight-forward puzzles. frustration could come from pixel hunting so always move your mouse over every possible area to find hints, exits or items to interact with. since you can die in the game save now and then and especially in those dangerous situations where armed thugs appear :) I didn't play the first part and didn't know this adventure series and had no trouble getting into the story and the characters. I can recommend it, especially with this low price tag. PS: gog was so nice to put up an better version with better cutscene encoding as you can read on the forum, so re-download if you already got the game.

I'd forgotten how enjoyable these old-style cell-animation games could be. I guess it just serves as a reminder that when you've got a solid story with logical puzzles and no bugs you really don't need much more in the way of flashy technology. Hard to believe this thing's 13 years old - I actually enjoyed it more than the next one in the series. Great game.

An enagaging game but involves a lot more talking as opposed to puzzle solving than I remember upon it's original release. So much so that some parts of the game are just downright boring.

I've just found all the old Broken Sword games, and it feels like a breath of fresh air! Broken Sword two is a good sequal to Broken Sword. It continues with great gameplay, puzzles, story and characters. The Broken Sword series are one of the best adventure games I've played!

As my first Broken Sword game, this game definitely impressed me and certainly made me curious about the other games in the series. One of the best things about this game is the humor. The main character, George, is quite a witty guy, and many of the situations involve humor of some sort. I have to compliment the writing, which was both creative and entertaining. The voice acting was generally strong as well, although at times exaggerated, but that's to be expected to some extent in a humorous game. I usually didn't have too much trouble with the puzzles. At times I had to really think the possibilities over, but that's part of the fun. There were definitely a few times where I did get a bit lost, because a puzzle was somewhat illogical, but overall it wasn't a problem. The story itself was interesting but not thrilling. For me, the characters, writing, humor, and colorful graphics really made the game. I did enjoy the tidbits about the Mayans though. As for GOG's version, I have nothing to compare it to since I've never played the game before, but I had zero problems running it on my computer (Win 7 64-bit) & everything looked great to me. Overall, I have to say I enjoyed this game, primarily for the wit, characters, and writing as I mentioned before. I'd recommend this game if you like more traditional adventure games with a touch of humor. For me, it wasn't amazing or awe-inspiring, but it's a really good little game. So give it a shot!
