Broken Sword 3 was a huge disappointment for most hardcore Broken Sword fans because of the new graphics - but do any of us REALLY care? There's intense drama, a new dark setting and a rather sinister, albeit over-the-top, story. Again George Stobbart is plunged into a mystery that, once again, threatens the world and all it's inhabitants. Broken Sword 3 carries on the normal globe-trotting traditions and difficult puzzles but this time in a completely new 3D engine. Hardcore Broken Sword fans may find this title disappointing and the dozens of "crate puzzles" are a great annoyance, but Revolution has once again given us great characters, settings and stories full of history, mystery and scandal.
Beneath a Steel Sky is a true story, it's a lot more like reading a book than playing a game and that's something I look for in all games. BASS throws you into this Dystopian world as Revolution's most fantastic character, Robert Foster. Be prepared for intrigue, mystery and scandal as you uncover the deep, dark secrets of this dreamworld of a city - where the poor live in the skies, and the rich on the ground, away from the pollution, corruption and crime. While being a perfectly linear and predictable game, Beneath a Steel Sky is really all about the story - and it's a very deep story with an unexpected end.
