This game is a bit too complex for me, I like the complexity of RA2, or other simple RTS games. I use to manage to win only naval wars since the ships are simple compared to land armies. So if you like complex RTS games, this is quite fun. One of my most favorite features is the cooperative styled multiplayer where more player can give orders to the same nation, sharing the tasks is quite fun. I liked to care the financial tasks while my buddy did the complex stuff with all the different kinds of soldiers, cavalry and artillery.
The original game was one of the first games with context sensitive music: turn it on, and feel like a classic adventure movie with conspiracy, secrets, and verbal humor. The remastered edition is great for those who already played the original, the new puzzles are just acceptable, but the background information about the story is quite nice.
I've played this game for ~5 screens, and I'm not interested enough to play more. If you know these all-the-same point-and-click titles (like that Poirot/Sherlock Holmes games where you have to solve puzzles just to pass somebody at the market who do not intentionally blocks your way), so this game is one of them. But if you like Tunguska/Syberia style, this may be your choice among Broken swords. If you prefer Lucasarts style, go for BS1 and BS2.
