This game was the first in the Broken Sword series that I played, and as many others I was skeptical about it, after trying to play other attempts to bring adventure genre to 3D (like Gabriel Knight 3 or King's Quest 8). However, Broken Sword 4 showed me just what a 3D adventure game should be like. It's perfect. The true spirit of a classic "point-and-click" brought organically into a realistic 3D world. It's very well designed, it's fun, it's atmospheric, and enjoyable all way through. The graphics are surprisingly good, dialogs and voice acting are superb (as usual), and puzzles are pleasantly logical. This game has a special place in my collection and in my heart, and I really hope Revolution makes more 3D games like this. I'm very happy it's finally available for on-line purchase. I might even buy it for the second time, admitting in practice what I always say about Revolution - their games are so good, you want to buy them twice :)
Today it's quite difficult to get immersed into a game that has a resolution of 160 by 200 pixels, but the original Space Quest episodes' story line and humour can still make you forget the world outside, even 25 years since the first one was released. For me these three games are the best keyboard-driven quests, along with Leisure Suit Larry. Games should be fun! And these are entertaining, colorful, relatively easy to play and, well, space travels are so romantic, aren't they. I loved playing the first two on my PDA.
