Guide Nicko and George as they unravel the dark mysteries that lead them closer and closer to ancient horror best left buried in the steamy jungles of Central America. Gather clues and make friends but beware- a smiling face can hide a deadly obstacle in your quest to stop return of “he who devours the sun and consumes the flesh of all mankind”, the Mayan God Tezcatlipoca.
Enter the world of adventure, The Smoking Mirror - the sequel to Circle of Blood and the second game in the Broken Sword series.
A better remastered version compared to the first remastered title, but still not enough for me.
The style of this point and click adventure is more in the theme of the Monkey Islands games with some weird puzzles, bizzarre characters and situations and so on. So it's less "serious" compared the previous title.
4 stars for the adventure
-2 stars for a poorly remaster.

It's been a long time since I've played a point and click adventure game, so I picked this one up. I'm sad to say that it's a game best left in the past. There's actually no problem with the game, which works wonderfully and looks quite good for a game of its age. Pick this up if you're a fan of point and click adventures, otherwise let it lie.
