agreed, the first was the best, and went steadily downhill when it went 3D. i thought the 2nd did Shadow Of The Templars (1st) justice even though it wasnt as good as it.crimson_grunt wrote:
yep I've got the first 3 and played the demo of the 4th but haven't got around to buying it yet. All excellent games but its a shame they cant live up the the perfection of the first broken sword.
Similar styles of games play but quite different styles to the lucasarts games. I struggle to explain it but it less about comedy stories and more about combining elaborate historical mysteries with a modern day crime story with an added hint of mythology and humour.mkxiii wrote:

thats a great way of putting it, the other games dont really worry to much about historical accuracy but Broken Sword adds another dimension which can be found as very interesting which is attempting to make the storylines link to historical events and have all the information correct. The element of homour for Broken Sword is very much a tongue in cheek, sarcastic view of the proceedings as opposed to the more slapstick and cruder homour of the Monkey Island seriescrimson_grunt wrote:
