Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (DS) Reviews

While I was growing up one of my favourite games on the original Playstation was the first Broken Sword game. So when I spotted that they were rereleasing it on the Nintendo DS earlier this year I knew it was a game I had to buy. Rather than just release the same game again they took the original Broken Sword game and created some new levels and ...  Read the complete review

Many companies these days have foud a new and easy way of making money, porting. It's easy, take an old game and port it to a current console and you can sell it to old fans and new players alike. But is it shameless? Are we buying into this knowing full well we're buying the same game that we possibly already own twice? In this case, I'd say ...  Read the complete review

A director's cut for the original I had on the PS1. This is a point and click mystery / adventure game where you have to spot and pick up clues, talk to various characters and use your brain to untangle the mystery behind the story. The story starts in France and you play the part of Nico Collard and Goerge Stobbart, who you switch between at ...  Read the complete review

Absolutely loved it!! My sister brought this game first, and when she told me about it, I had to play it. You play two roles, one of a reporter Nicole, and the other of tourist George. The game is set in France, but you do 'travel' to other countries. It starts off with Nicole who is about the start an interview, when the statesman is ...  Read the complete review

Broken Sword is a great murder mystery game that has been made for many platforms in the past with the most popular being on the PC. The general format of the game is to hunt through the scenes ...  Read the complete review

I was a huge fan of the PC series of broken swords games and was incredibly excited about this coming out on the nintendo DS. I was a little anxious as I had so many nostalgic memories of it, and I was much younger then. Nintendo have left it so long to bring this out that I was worried I wouldnt enjoy that sort of game format anymore, or may find ...  Read the complete review

I'm not really a huge gamer person, but I quite enjoy puzzle and adventure games on the DS (such as Hotel Dusk and Professor Layton etc). My partner bought this for myself and his mum to play (she likes that sort of game too). I was aware that Broken Sword is essentially a remake of an original, and from what my partner tells me, hasn't ...  Read the complete review

I've owned, played, completed and enjoyed all of Revolution Software's games, from their Amiga days, through to their PC releases. When they announced that their new game - Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars - Director's Cut was only available on the Nintendo Wii and DS, there was nothing for it... I had to go out and buy a DS (well, that ...  Read the complete review
