GAME SUMMARY

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templar's Directors Cut

Rating: 4.7 (199 votes cast)

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars is named by many gamers as their favourite adventure of all time, and by others as their best game ever – particularly amongst core and casual gamers. Testament to the loyalty of the fans are the numerous unofficial websites which are highly active, and the constant stream of emails from fans who are passionate about the series; some even organising a petition to demand that the games appear on DS.

While the Templar back-story was ground-breaking at the time, the subject matter has subsequently become the zeitgeist of mainstream film and literature. This further enhances the relevance of the Broken Sword franchise in a contemporary market, with audiences eager to explore the Templar mysteries.
 
New features

  • The ‘Director’s Cut’ of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars sees the games not only realised on new formats, but also featuring hours of brand new content, making it ideal for newcomers through to die-hard fans. Amongst the changes and additions are the following:
  • In a move that will delight fans and enrich the experience of first-time players, a whole new story arc has been written for Nico. This tale of murder and ancient mysteries provides a wealth of background to the original plot, as well as an emotional and exciting exploration of the hidden secrets in Nico’s family.
  • All new character facial animation, based on work by legendary comic book artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Beneath a Steel Sky), improves the visuals for both versions of the game
  • Puzzles have been adjusted to utilise the unique opportunities made available by the DS and Wii interfaces.
  • An all-new Help System recognises when players are stuck, and prompts them with context-sensitive hints, each beginning with cryptic nudges, and eventually offering clear solutions.
  • A diary for both George and Nico records the events experienced so far, acting as a resource for players needing to remember key details, and enhancing puzzles.

Beautiful, interesting, funny - this game had it all. Also, lots of hours of play, great theme, and fun to travel across the world.

This was one of the first PC games I played, at least, the original version. I loved the story line and the drawings. The director's cut was just as good. But it can also mean, I am just nostalgic. Either way, this still is one of my most favorite games ever.

Point and click adventuring at its finest. This is a great detective story with decent voice acting and a good strong female lead. I really enjoyed the international setting for this game. The artwork was really beautiful. There was one really irritating lock picking mini game about 30 minutes into it that I could have done without though. Apart from that, it was great.

One among the best adventure games, has been remade :) the directors cut version of the game has much smoother graphics and bit of extra story and a few bits that were cut back then. The best part about the directors cut edition i love is that you cant die now :) this makes this awesome adventure game more fun and relaxing to play. Although i wish it had a option to switch the graphics to the classic mode like the newer monkey island games have.

Still its broken sword , a must play if you are an adventure game fan

Really good old-fashioned adventure game, with a modern coat of paint. I haven't played the original, but as far as I could tell the update was done well, without ruining the character of the game or creating jarring seams between old and new. Recommended.

This is a pretty decent game with it's share of a interesting uses for various objects and a few decent jokes here and there. I originally played the demo version of this on the PlayStation. A large difference between the demo and this version is that this version includes a large number more of sequences featuring the female lead Nico Robin. The worst part being that a large number of times that you visit her she has not a single new thing to say.

Having played through the original version a few years back, I can say this game still holds up quite nicely. The graphics are overhauled, the cutscenes are cool. Puzzles are challenging but always logical and fair. Tons on different locations and a good story. I wished they would still make games like this! Definitively a must buy! 5/5

First of all, this is one of the best adventure games out there. Beautiful hand drawn animation and backgrounds. I really liked the soundtrack above all. Engaging story and characters. This game is just great.

This game has to be one of the best adventure games I have ever played. The graphics are really good for the time the original was released. It was easy to tell when I was playing the added scenes, because the graphics were a whole lot different then the rest of the original games graphics. This game is really fun to play. I have to admit that the hint system came in handy for when I was stuck and didn't know what to do to continue playing the game. I am about half way through the game and have played for almost 8 hours.

Broken sword Directors cut is an excellent adaption of the original game. The new content is well made and fits into the story. Some dialogue has been cut but not a large amount. a must buy for adventuregame fans.
