Broken Sword 2: Remastered App Reviews

I love the first one, Ive played it when it came out on PC 15 years ago(when it was called "Circle of Blood"), again when it came out on Wii about 5 years ago and I bought it yet a third time for iPad and the iPad version is the best. When I saw the sequel I did not hesitate to purchase and play immediately. Much like the first one I could bring my self to stop playing, I love the characters and story and the puzzles are pretty fun. But it doesnt hold up to the first one, and it kind of fizzles out at the end of "Smoking Mirror" the end video doesnt wrap things up very well and is not that rewarding. Still, Im a junkie for point-click and until they release the Lucasarts original adventures "Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" Ill chalk this up to about a B, B+. Thanks for the game it was a lot of fun.

Id have to say, this is one of my most favorite apps of all time. Its pretty long with diverse locations and scenes, so its very worth the price. And unlike other games Ive played, they dont spoon-feed what youre supposed to do next. This game is definitely not the fly-through type, which I look for in these types of games (click adventure). I feel like this isnt as popular as it should be, which is surprising! Im very surely going to buy Revolutions other games :)

This game is truly applaudable if you like adventure point and click games this has to be one of the greatest made the story is fluid and very enjoyable controls are perfect and they even have in game hints to help when you get stuck from the beautiful graphics to the accents of the characters this game is outstanding perfection

"Youd think shed bin truckin half her life!" Really?

Great game. Awesome to see it on the App Store.

I loved both chapters of the Dragon Sword series. Cant wait to play the third one!

This game is sooo addicting! I bought 2 of them, and I wish there were more:(

Love this series. The point and click gameplay style make it perfect for the Iphone or iPad. The storytelling is very amusing and makes you feel like a detective. Its sort of like playing an actual mystery book youve been reading.

Better than the first which was already amazing.Also a third one is coming out VERY soon for ios.

Tedious storyline and terrible graphics. Bad puzzles, painful movement, unamusing conversations. Its seriously much worse than the first broken sword.

Smoking mirror has none of the puzzles and ingenuity that made the first Broken Sword so enjoyable. The mechanics are basically the same (except now you can die) and the humor is still there, but gone is the epic sense of adventure. Puzzles have been replaced with completely unintuitive, hint-heavy enigmas. Where Broken Sword 1 was like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Broken Sword 2 is like an arbitrary episode of Scooby-Doo. Skip this one and go straight to Broken Sword 5.

Maybe the game single star review is not an appropriate way to deal with this, but absent any other feedback mechanism its going to have to do. You are the beginning of the game George is speaking with a retired police officer. When the police officer is listing the kind of awful crimes that he could help solve, he says "if hed been a serial killer or a sodomite, I could help". Listing those has two of the crimes he could help fight. It seems to me that by 2014 game producers could stop referring to sodomites as criminals. And because the game is in a contemporary setting, they cant even say that they were addressing terminology of "the time".

broken swords series is amazing adventures games, art and music, all fine ps: plz fix icon name, brokenswrd2, need add "o", like new brokensword5

Just as great as the first Broken Sword game. A blast from the past since this game was made in 1996, still fun in 2014.

After playing the original BrokenSword game, I was quite impressed, because it was fun, interactive and relaxing. Generally its just hard to find adventure games that are bright and cheerful, since most are gloomy and dark. But this time I found the controls for interactive elements were obscure simple due to poor button layout and action choices are often lacking in logic. So you end up getting stuck for worthless reasons. Also, while enjoy the conversations with characters, the game sometimes feels like you are most just listening to people talk the whole time. Buy I must say what helps this game is the good voiceovers. Every game should have them. Now, on to the part that got me to the point of deleting the game: major sacrilege and other racial/political stereotypes. Along the way, almost everyone you meet is like a stereotype portrayed on Hollywood media, from accents, to attitude, body types and back stories. Its cheesy and would probably offend everyone else on some degree other than leftist Americans. You know, Ive played many games and never ever had this kind of problems and never felt there was an agenda behind a game. But this one felt like the creator just set out to demean and misrepresent Christians. First, they show a missionary priest completely indifferent to a woman dying, so spoiled and superficial he wont go help save her because his collar wasnt pressed; he was shown sitting around playing church music and explaining how he basically abandoned his five children because he basically slept with women of the local tribe while in a trance brought on by engaging in a strange "monkey dance." Apparently he is so vainglorious and terrible that he just abandoned the women and the children. Then, the main character moves on to a pirates mansion. Apparently, this was a pirate who named their pirate ship after Jesus and did all kinds of evil. The main character never fails to reiterate that their actions was supposedly because they adhered to faith. Im sorry. When did computer games become a platform for Christian-bashing or somebodys personal political agenda? Cant we ever have just one innocent thing that isnt corrupted by politics? Can we just play a simple game and enjoy it without you judging and misrepresenting the truth about a group of people just because you are brain washed by hatred and Hollywood? I deleted your game because it spreads falsehood and hates the truth. I cannot stand by dishonesty. My family has been one that was deeply touched by Christian missionaries. They have built hospitals, schools, taught, healed and encouraged in this country and brought genuine love to so many who didnt even understand the word "love." Many of these believers gave their lives to bettering our communities, and some were even killed. But they never gave up even with all the opposition and hatred. In them we see Jesus. Do not slander whom you do not know. It is just too evil!

I love these types of games!

All the Broken Sword games are great.

This game has a clever and mature edge to it; perfect for those that appreciate a good story, adventure style gameplay, traditional animation, and fun dialogue.

Nostalgia at its best! Love the fact that I can play it on my iPad. Interface is simple and works well.

I love the broken sword games, and hope the rest will be here in App Store...
