Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars

"The only real question mark hanging over the game is whether it's worth shelling out £30 for it when you can still pick up the original PC version from Sold Out for under a fiver. Apart from the improved interface the GBA port will apparently include some exclusive "easter eggs" to uncover, but if you don't mind being limited to playing at home you're probably better off hunting down the PC version."

"...if you absolutely must have an adventure game on the go, this is the best there is at the moment."

"...a great work of art on the GBA. Its patience, maturity and depth are some things that I rarely see, if at all, on this platform. True, the title is based on something that was released in the last decade; a long time ago-almost ancient in game terms. In this day and age, where every work seems to be a vapid 3D clone of others, there doesn't seem to be any title that exudes a unique personality or style like the one Templar is able to convey."

"The original game's point and click navigation has been simplified for the Game Boy Advance, giving players better and more direct control over the main character."

"Broken Sword may not be your game. It's there for those who love a good story and some attractive surroundings. It's not difficult or particularly challenging, but it will absolutely hook you."
