Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror

"Broken Sword II is a wonderful throwback to the classic Sierra-style adventure game and is a great adventure for fans of the style. The horrendous loading times that plagued the original have been trimmed a great deal, and the animation runs a whole lot smoother. Still, the game is not for everyone. Earfuls of only semirelevant conversation and the digital pad's inability to properly replicate a mouse make Broken Sword II tedious at times."

"This type of adventure game isn't for everyone. Interaction is accomplished solely with a cursor, and it's a very relaxed, methodic approach to gaming, that might turn more action-oriented fans off."
