But there are those enormously lengthy chats to come to terms with. Personally, although I'd usually run a mile at the mention of an interactive movie, I found Broken Sword drawing me in after a while. Just sitting back and going with the plot can have its own attractions.
But the conversations can be tedious and disjointed at times, and if you really don't like that kind of approach, I'd steer well clear. Umberto Eco has a lot to answer for.
More than six years ago he wrote Foucault's Pendulum, a sprawling, engrossing novel about conspiracy theorists, practical jokers, the Knights Templar previously thought to be some kind of soap and their modern day acolytes. And before you can say "there's a game in there somewhere", we're inundated with games that bear more than a passing resemblance to certain elements of the plot.
Well, alright, at six years, it took a bit longer than that - but it's a thick book. Now we have Broken Sword. Broken Sword scores well with its Umberto Factor, including as it does some Paris bits, some underground bits in the form of the Parisian sewer system and a quest for the Templars' goodies. Now that I've played the game, I want to know more! And that's what's cool about the game. You can't help but get drawn into the complex and twisting plot, the characters you meet up with and the bad guys you're after.
Needless to say, the story line is excellent, but that's not the only thing that's cool about Broken Sword. The graphics are really nice-they totally look like something from a Don Bluth cartoon and are animated just as well, too.
The backgrounds are also nicely drawn. One thing about the graphics that I notice is that at times some of the detail is lost, especially in the item bar and certain objects that you must interact with. On the flip side, the item bar itself and all of the Menu Screens in the game are really easy to use. Of course, what makes it user-friendly is the mouse. If you're into games like this, buy the PS mouse especially for Broken Sword.
On the dialogue end of things, the game has quite a unique cast, full of different voices. Don't expect all of the voice acting to be flaw-less-or at least all of the accents to be accurate is that French or Russian?
Whatever the accent, there's plenty of humor that'll have you rollin'. The biggest flaw is the load time. Soon, their goal will be not only to find the murderer and the thief, but also to unravel the terrible mystery of the 'Curse of the Serpent' imposed by the Demon.
They will add answers with the help of stubbornness, ingenuity and a sense of humor. They will have to do anything to save the planet from a global catastrophe.
