Adventure game, in which you will feel like detective, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones and McGaywer.
The whole game is based, on how logical, smart and ingenious you are. There will puzzles and puzzles within the game, that you will need solve. For example, you will have a key and you will put it normally into the lock, but the key will fall out - so you will need a way to somehow hold the key. Simple? No. Or a guy will point a gun to your head and you know, that you will be dead within seconds, if you don`t figure something out. Maybe a pan would protect you?
Well in short, EVERY single thing will help you - even a simple pencil. And the environment will help you great.
Sometimes, you will have to investigate the murder and question people (like detective), sometimes you will need to find certain keys and artifacts, while the enemy will be hot on your tail, have to escape, while the enemy will be shooting at you and try to kill you, solve ancient puzzles, that can cost your life, if are not careful or simply have to knock down the enemy or his weapon (like Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones). Also, in some levels, you will have to sneak in certain building, steal something from others and mix different items, to open something etc. (like McGaywer).
What concerns the graphics and sounds, they have outstanding level of quality, detail, performance, technology and are very interesting for an adventure game. The 3D effects are perfect and beautiful, the ancient room are especially detailed, that shows a work of someone, that has many fresh and interesting ideas. As I`ve said, the sounds are also good - especially from the characters: they look now more emotional and human.
This game has improved a lot over the previous games in the Broken Sword series. It is surely for everyone, that likes adventure and for those that prefer their intelligence over the weapons.
