Broken Sword 2 is everything a sequel should be and more. All that needs to be different in a sequel to a point and click adventure is the storyline (including location and, when appropriate, atmosphere) and the puzzles. This is what BS2 has done, and it has done it with style! I use the term sequel (this term is used liberally in gaming- Perfect Dark?), although perhaps a more accurate term would be follow-up games, as the plot picks up from 6 months after where Stobbart left us in BS1, and you come across some familiar faces too (I strongly suggest that you finish BS1 before playing this ... more

All that needs to be different in a sequel to a point and click adventure is the storyline (including location and, when appropriate, atmosphere) and the puzzles. This is what BS2 has done, and it has done it with style! The Puzzles are as entertaining and gratifying as ever, only this time around they're much harder.

If you've played BS1 then I ... more

I have never played the first game i only own this game through my boyfriend giving me his playstation when he upgraded to a playstation 2. I am only half way through the game and already i am stuck, i find it hard to do some of the levels as if you dont do the actions in the correct sequence you have to start again. It may be because i'm a girl maybe i cant understand the concept or maybe i played the game for too long. I will need more time to try and understand how to play this game. I just find it very difficult and it isnt one of the best games which i have played even though i dont own ... more
