Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
 

Hello

I just bought this game for £6. Is it any good?

Is it like the previous 2 in anyway?

Thanks for any feedback

I bought it 2nd hand for Xbox, I was instantly addicted, some of the puzzles are quite difficult to figure out, but it was worth the 2 weeks I invested in completing it.

Forgive me, but this seems like a bizarre enquiry - why not install the game, play it and see what you think? :)

For what it's worth, I don't think the game was very well received by critics and didn't get very good reviews. It was okay, just not good.

Same for monkey island 4 to though and it was a good game

I only have the XBox version...It was ok but some of the puzzles followed too similar a direction.Namely along the lines of boxes.I also had a bug with the voice section at the final scene which was annoying.

However I'd say it was better than all the FPS and RGP's put together.Mainly because I can't play them. :D ;)

If you like a purely puzzle game then try it.At that price what have you got to lose? :shrug:

Oh and if you finished MI4 you are a better person than I.I never could get the hang of the monkey insult game and so never could complete it.. :( Why the fecking hell Lucas Arts had to put an action scene in at the end of a puzzle game to complete it has completely p*ssed me off.Same with the last Simon the Sorceror game which was all action and buggy as hell. :mad:

If this is your taste "The Watchmaker" and "The Case of the Silver Earring" are in a similar vein and should be on the bargain shelves. There does seem to be a shortage of this type of game these days! :(

Yes i was looking at the watchmaker and just ordered it for £7 including delivery.

Broken Sword 4 - has been announced also! Out next year i believe, should be good! As for Broken Sword 3 - i thought it was a good game, good to see the adventure games being continued - as the classic lucasarts adventure games are some of the best games I've ever played, i think grim fandango had to be my favourite!

Also Fahrenheit is due out on the 9th of September, more of a thriller adventure but looks set to be good, gives you a lot more choice and every decision has an effect, which gives the game a new dimension in some ways!
