I have recently made my next review for Gamerspot and it is for Broken Sword. I am not promising a translation since I am very bussy at the moment playing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> in order to write a review for it. But have a look anyway. When I find some time I will try to translate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Here is a translation done with Babelfish


Broken Sword-The Sleeping Dragon: After waiting e'xi of years it is here!

The history begins in 1996 when it circulated the first game of line titled Broken Sword-Circle of Blood for America and Broken Sword-Shadow of the Templars for Europe. It was for adventure marriage with graphic that they reminded kartoy'n, with original script, intelligent puzzles and a lot of humour. In this we met for first time the George and kallj'grammi French fjlena'da the Nico. In 1997 followed sequel titled Broken Sword-The Smoking Mirror with the same success. And after waiting e'xi of entire years, the third part of line is anymore in our hands. The poly'hroni this waiting however as it appears, deserved the labour. The transport of 2D graphic in 3D, makes if not what the other game resemble with kalogyrjsme'ni film and this appears from the beginning of game. The live colours, the expressive characters, and the in detail environment he is certain from the characteristics that you pull from the first moment in this game.

After a dark and mysterious preface, you meet the known anymore hero of game George Stobbart it flies in a plane above the jungle of Congo, kacw's is heard a splendid orhistjko' song which creates incredible atmosphere. With the wisely chosen corners in ka'meres, you feel that you find itself in cinematographic room kacw's begins this her incredible adventure


The handling of game is simple but has been added a lot of things which it can make your character, so the Sleeping Dragon is not one still adventure in which simply you move your hero back and forth. Thus you can make the George and his Nico fjlena'da, they run, skarfalw'soyn, they jump or from the keyboard or from gamepad (contrary to the two precedents games that were point and click). With arrow keys you move your character. Spacebar it opens and it closes inventory your while you can scrolla'rete in this with arrow keys or with Ice Up/Down. With shift you can run also with left winger control you can be drawn. With the Esc you make pause of game or turn in central menoy'.

Each time where you will find itself in point that it will require a concrete movement, small ejkonj'dja you they will guide and you they will show the available choices. Exist 4 circles under right in your screen which correspond in energies which you can select. For example, when you find itself front in a telephone, you can him examine, hear if exist messages in the operator, or telephone. At some way the game reminds sometimes third person action adventure but much easier in his handling and much more accessible. Simply you step the choice jump in some region where she is available as choice and the game it handles the rests. Thus you do not have no fear gkremotsakjstej'te nowhere.

In the game it should you face a synomwsj'a that threatens it destroys planet and you clear up a mysterious murder travelling from Congo in Paris, Prague and other fascinating parts. The bad type of affair, some mysterious Susarro plays with the meteorological phenomena in entire the ground and the George, lawyer from the Idaho trips above in his drawings kacw's it has it goes to Congo it meets a investor. Simultaneously, hacker from Paris it accomplishes apokryptografi'sej one concealed handwritten, but dolofonej'taj little before the Nico Collard, French journalist, him meets for a interview. Instead of the interview finally the Nico finds itself suddenly mixed in the affair of his murder.

The game is transported by the George in the Nico and reversely very smoothly and finally these two old friends links for one more time their forces in order to they fight the villain that threatens it destroys the world. As in the previous games of line, thus and in this kacw's it is unfolded the script you will worship the kalogramme'noys and intelligent dialogues and the incredible characters that parelay'noyn in in the game. The history is full from astej'es, dramatic, but also sygkjnitjke's moments. Puzzles the game they are most interesting and relatively easy with certain exceptions where him you will find dark but in general lines it is a very friendly game even for the new players of type.

The actors that incarnate the heroes are really very good and they are not limited simply in a simple, tempe'ljki reading of their texts but actually "they play" their role and they appear him they are thanked. Exist certain problems in the sound but are without fail for bug that easily can be corrected with patch.

Be armed therefore with courage and begin the big adventure of! $ of $ of l n The game circulates in publication on PC, XBOX and Playstation2

@ Goldy thnx so much!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

Here I will add the words that are missing :

Broken Sword-The Sleeping Dragon: After waiting of six years it is here!

The history begins in 1996 when it circulated the first game of line titled Broken Sword-Circle of Blood for America and Broken Sword-Shadow of the Templars for Europe. It was for adventure marriage with graphic that they reminded cartoon, with original script, intelligent puzzles and a lot of humour. In this we met for first the time George and his well shaped French girlfriend Nico. In 1997 followed sequel titled Broken Sword-The Smoking Mirror with the same success. And after waiting of six entire years, the third part of line is anymore in our hands. The long years waiting however as it appears, deserved the labour. The transport of 2D graphic in 3D, makes if not what the other game resemble with well done film and this appears from the beginning of game. The live colours, the expressive characters, and the in detail environment is certain some from the characteristics that you pull from the first moment in this game.

After a dark and mysterious preface, you meet the known anymore hero of game George Stobbart it flies in a plane above the jungle of Congo, while is heard a splendid orchestral song which creates incredible atmosphere. With the wisely chosen corners in camera, you feel that you find itself in cinematographic room while this incredible adventure begins


The handling of game is simple but has been added a lot of things which your char. can performe, so the Sleeping Dragon is not one still adventure in which simply you move your hero back and forth. Thus you can make George and his friend Nico to run, climp, jump either from the keyboard or from the gamepad (contrary to the two precedents games that were point and click). With arrow keys you move your character. Spacebar it opens and it closes inventory your while you can scroll in this with arrow keys or with page Up/Down. With shift you can run also with left winger control you can be drawn. With the Esc you make pause of game or turn in main menu.

Each time where you will find yourself in a point that it will require a concrete movement, small icons will guide and you they will show the available choices. Exist 4 circles under right in your screen which correspond in actions which you can select. For example, when you find youself infront of a telephone, you can examine it, hear if exist messages in the operator, or telephone. At some way the game reminds sometimes third person action adventure but much easier in his handling and much more accessible. Simply you step the choice jump in some region where is available as choice and the game it handles the rests. Thus you do not have no fear fall down nowhere.

In the game you face a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the planet and you clear up a mysterious murder travelling from Congo in Paris, Prague and other fascinating parts. The bad type of affair, some mysterious Susarro plays with the meteorological phenomena in entire the ground and George, lawyer from the Idaho trips above in his drawings while he goes to Congo to meet an investor. Simultaneously, hacker from Paris it accomplishes translation of concealed manuscript, but he is murdered little before Nico Collard, French journalist, meets him for an interview. Instead of the interview finally Nico finds herself suddenly mixed in the affair of his murder.

The game is transported by George in Nico and reversely very smoothly and finally these two old friends link for one more time their forces in order to fight the villain that threatens to destroy the world. As in the previous games of line, thus and in this while the script is unfolded you will worship the well written and intelligent dialogues and the incredible characters that parade in in the game. The history is full from funny, dramatic, but also to moving moments. The puzzles of the game are most interesting and relatively easy with certain exceptions where you will "swim in deep water" but in general lines it is a very friendly game even for the new players of type.

The actors that incarnate the heroes are really very good and they are not limited just in a simple, lazy reading of their texts but actually "they play" their role and they appear to enjoy it. Exist certain problems in the sound but are without fail for bug that easily can be corrected with patch.

Be armed therefore with courage and begin the big adventure! The game circulates in publication on PC, XBOX and Playstation2


I gave a straight 8 but it would be more if the game was not so expensive and had small replay value. And for the bugs in the sound.

Goldy once more I thank you very much!
