- Best Adventure on the GBA
I was dubious about an adventure game on the gameboy. Don't they belong on PC's where you have keyboards and mice and things? obviously not!. This was the start (for me) of a long love affair with the Broken Sword games - until the one on the xbox that made me motion sick (but thats another story!). It works really well on the small screen and kept me absorbed for hours...yes hours not days as sadly it was over much too soon. But it was worth every second. A great little game, nice story, controls work well but sometimes make things a little too easy (on a PC you might have to click around on EVERYTHING on the screen to find the item you can use whereas on the GBA it was a bit easier as there were less items you could interact with). Obviously i am writing this retrospectively as this is a very old game but i felt it earnt my review as one of the best adventure games on the GBA!.

I wish i could go back through time to when games like this where still made..the 90's was the golden age for playstation 1 and games in general...timeless games like this and discworld fill me with such a happy feeling i can not describe which i havent felt since super nintendo days..i can still play these timeless games as it being cartoon 2D and it will not ever age...EVER...and still be lost in a timeless world..i wish i could get amnesia and forget what to do in these games as these games have crap replay value for a person with a extremely good memory,(><)i aint even going to start with a review and wreck these games for you..just get them along with discworld 1 and 2 and get lost in a whole different dimension..truly awsome games that are not made anymore which is such a shame..

Rating: - Surprisingly Accomplished Conversion
'Broken Sword' is one of the most famous and well-loved of point-and-click adventures, notable not only for its intriguing plot and well-designed puzzles, but also its very dry, very 'British' sense of humour. Happily, and incredibly, this conversion to the Gameboy Advance loses almost nothing from the PC/Playstation versions. The graphics are amazing for a handheld machine, the controls are simple and quickly become intuitive, and nothing is missing except the voices which, due to the hardware limitations, are replaced by on-screen text. The game itself is naturally as playable and enjoyable as it ever was, and I'm glad to see the more 'suggestive' humour is still present and correct. The only real faults with this game are due to the GBA itself, not the software; the screen size can make it difficult to identify tiny background details in some scenes, although a click of the shoulder buttons will reveal potential items of interest, negating this problem. Plus, as always, the diabolical GBA screen is so dark! With a game like this, you really REALLY need a light peripheral - I'd suggest Joytech's Pro Illuminator. If you have never experienced Broken Sword before, please - do NOT miss out on this, especially if you're an older gamer like myself.

Broken sword is a great game with a gripping story line, its is 2 b enjoyed on a more inelectual basis but there is a lot of dry sarchasm to keep the player humoured throughout the game the only flaw of the game i can think of is the fact that it not long enough you are always worryed that it may end 2 fast, the graphics could be better but there detailed enough to show exactly wot is goin on and if the graphics were more detailed then the game wont be as long which wuld definently SUK.
over all this game is a definate must buy as it is to be enjoyed buy all ages
