Video Game Reviews of Broken Sword: Sleeping Dragon (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: Love the graphics
Summary: 5 Stars
After playing and enjoying the first two Broken Sword games, I couldn't resist buying this game to see George and Nico in 3D. The 3D character models and scenery are top notch and that is really is the reason I gave it 5 stars. You even get to revisit a couple of locales where the first game started and seen in 3D they are even better.
Some of the gameplay is a bit painful as most of the puzzles involve getting into locked buildings or getting past armed guards. The first two games were more detective/adventure stories while this one features adventures and puzzles. Solutions to a few of the puzzles eluded me and I had to get hints from uhs-hints.com. I don't like cheating like that and would prefer a few more in-game hints.
The interface is easy to learn but unfortunately there is no option for using a mouse. There are a couple of different setups for the keyboard if you don't like the default but I found happiness with my Logitech Dual Action game pad.
I didn't have any problems installing or running the game except that it was slightly incompatible with my SoundBlaster X-Fi Gamer sound card and I had to set the X-Fi to Entertainment mode to even start the game.
To sum it up, great graphics, characterization, dialog and story, with minor shortcomings like occasionally monotonous break-and-enter puzzles and limitations in the interface and camera control.
