Video Game Reviews of Broken Sword: Sleeping Dragon
Customer Review: A good addition to the Broken Sword series
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the third in a series of Broken Sword games. However, you do not need to have played the previous games to be able to play this one. The earlier games will simply give you a little bit of the back story of some of the characters and items in Sleeping Dragon. (I do recommend the other Broken Sword games; Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror)
This game follows the same format as the earlier Broken Sword games, but now has better graphics. If you are new to the Broken Sword games, these games are a sort of mystery/suspense adventure where you have to solve the mystery using your brain. (not simply shooting everything that moves) Any serious "action" is usually played out in a video clip. Playing as one of the characters(George Stobbart or Nico Collard) , you investigate the scene, talk to people, pick up clues, and use items to solve different challenges/puzzles that allow you to progress in the game. Probably too slow for the die-hard action/adventure gamer, this game is more of a mental challenge. Think a modern Sherlock Holmes with a nice touch of modern humour.
For those who are familiar with the series, there are very few changes. One interesting change is that after some of the action clips, your character is given a short time (sometimes only 1 second) to respond to what has happened (usually something perilous) If you do not respond quickly enough, your character dies and you must try again. But no worries, you start at the video clip again, and can keep trying until you get it right.
I have only been able to find this game available for the PC platform (The two previous games I mentioned are also available for Playstation and possibly some other game consoles) Because of this, you use the arrow keys to move and the keyboard to perform various actions. It can take some getting used to, but if you are a PC gamer, you should have no problems.
