3.0 out of 5 stars Great For the Occassional Gamer., January 4, 2006

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon (Video Game)
I don't really consider myself to be a gamer. I enjoy playing video games and having grown up with a joystick and playing Atari games, I've gotten decent at using the multifunctional controller. Still I am anything but an expert. Also, I enjoy playing games that have a storyline that goes with them (even in video games, story is all). Therefore, from the perspective of an amatuer video game player who enjoys playing games that have a good story, I found BROKEN SWORD: THE SLEEPING DRAGON to be quite enjoyable and entertaining.

The plot of the game revolves around a conspiracy that is collecting ancient artifacts to release an evil power in which they hope to control the world. The two main characters of the game are George Stobbart and Nico Collard (apparently they have appeared together in two previous installations of this series). George is kind of an adventurer/archeologist and Nico is a reporter. In attempting to unravel the mystery surrounding the "Voynich Manuscript" the game takes the pair from the jungles of the Congo, to castles in Prague, to the streets of Paris, and the historic English village of Glastonbury. Along the way they meet several interesting characters that both help and hinder their progress to keep the Sleeping Dragon from awakening.

BROKEN SWORD: THE SLEEPING DRAGON is an easy game to play. The game is very user friendly. It contains several puzzles that one must solve, but with a little bit of common sense and some extra thought, most are quite easily solved. I was able to beat the game in a couple of evenings.

The only major drawbacks of the game is that it takes an incredibly long time to load up between scenes. Also, unlike some adventure games, once you've beaten this game, there isn't anything to go back and play again.

Expert gamers might find this game rather dull and could probably beat the game in a few hours. However, for those who haven't played many video games and like a good story, this is a game that they might enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good adventure game. Good graphics. Long load times, February 17, 2004
This review is from: Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon (Video Game)
This is the 3rd title in the Broken Sword series and the first Xbox offering in the batch.

There is much discussion about the value of directed gaming vs a completely open environment. Each has it's plusses. While the open environments may be more fun for exploring, the games are usually much much harder as it can be more difficult to figure out what happens next and how to acheive it.

In this title -- at least on the xbox -- you are locked into a chapter until you solve the puzzle. For the common guy who who isn't a rocket surgeon and likes an occasional adventure game, this is a good thing.

Also different for this title are the reaction events. There are a number of scenes based on reaction time. This was a nice addition to the standard adventure game framework.

The camera moves are definitely cinematic which is fun as is the dramatic music that plays at critical points in each chapter. The dialogue is generally amusing and well (voice) acted.

Small warts:
- long chapter load times
- camera location changes between scenes which makes movement a little strange.
- no replay value

I don't think this title is worth the higher "new release" price. IMHO: buy used or wait for the price to come down to the common 2nd tier title price range.
