Classic Game Room HD - BROKEN SWORD: SHADOW OF THE TEMPLARS

[MonakoSM]

This game was so amazing on the PS1 the DS version and even the new animations just don't do it any justice what so ever.

[DeWaltDisney]

God I loved that game, only in France could there be an act of terrorism and only two police officers show up.

So many things coming back to me - Gruber Electronics, setting off the alarm in Museum, Nico telling the story of her grandfather who pretended to smoke a pipe, that creep André, getting kicked by the goat and being squashed underground in Spain

[ShutinSmith]

makes me wanna crack out my broken sword collection, grim fandango, and sam and max games

[Bundyrumowns]

lmao the start of this review made me laugh so much

[RedSniper108]

the directors cut was kinda lame i just beat it...i mean i liked some of the new minigames or the close up on things but still i hated when you go to nicos place george dosent come in he teleports in....and it wasnt just in nicos place...some of the cutscenes where lame too the charathers look like they have been frozen or something... the graphics arent really changed or anything they look the same when you play as george...i played this game to know about nicos past thats all....

[gopen14]

looks like one of the old resident evils without zombies or the creepy atmosphere or a really good storyline.

[DarkLordCookie]

You should really check out the original Broken Sword on the Playstation 1 :) I say this version is far more superior than the DS version, Everything is voiced, no cutscenes text dialogue :) which makes it a very immersive game :) ^_^

Both are great versions of the same game, i just prefer the old skool ps1 version :)

[UrharRar]

lol the state of george BS series is fucked, fuck this shit game, the original BS back in 1996 is the best

[MagisterHamid]

This remake is not as good as the original version. For instance they have censored the game. Cut down on sex and blood and in this version it's not even possible to die :(

[shaunberry1982]

@MagisterHamid I totally agree, Revolution have made some stupid decisions in recent years, I mean it's great they made a directors cut but they did some things to the game that make it shit compared to the original.

One thing I can't stand more than anything is the stupid blue circle highlighter thing that blinks when your near and interactable object. I mean ok maybe modern people aren't that patient anymore, personally I love pixel hunting in point and click, I get all exiceted when I find

[shaunberry1982]

@shaunberry1982 continued:::::> something, they could have atleast gave you the option of turning the thing off. It's on PC now and still it's got that stupid blue flashing circle shit. I just use Scummvm to play the original.

I hope the designers give the fans what they want and make the next one 2D and not 3D, nobody liked the 3D ones hardly. Some games are good in 3D , like Grimfandago which I couldn't imagine 2D but that's because it was 3D to begin with.

[ElegyForTheMasses]

I don't understand his comparison to Dragon's Lair

[lamborgboy]

Play assassins creed instead because you get to kill lot's of templars in a violent way

[stewroo]

i love the reviews you guys do, but don't liken nico and george to some minor sci fi character and a daft cartoon character. These games are incredible and deserve better than a snide comment from someone who'd prefer to be scrolling across a screen in space ship shooter

[MultiSupersniper]

assassin are than templars

assassins creed in better

[Neutral1]

@InecomCompany you make me reconsider the possibility of making my own puzzle game.

[beardobud]

I WOULD RATHER TRADE MY DS IN FOR BROKEN SWORD AND A PLAYSTATION 1 GRAPHICS ON THIS ARE BLURRY AND A MESS SO FAR EVERY DS GAME SUCKS BESIDES MARIO GAMES.

[CpkTunes]

The original version of Broken sword for the ps1 in the 90's looks alot better than this version.. theve redrawn alot of the game and it dosn't have the same rich feel to it looking at this.

[colliric]

@CpkTunes

But it does have a larger plot and nice stylus puzzles.

[colliric]

@CpkTunes

actually it does.. infact it's better than the original release because the plot has been expanded greatly and it uses the Stylus controls brilliantly.

[Diablo44555]

why shes smiling at the dead guy :) must be the brain damge she got from the punch

[TheDingDongDo]

there doing a good job remaking these games with better graphics so far they remade Broken sword 1,Monkey island 1,monkey island 2 and beaneth a steal sky but its only on the iphone. still they should remake all games (P.S. Grim Fandango dosent need to be remade it awesome as it is :) )

[Bidia280795]

I just got this game for my birthday and I am really enjoying it so far, I'd recomend it to anyone who might get bored over the summer!

[ninguemvj]

I had this game on PC. Only thing is I remember it started at the bistrô scene. I might be wrong...hahahaha

Well I want a DS now. Shit there goes my hard earned money.

[colliric]

@ninguemvj

It did, this is the director's cut version with an added plot involving the chick, the DC begins instead with the murder of that old guy while you are playing as Nico, where as the original game began at the Bistro... in fact she kind of becomes the main character in this Director's Cut rerelease.

[ninguemvj]

@colliric

Thanks a lot for the info mate!

I was not going mad after all!

[jaylex666]

Who'd have though such a simple game make In the city of York, UK could have turned into a massive franchise spawning sequels, spin-offs, a possible remake and a film

[popcornflakes]

i have the iphone version which look far way better (voice acting, all touch puzzle games added and not this ugly DS resolution screen ) for only 3 euros...

[CumbachIsACity]

A great game!

This mission with Nico must be in the pc version!!!!

[SENATORPAIN1]

i wonder if hes played the original, you think he would make the observation that the one with speech is clealry better ect

[XACDCXx]

im a great fan of Broken Sword, i own all the games, even Broken Sword 2.5

[robjazz72]

Help I have the Wii version of this game and it looks very similar will this walkthru for the DS work for the Wii

[diddydid]

your voice over work is terrible. why do you stop and start sentances mid flow?

at times its not clear"

its a fucking puzzle game you dolt

[dudebucket60]

does any one know how to get past the lions mouth in spian

[iIIPLATINUMIIi]

ds one is ok but pc version wayyyyyy better

[NIGMAnsider]

"How much vodka did I drink..."

That's gotta be an instant classic. And thanks to Classic Game Room HD, I might end up buying yeat another DS game. Thanks a lot! (5 out of 5).

[Gratrium]

yes this game was awesome i used to play BB2 when i was a kid, but then later i discovered this game, its awesome. Broken Sword rules!

[dudebucket60]

how do you get past the lions mouth in spian

[WLDFLD]

you never played dragon's lair did you

[dyeguy6562]

personally i loved the review and think he has a voice like an angel.

[kfunkdeluxe]

also his voice sounds like air slowly creeping out of a balloon

[kfunkdeluxe]

This review is bullshit......i hate the guy who is doing it. The Broken Sword franchise is amazing. stop with all the guns and explosions talk, a review is supposed to be from someone with a neutral view. the game has been remade on many platforms for many years...and in my opinion worth a play on all of em. dont listen to this dick

[MischievousAlien]

its really a shame that they didnt have voice acting in this version.

[Ruslanafan]

im goping to have wii this year i want this game

[repkhmvkf8o]

ummm this is bullshit the cover of this game made it seem kool but srsly this is bullshit

[TheRealDoctorJest]

Not a fan of the good ol' ScummVM style games? Me? I love 'em. :)

[maxikus920220]

know that there is no voice acting on the DS version and I think thats a big disappointment that one of the things I loved I recommend the original on pc.

[Ruslanafan]

me too i got the 4

[Cyroh6545]

being a big broken sword fan...i think this game is a real disappointment.....

[loner121777]

This game wasn't to bad

[haszK]

Jesus is Lord!!

[GlennPiper]

sorry i had this game i was sadly bord the moment it didnt have voiceovers in the game and it looks terrible as well going up to the characters faces etc.

the original was importantly not so ott and wasnt off the wall like this game is so the humour was funny do you see what i mean?

[shincd]

review the wii version then maybe i would consider getting either one

[JURPO90]

i got that for wii.

[Scarabine]

i own the original and this game looks very different to me :/

[xxCxx2006]

damn...when I was young I playd the game to, but I can't find where to download it

[TheObsessiveGamer]

All the Broken Sword games on the PC were brilliant. I played them when i was young with my mum and my brother. but i am annoyed than i can't find the copies now that i am older but i do have other games like Broken Sword which are great fun. and its sad not to see voice audio in the game =[

[dieterstar]

it looks like proffesor layton

[Kyon]

Seems nothing like professor layton to me.

You move around here, but in professor layton you advance in the chapters to get new places.

But I can see where you're coming from.

[ProgrammerInProgress]

no sound dialogue?, that was one of the best parts of the original, the cheeky inuendos also were funny aswell.

Will probably be a really neat game, but I think the original PC version would be very hard to top, especially without the audio dialogue.

[Lego5614]

lol 2:12 didnt see that coming gave me goosebumps

[TyrantDK]

He sounds like a fucking idiot!

[Kainthemain]

the voice is half the fun

[bugs1yb1ins]

This is NOT Shadow of The Templars. The original SoTT had voice acting and was awesome, lol.

Who played and doesn't remember the gay hotel clerk, Kahn, Rosso, Sergeant Moue, Ultar ("is most luxurious cab driver in the world", LOOOL) or the cop disguised as a cop (the one that talks about "Jacques Sewer")? The original is the best by far.

Btw, there's a joke I never understood, when an Irish guy says that the "prunes" come from California.

Well, the original SoTT was f-awesome.

[wiimancj]

google california prunes

[TECpeds94]

best review of the game and this game looks really hard

[steveskittles]

the fact that there doesnt appear to be voices is one of the biggest issues. Just listening to George's comments about various objects and what not, was a huge HUGE part of the original.

[MrSammysnake]

Classic

[TheBomberman27]

im buyin this game just because of that puch. she got knocked da fuck out.

nearly pissed myself.

[TECpeds94]

u make me laugh nearly pissed myself hahaah it was kinda funny lol

[60cent22]

game look gaylol

[clairefedfield]

why on Earth did she walk up to a random mime at a murder scene? that punch to the face was hilarious though!

[aaron75fy]

@clairefedfield lack of common sense? i know if i stumble onto a murder scene the last thing i'd dois go near the ONLY living being in it

[austix1997]

this is sounding alot like ALONE IN THE DARK

[pokolvrolok]

Way better, believe me.

I haven't played the ds/wii version but it's just a directors cut and I've played the original of this on ps1, computer and gba. It is the most amazing games I've ever ever ever played. Seriously!!

[IrishGodThe4th]

ya the one on ps2 was great too

[pokolvrolok]

Ah yes, the third. :P Great game but it's got nothing on the good old ones. I've actually got that one on pc and ps2! xD

Don't know why, they're exactly the same.

[TheBoondockSamurai]

It dosent look bad for what it is.

[pokolvrolok]

You haven't played it have you.

[kooolkay]

i played the GBA one its good

[pokolvrolok]

It's even better with the voice acting. :P

Try out either the ps1/pc version of the game (if not this version). It's waay more exciting. Then try the second and then third and fourth! lol

[rabendranath]

Oh.. this reminds me of syberia

[ofoosy]

I Rember playing this series on the PS1 called Broken Sword The Smoking Mirror never got far though

[ant1i0n]

I don't like the broken sword games

[applewithoutacause]

damn. no voice acting. i wish developers would start using 256mb cartridges for DS games

[bsilver887]

haha like suikoden...man that game is addictive.

but ive played broken sword, it's worth it, believe me.

im just happy i bought a ds...so many good games. it makes up for the mistake i made in buying a wii.

[macenemmi]

i wish they make grim fandango on the DS...or monkey island...those are the games i really miss...plus this...

[VoidKeeper]

you can always get a Homebrew DS cart and install ScummVM =P

[Amaranthus616]

@macenemmi grim fandango was awesome indeed

[Thisisadummy1]

@macenemmi Fuck consoles, adventure games should be played on the pc.

[colliric]

@Thisisadummy1

not anymore my friend! Pc is the relm of FPS, RTS and RPG(mostly online ones only though) these days.. This is perfect for modern consoles... I think it's on the Wii as well.

[perfecttrunks2000]

haha i love how the mime motions for her to come closer than clocks her!

[mediastarts]

A point and click adventure once featured on gamespot's start/select so the implications showed with the formula

8E32=P23.14 is correct come to my channel.

[Kattykitkat]

Oh, how I WISH they'd make a monkey island for the DS.

[ShinmaRyuu]

Amen! I'd love to see that and the rest of the Lucas games like Maniac Mansion on the Ds. I think you could fit them all on one cart even.

[pinballfortress]

No voice acting, no sale.

[cormack007]

i know wud b alot better with the voice acting

[Terramax]

@pinballfortress

agree. The UMPC version has voice acting, this is not acceptable.

[againstdew]

i remember that clown scene from my ps1 demo disc... I always got scared when i was kid

[kulemv]

great cure for insomnia

[jarmokat]

I love the original on PC

[ryanc519]

nice fluid animations.

[cormack007]

george stobbart he's our man if he can't do it sherlock can !!

[born2bewilddude]

i loved the original

this one looks ok

[Gnomeslair]

A truly fantastic game!

[mot656]

i played this game and just couldn't seem to get into it. everyone says that it's got a good story but imo it was just boring and cliché. but that's just me

[R4Zi3L]

i love the original :)

[thomholliday]

This version of Broken Sword is abysmal :(

And the original was so legendary.

[djriverwind1200]

You made me buy a nintendo DS, but this game, mabye not so much. Youe review of Peggle(or whatever) made me buy a DSI a week ago and im glad that you did! Keep reviewing DSI games and Ill love you that much more!! IM POLISH!!!!!

[lakeb0dom]

lol the term "adventure game" got  replaced by "puzzle game"?

ts ts tsss..kids those days...

[Enthropomorphia]

That intro was GODLIKE! :O

[SubstanceGameCinema]

what, the mimepunch? if so...that was epic

[0mateczko0]

Monster Kill

[newkie2008]

i love the intro :D

[Zepher1990]

best. intro. ever.

[Gamingnight]

u should try missing since january for pc and its sequel evidence the last ritual

[segajin]

wow nice blow in the girl face

[xcrazyman101]

this game is the best game ever nothing bad can really be said about it i say except there is a little bugs depending on ur gaming of choice but other than that good game and thx =D im deff getting it now i played it for the gba but i didnt know it was for DS sweet even better u can play as both characters and find out even more

[GoldsteinsBook]

Oh, yeah. I had this game on PC a while back... Never got the chance to finish it.

[JerryTerrifying]

Oh man I can't believe he just said she looks like Aeon Flux...that's what first popped into my mind at the beginning of the video.

[agenstuall85]

kings quest holy shit that brought back like a avalanche of memories back

[addison12347]

wow.... he has A LOT of games

[swade98]

i know, his game room is like gamer heaven!

[willpwn4cash]

so much better than irate gamer

[HPMainMafia]

i woder if he has the dsi yet.

[theking21083]

The Broken Sword series is one of my favorite adventure game series. It doesn't sound like you are too familiar with the other Broken Sword games, Mark. I have wanted to pick this up for my DS since I first heard about it.

[Torqegood]

At first I was thinking "I played this on...gameboy advance I think..weren't you male though?" Then I saw the second half, it's exactly the same.

[arranmc182]

ah i have played every version of this game its nice to see thay have added new bits to the game for the NDS

[HalfBlindGamer]

Great game, loved the original and those extra animations really look sweet. But for me it isn't complete without the voice work... to bad they couldn't port that over to the DS. Now I'd rather stick to the PC or PSX version instead.

[TDaem0n]

1: Have you've ever heard of a game called Fahrenheit?

2: Do you have to censor yourself by saying "sh1tty"

3: How do you know it's a shitty game when you haven't even played it.

[Kattykitkat]

If you haven't played it you can't judge. I got this after watching this review and I'm actually really enjoying it.

[HappySack2]

So why did you feel the need to say something retarded and unnecessary? and what's with you censoring "shitty" in a half assed way? you obviously aren't a very thoughtful person and your age seems to be highly unsuitable for someone with your special mind, unless your're an idiot...

[HappySack2]

Sure whatever you say you dumb kid, go play with your dolls.

[chupapicosconchetuma]

You said "mobile suit", i knew it! you are a gundam fan.

[ZeldaMaster408]

best job in the world

[capodastaro]

I loved this game as a kid on the PC, I loved the fact you went all over the world, was AWESOME!

[anothergamer007]

great review, i will for sure need to buy this game!

[kimbob5]

I remember plaing the 1st brockn sword ahhhhh gd tyms

[ReeceJones87]

This is, without a doubt, my favourite game of all time.

[Gameslayer0]

I love King's Quest!

[kittytaekwondo]

I like games like these. But for some reason it reminds me of the "escape the room" games that you can find online.

[ddrusa]

DDR

[PilGrimmm]

this is a fucking incredible game

[xxPutnik]

The best adventure game I've ever played. I still remember playing it. That was the golden era of my gaming career. This game had style and charisma. It made me wanna be George Stobbart. The number one game on my list forever.

[tumest]

God I miss Aeon Flux. too bad Peter Chung's creative output is, like, one licensed animation every two years.

[RareAspie]

You can get this game for the PC for less than one pound. I don't know if I could justify buying it on Wii or DS that costs 27 times more.

[ShoobyBugger]

The are really stretching the shelf life of this game, huh?

[ianwilson1978]

I played this on PS1- one of my all time favourite games and franchises!! Ive picked up a mint copy of Broken Sword 2 for PS1 but its the original I want as well! Great games. :-)

[IhaveTubes]

hi im George Stobbart

[AfroedNinja]

Perfect game while sitting on the toilet.. Gives plenty of time to wipe..

Good review!

[Smopiiac]

This game is a classic

[CenturyGamer]

This game was on the DOS..

So awesome.

[RaiCoss]

I had this for Windows 98 ;D

[xbox360andNDSdude]

The beginning punch was hilarious!

Anybody watching Melodi Grandprix? Norway rooles there!

[lemonlimestiv]

i too am reminded of (said below) game

[AndreBmusic]

Great review! Check out Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk: Room 215 if u want more of this kind of games on DS!

[matman125]

Damn, this game doesn't pull any punches!

[ZGalhardo]

Reminds me of Trace Memory

[SonicViewer27]

the mime punch is so addictive!

i keep replaying it!

someone needs to animate that into a gif or something

[Maveroid93]

so its a remake of the first game?

[TheLimbuzzard]

This suprises me, I thought it'd be a port of the PC game

Cool, gonna get this one :P

[awesomepivots]

oth veiw.... dont make fun of me..... I WILL KILLL YOU IN UR SLEEP!

[DantePeeks]

awesome^^

[vraver]

lol right in the face!!!! ^_^

[N4ch007]

hahaha that mime punch at the beginning is amazing

[NoobKing136]

cool

[hrmarinkovic]

1sf jerk, number one idiot

[Smopiiac]

Nobody gives a shit, fuck off.
