This manuscript was made in the 14th century by the order of the Knights Templar and points to where their legendary potential has been hidden for more than 600 years.

I didn’t like this game as much as I thought I would. It was intresting enough but i beat it quickly with only a few problems(the thugs outside the hotel…and the hotel itself). Anyway it wasn’t the worst i’ve played (if you’ve ever played mr.nuts you know what i mean). The graphics were splendid! I wasn’t expecting that much on the graphic side. Anyways if you like sports meeting where you’re fighting constantly then you won’t like this game. Its nicely place together yet it wasn’t as much fun as i thought. It requires a lot of thought; more than i wanted to place into it.
by and large:
Graphics: 10/10
Gameplay: 7/10(no bugs:-) w/ small problems)
Fun:4/10
Storyline:9/10
in my opinion it was honest.

This game is very brilliant.I say this because the graphics come out very excellent and you in Paris on a mission.You have to visit places and talk to people.Some people will give you right information,and some will give fake chief you to traps and distress.One other excellent reason is that the game is probaly be the most well loved game for the GBA.This is also the way most GBA sports meeting should be made instead of very small levels that will get you trapped.The two problems with this game is that some places are too colorful and if you dont go to Syria and go to spain you will find yourself stuck,so you might want to go to Syria before you go to Spain.This game is very cool so you might want to get this game!!

An avid PC point ‘n’ click fan, I was thrilled to find something that had been successfully converted to a GBA game. Reviews spar of decent graphics and splendid transition of the puzzles for which p’n'c-ers are notorious. Sadly, it just didn’t seem so. The graphics and entire gameplay reminded me of a text adventure and the first real puzzle didn’t come about until I was halfway into the game. The only real similarity seemed to be in the use of items in conjunction with the environment. Gameplay wasn’t intuitive as one was given multiple clues at a time, yet expected to follow only a specific one– Both Spain and Syria are mentioned at one point; but, if you choose to hoof it to Spain, the game’s over for you. Syria doesn’t appear on the map, you lose without even the dignity of a “Game Over” screen.
Essentially, “Broken Sword” seems to hold a lot of promise in terms of plot and adventure; but, as a hasty transition to the GBA system, it’s just lost all its glitter.

Out of all of the handheld gaming systems, I didn’t expect the Game Boy Advance to have a PC adventure game ported to it, much less this one.
The renaissance of the experience is somewhat faithful: the controls on the GBA only grant limited input but the developers managed to fit in a number of puzzles and the graphics are incredible, even on the small screen of the GBA.
Colors are vibrant and the game runs smoothly throughout. There are a couple of times I caught myself staring blankly at puzzles (yeah, you’ll be scratching your head on a few). But if you’re an adventure game fan (e.g. Lucasarts’ Monkey Island or Grim Fandango, or Sierra-type sports meeting), consider looking into this one. The Nintendo DS is backwards compatible with GBA sports meeting, so you should still be able to play this on the next Nintendo handheld system.
