- Rating:9.5
A Knights Templar tale at its wisecracking best.
Adventure games have barely changed since the inception of the genre in the early 80's. From the text adventures as early as Zork to today's fanciful graphical adventures, the lack of evolutionary progress can be critiq... Read Full Review

It was a good game to start out, but got boring by the end.
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars- Director's Cut (DS) has a good story line and is very creative in some of the puzzles. However, toward the middle to the end, I started getting bored and was just ready to get to the... Read Full Review

A decent adventure
Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for this game. Looking at screenshots before getting it, I found myself not getting overly excited. I started playing the game, and I actually enjoyed it at first. It was mysterious eno... Read Full Review

Great graphic adventure, poor conversion.
What more can I say... oh, okay... Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars, also known on the PC as The Circle of Blood. An early graphic point-and-click type adventure which, for the time, had a very innovative and... Read Full Review

A PC Classic brought Into your Living room: Innovative, Brilliant, & All Around Funny Entertainment for Everyone.
I must admit that at first glance I scoffed at the thought of a classic PC game being anything remotely correct or entertaining ported to the Wii. I was wrong! Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars stole my attention an... Read Full Review

Take an original story, add some unique characters, throw in a splash of comic humour, and you have yourself a classic!
Circle of Blood is the best adventure game I've played to-date. It has a life all of its own, makes you want to keep playing, and rarely gets annoying. Let me elucidate. Enter George Stobbart. Just an average guy, on ... Read Full Review

Interesting story with humerous send ups of point and click conventions beautifully presented
I enjoyed The Secret of Monkey Island when it came out so I wish I had known about Broken Sword as it has many similarities. Coming to it many years after its release it took time to get used to the point and click conve... Read Full Review

A point-and-click adventure, reminiscent of the old days.
Well, this is a pretty nice point and click adventure, but I'd hesitate to call it a game. It's really more of an interactive story than anything else but it's good at what it does. Ubisoft has published another game... Read Full Review
