| Despite the ominous-sounding title, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is actually a colourfully animated adventure game that casts you as an American tourist vacationing in Paris. |
| But don't let cartoonish graphics fool you into thinking this is kiddie fare, as the game opens with a malevolent-looking clown bombing a café where you're sitting, leaving a man dead and many questions unanswered. Fancying himself to be a better detective than the local authorities, your nosy tourist dives headfirst into mystery and intrigue, hot on the trail of the killer clown. | | Broken Sword uses a basic point-and-click interface, where moving a pointer around various onscreen hot spots allows different actions to be performed. | | Broken Swordis a great adventure game. Crisp graphics, smooth animation, and brilliant voice acting help further the game's quirky plot and although it doesn't have the laugh-out-loud moments of Monkey Island , this is a classic among adventure games and well worth at trying out on budget |
