Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars - The Director’s Cut for the DS

Monday, April 6th, 2009

On the lines of the original Broken Sword series, the Broken Sword – shadow of the templars starts low key. The storyline starts with a Parisian Café explosion, multiple homicides and a killer clown. Journalist Nico Collard and the tourist from America George Stobbart are taken through a conspiracy that has a global reach involving murder, ancient and forgotten tombs, relics and secret societies.

This fantastic adventure is as good as an epic. The game combines real world mystery with exciting fantasy to provide an interesting experience to players. Exploration in Broken Sword: Shadows of the Templar is based on cursor movement. Lateral thinking with puzzle solving and interaction with various objects makes this game very intriguing. There is no frantic action as with most of the modern games. Action is methodical and orderly. Focus is based on a lot of trial and errors and conversation is quite heavy. These aspects may not be appealing to many. However, this is one of the best games in this genre which comes with a lot of other exciting and interesting features.

The environment is crafted beautifully. The backdrops are exotic and the puzzle games are integrated with the gameplay beautifully. Added value comes in the form of additional and expanded storyline making this game ideal and suited to modern games. With great visuals and graphics, the Director’s cut provides players with an exciting and entertaining experience on their favourite Nintendo DS. This is definitely a game worth trying out as it shines through in spite of the limitations of the Nintendo hand held.

The crux of the game is based on the hit animated children’s television series Winx Club, broadcast by 4Kids Entertainment, but with an exciting new story mode featuring ten engrossing chapters taken from the series. In the Winx Club tradition, this game is definitely much cuter than most other handheld games on the market, including those from Nintendo’s major competitor the PSP. Gamers can now really indulge themselves as they now have a bigger challenge on their hands in the form of expanded gameplay, and will have to fight their way through the hordes of numerous beasts and monsters that they will encounter during the journey. The culmination of the journey will take place with the destruction of the evil chieftain, Lord Baltor. You have a colourful range of powers at your disposal starting from a host of magical moves and spectacular spells. Gamers are in for some luck as they can benefit from the six new supplementary mini-games included alongside the main game, and includes puzzles to dance to action.

Players will have very little to complain as the game is replete with hundreds of unlockable pictures, videos and songs from both the American and European versions of the television show. The excitement level is further fuelled by an imaginative soundrack that is perfectly synchronised to complement the mood of the game.
