    This was a good but buggy game when it debuted, but patches (including internet play) have made it a late bloomer. Fun to go through, but beware the adult themes and situations.

    Great for the price. Be sure to download all current patches beofre you play the first time, as patching erases all saved games.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great game, but has some SiNs, June 13, 2000

    This is a great game with good graphics but has some flaws. This game has some great moments, for instance the moment when your in a helicopter controlling a machine gun shooting people on rooftops, and thats only one of them. But there are some SiNs. For instance there is the 1 gb installation, and some brain-dead opponents, but there are very few others. Overall this is a great game, but has some flaws.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining game with a few flaws., May 5, 2001

    This review is from: Sin (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
    There are many faults with this game. The graphics look pretty bad at times, there a quite a few bugs even when the game has been patched twice. The "movies" are a bit tacky and it ain't that original. But, unlike a lot of other games out there, it is SO ... fun to play. There's none of this "we're gonna take ourselves seriously" ... It's intentionally cheesy and gung-ho in places, and the plot unravals bit by bit like some American action movie starring Arnold Swartzeneggar. I won't ruin the plot, but the game has been left for a sequal, and even Half-Life was unable to give such a good ending.

    Make no mistake, SiN has its faults. You can get hurt by a little mouse attacking you! But after owning it since it was first released I have only just bothered to complete it, and I felt that I had to review it. The level design is far beyond many games out there now, and although some levels don't have a large amount of replayability, some levels are really cool. It may... Read more

      4.0 out of 5 stars A fun worldwide hunt, May 3, 2000
      By 
      Genesis Whitmore (Goldenrod, FL USA) - See all my reviews
      This review is from: Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror (CD-ROM)
      This game is actually a sequel to 'Circle of Blood' and continues the adventures of George Stobard and his girlfriend Nico. Like its previous game the animation and artwork is excellent and the game makes you think hard in a lot of places.

      That said, parents... be careful getting this game for young children. There's some blood and a couple of gory scenes (The game focuses on an Aztek theme, and we all know how Azteks sacrificed people).

      It's best to consider Smoking Mirror as sort of a murder/mystery. You CAN die in this game, but not for doing things like clicking one pixel too far off the edge of a cliff. The art in the game is high quality animation and it's obvious that the crew that worked on it cared about what they were doing.

      The game works hard to keep your interest though. One moment you're wandering through the subways of London and another you're hacking through the jungles of Brazil. Another cool side aspect is that the two main characters often... Read more

      5.0 out of 5 stars Great sequel. Adventure game., January 26, 2006

      = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
      This review is from: Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror (CD-ROM)
      This game is a sequel to Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars. (One of the reviewers mentioned that is it a sequel to the Cold Blood, but I'm pretty sure it's the Shadow of the Templars).

      By itself, the game is great. It features the same characters - George and Nicole. In the beginning, George finds out that Nicole was kidnapped, then he learns that the whole world is in danger and he, again, is the only one who can save it. Throughout the game you will find George wandering the London subway (with a ghost), going to the Caribbeans, visiting the jungles, getting stuck in jail, getting involved with shooting a movie, and so much more!
      The graphics are the same as in the first game: 2-D cartoon-like animation.

      Compared to the original, I find The Smoking Mirrors inferior - I guess the story is not AS thrilling and the game is not AS charming, but by itself, as I already said, it is a great one. Lots of challenges, capability of dying in the game, great... Read more

      4.0 out of 5 stars Awww, What Can I Say...?, April 8, 2007
      = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
      This review is from: Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror (CD-ROM)
      I'm a stickler for this kinda game.

      I was lucky to find it at all, really. Went to a homeschooler's convention, and was rooting around in an old, discount, PC, game bin. You never know what you might find in these kind of places, so I had a go at it... and found this weird lookin' game called "Broken Sword:The Smoking Mirror" with a picture on the front of some skull...? Reading the back, I found myself intruiged. Only five bucks, I pressed my mom into getting it.

      Boy. Was I lucky.

      The beginning cinema was kinda funny looking, and I wasn't impressed. Basic beginning: boy and girl go to house, "butler" drugs girl, leaves boy stranded in a burning house with a tarantula advancing on the poor lad, tied to a chair. Ok, pretty basic.

      Then I started getting farther into the game. From the quirky characters... a priest who refuses to visit a native tribe because he'd partaken in "the monkey dance"... O_O... and let's not forget the lackwit son of a... Read more
