Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror Reviews
| 48 of 50 people found the following review helpful  A fun worldwide hunt, 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...

Adventure game., By 10catz (Houston or Moscow, depending on the time of the month) - See all my reviews = Fun: 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...

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"...
