I didn't think it was shit, though the ending was a bit wonky.

It started to make less and less sense, as far as I can remember. But i wuvved it for that bit at the beginning where you had to go down the sewer and it was just like the third man. (And I have been down those Vienna sewers and found a decomposing rat...mmmm)

I remember it! I was obsessed with it for a while (though it was somewhat rubbish really) and spent ages searching for broken sword II with no success. Did anyone play that?

Best game in an adventure stylee ever. Some really fiendish puzzles, stunning visuals, intelligent and humorous dialogue, historically accurate plot, eerily atmospheric soudntracks. Beats the crap out of that inane, linear Final Fantasy rubbish.

I too searched for months for Broken Sword II, finally found it purely by accident in a second hand store. Completed it in under a week. Still a good game but not a patch on the original, it left me hungry for more. But it was a nice touch in the sequel that you get to play as both of the main characters. Do they get it on? Now that would be telling....

If anyone wants to "borrow" it, email me offlist.

NO!!!!! Best game in that stylee=Grim Fandango (or anything Lucasarts did) or the Gabriel Knight series. Clearly.
