I couldn’t believe it when I opened today’s newspaper advertisements. Finally there is a new part of “The Broken Sword” available! This would be the 4th part of the computer game whose part 1 fascinated me a lot 10 years ago.

However the following parts were a harsh disappointment. Well, let’s see how the new part of this adventure-game is. Unfortunately the 3D characters from the 3rd part are still existent and any similarity with the characters from the previous parts is gone.

Some developers, however, created an unofficial version 2.5. A demo can be downloaded at http://www.baphometsfluch25.de/. The actors from the first 2 parts who borrowed their voices for the game’s characters even renounced to get paid.

To be honest, I am more looking forwards to the unofficial version than two play the 4th part (“The Angel of Death”) in a few years when it costs only a quarter of the €44!
