I bought Broken Sword 2 before I bought 1 and 3, and I must say it is one of the strongest titles in the series. A lot of people are critisizing the length of the game but I have to say to fit the story it is the perfect length. I also really enjoyed the monkey island 3 style graphics and the humour. In summary, a great game for broken sword fans and adventure fans alike! Oh, and make sure you check out the reference to Beneath a Steel Sky in the subway part while playing as Niko!
