Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon is a great game, although I find it a little too easy for the experienced adventurer (like myself), but since the game is so well made, and it's puzzles can be quite entertaining (moving blocks into position, in order to climb over a wall, aligning crystals so a beam can flow through etc.). The game contains quite a few action elements, but not anything wild, and it's well done (i.e sneaking past guards, while a mate distracts them sort of action).. If you do something wrong in the action parts, you often end up dying (well, always in fact) - but fear not, you will restart just before the action part in a couple of seconds, and often it's just fun to how it would turn out, if you weren't such a hero :) The graphics are amazingly well done, don't expect final fantasy beauty, but it's well compensated for in the very cool virtual actor system, which lets the characters use alot of body language, and especially facial expressions. The controls are good, once you found you way around it. Much like Grim Fandango & The Curse of Monkey Island (4) (tm), but much better in many ways. I have just played from start, eight hours in a row, but ofcourse I have no clue what time I will finish it in - but my guess is, it's far from over.. I understand that they wanted to hit a bigger audience with lowered diffuculty, but I would have like to see some form of diffuculty setting - like in The Secret of Monkey Island 2 (tm) Well done, I'm already looking forward to Broken Sword 4
