‘Broken Sword 2 – the Smoking Mirror: Remastered’ sees the return of George Stobbart and Nico Collard in the sequel to the App Store #1 smash hit ‘Broken Sword 1 – Shadow of the Templars: Director's Cut’, widely praised as the best adventure available for iPhone / iPad.
While investigating a ruthless drug gang, journalist Nico Collard unexpectedly comes across an ancient artifact. Little can she know that the ornately carved obsidian stone will lead her, and her adventuring companion George Stobbart, into a mysterious escapade of intrigue and deceit, in which they must overcome powerful forces and antagonists who will stop at nothing to fulfill their evil ambitions.
‘Broken Sword 2 - the Smoking Mirror: Remastered’ is a stunning update to the million-selling original. Along with an exclusive new interactive digital comic, from ‘Watchmen’ co-creator Dave Gibbons, the game boasts fully animated facial expressions, enhanced graphics throughout, high quality music as well as a context-sensitive hint system, and diary. The game also features Dropbox integration which facilitates a unique cross-platform save-game feature, enabling players to enjoy the same adventure simultaneously on multiple devices, full Game Center integration – including in-game achievements – and many other enhancements.

The Broken Sword games are truly amazing, from the art work that goes into them, the story, puzzles, locations and the characters. Everything about these games has been thought out brilliantly. I loved playing them as a boy and I love playing them now as an adult. I’m so pleased that they have stayed and evolved to new platforms. I can’t wait until Broken Sword 6 is made. If you like point and click adventures this is the game to get. If it’s not your thing I would definitely recommend you try out the games. Perhaps the story, characters or artwork will interest you. Top rated games, Top 5 Stars in my opinion.
Not nearly as good as the first one.

I really enjoyed the first Broken Sword, but this fell far from the mark for me. There is far less Nico and far too much George; it's entirely linear; and many of the puzzles are so random that I felt like I was just clicking on each thing in turn until the next bizarre thing happened. There are also some puzzles where it's clear what you're trying to achieve overall but you have to pull it off in exactly the correct order and way before the game will allow you to move on. There are so many good reviews on here that maybe it's just me, but it basically wasn't that fun, and the storyline went from incredibly slow (while you trying get through the next door or whatever) to suddenly saying something like "so I got on a plane and went halfway round the world". Just not for me...
Amazing game series!

I’ve had the chance to play all of revolutions glorious point and click adventures and they amazingly written and produced! Play what you can here and then go out and buy the ones you can’t!Having an issue with BS2. Interaction with old gendarme in montfacon after ponytail boy is gone. Game freezes but couldn’t find where to report issue?
Still incredible

I’ve played this multiple times since original release and it’s still an outstanding point and click. Great artwork, story, puzzles and voice acting. This iOS version is an excellent port / remaster of the game and I’d totally recommend.
