During the half year are responsible for promotion of The Angel of Death showed the public of questionable content outline and a couple of obscure screenshots. Main schemer Charles Cecil has long kept silent, was entangled in the testimony, ran from the press as the fire, and then suddenly a month or two before the release began giving interviews left and right and still can not stop. But if we try to bring together all pieces of the puzzle interview Cecil, the film won incomplete: there are obvious gaps are visible in some places inaccurate - all this produced a lot of rumors and gossip. Well, the product is ready - and now we have an excellent opportunity to learn how many of the truth in the words of Charles.
First of all, The Angel of Death would not be Broken Sword'om if there were no vivid characters and the humor inherent in the entire series. Everything else: an intriguing plot, nice graphics, exciting music - this is valuable, but only pleasant part of the whole. "Dismiss" George and Nicole - the game will turn away fans, and properly done, no doubt - will be some interest, but a rare fresh water adventure. Cecil is also well aware of, so all agreed to return the same curious Frenchwoman, which was going to end at the beginning of the fourth part.

True, Nicole makes itself known closer to the middle of the game, but until that time we have to share the company with the enigmatic Anna-Maria, who appears in the life of George as suddenly as it follows her brutal kind of mafia. Who really is Anna Maria and why gangsters needed a mysterious scroll that has brought the girl - a player learns soon.
The plot does not develop as fast as in The Sleeping Dragon, and the continuation of self takes about two to three times longer than the previous game in the series. In other words - it is 10-15 hours. 10 - those who are familiar with the specific puzzles that constantly throws up magicians from Revolution Software, 15 - for those who first discovered the world of Broken Sword.
In the course of the play there are a few plot twists, which can be called a surprise (that's putting it mildly!) - Otherwise I feel like nalepit label "Trite!". But, despite all the cliches and obvious blunders, Cecil must pay tribute to: his influence is felt almost as strongly as in The Shadow of the Templars and The Smoking Mirror. The wizard, above all, distinctly "heard" in the dialogues: Beware miss in the first place, no useful information, but another excellent jest George. Sarcasm reaches its climax at a meeting Stobbarta Collar: both characters have become real masters on exchange barbs at every opportunity and an awkward case.

After Nicole's second in the list of expected characters was listed among the fans of the computer mouse - it was returned, everything is fair. However, instead of the originally promised by the three types of management have left about one and a half: the category of high-grade (dzhoypady can put aside) now applies only "button rodent - one keyboard, you will not manage because you can assign only the buttons that are responsible for moving the character (including running). If you want to - you can transfer your character to run the mouse wheel (why it was impossible to make a run on double click?), But such a decision may deem convenient few. Others are likely to be the game skillfully combine both mouse and keyboard - good, this method is most convenient.
What is truly forgotten (not yet?) To the authors - is the draw at least some secondary characters: something similar happened in the last part, but due to small playing areas are not as highly salient. In The Angel of Death every character that appeared on the screen of your monitor, one way or another has to do with the storyline. Exceptions are made except that the monks and police officers from which to hide in stealth-scenes. Really, if you think about it in this sense, the game becomes more like a theater than on film.
Graphically, The Angel of Death looks no worse than third part, but is unlikely to accept most of these words with delight. Indeed, no special effects faery game does not contain, but despite this, the deficiencies did not say a word about the outer shell. The picture is quite acceptable, and if someone forgot to remind - in front of us is not representative of the genre 3d-action, and the number of polygons, highlighted by the characters and landscape of today is quite enough.
I believe you're still waiting for an answer to the countless questions, has arisen after the first interview with Cecil on The Angel of Death. For example: die if Nicole (pereinachit question can be - whether there will be alive at least someone) who is actually suddenly appeared in my life Stobbarta Anna Maria, in the end - is there any hint of a sequel. Sorry, but the answer to any such matter - a crime against society. Play - The Angel of Death they deserve - and you all know yourselves.
 | Have a replacement! |
Since the announcement of the fourth game fans nights bothered important question - whether to attend the notorious puzzle boxes, which are a good half of playing in The Sleeping Dragon seemed incredibly tedious? I can assure you, in The Angel of Death of "cubic" puzzles almost reduced to zero (what's left is hardly puzzles). But the developers found another joy - hacking servers via PDA. To crack is not necessary programming skills, administration, or anything else - just logical thinking. In practice, hacking is as follows: simply to "beam" on our PDA to the server via the computer using various kinds of mirrors. The idea of this fun is not new (and more recently, quite often in the form of shareware), but much more appropriate than "a porter service. In total, the player will break a little less than a dozen different computers.
