- TriviaApparently, the man on the box art of the European version of Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars has nothing to do with the game, but is a real-life image of a criminal on death row, just before he was executed. The creators of the game chose the image because it looked sinister.

George Stobbart: [narrating] Paris in the fall, the last months of the year, at the end of the millenium. The city holds many memories for me, of music, of cafes, of love, and of death.

Featured review
An excellent adventure with a gripping story
Broken Sword is a bit old now, but I think that this is the best cartoon-point-and-click adventure around. On both Playstation and PC. You play George Stobbart, who is an American tourist on vacation in Paris. He is sitting outside a cafe, when it is suddenly blown up by a man who appears to be a terrorist. One man dies in the explosion. George talks to the police, but they don`t believe him when he tells them that the killer was a clown(!). George decides to investigate on his own, and he tries to track down the killer, who is disguised as a clown. Poor George is about to enter a sinister world of mystery and death. The graphics are cartoonish and the scenery looks stunning. The mysterious music creates a perfect atmosphere. The story is excellent and gripping, and it is based on things that have really happened. The game has excellent and logical puzzles. All of these things make Broken Sword preferable to all other similar games out there. Broken Sword is a massive adventure, and is THE adventure to choose, wheather you`ve a Playstation or a PC. Brilliant game!
