Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror has been remastered for the iPad and iPhone. Is it really worth it for first timers playing this game? Will the veterans who played this game before the PC find this remastering a bit unnecessary? Read our review at GameZone.com to find out.

In the 1990s, adventure games were as popular as first-person shooters are today, and the PC was the undeniable king of the genre. Though point-and-click adventures were released on consoles, controllers just couldn’t replicate the ease of using of the mouse and cursor as far as gameplay was concerned. Recently, with the genre seeing a resurgence in popularity, other platforms have emerged as fitting for adventure games, in particular the Wii, DS, iPhone, and iPad. After the 1996 title Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars was released in the form of a Director’s Cut on all of the aforementioned systems, a rerelease of the sequel seemed likely. Surely enough, in December 2010, Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror – Remastered came out for the iPhone and iPad, once again utilizing the touch screen of the Apple devices to make the point-and-click gameplay feel as intuitive as it did with a mouse and cursor in 1997.
