Review (By Jack098):
Game Play: Game play on BS is one of the best I have ever seen in an RPG. The controls are all keyboard based
but are really easy to master, with just 10 keys needed. The AI and characters are dissapointing as they make no attempt
to move their mouths as they speak. Otherwise character AI is at a good standard. It all loads very quickly and doesn't glitch.
My other complaint is that often you are left in a room so dark that it is impossible to see yur character, let alone move
him. This wouldn't be so bad but there is no brightness control on the menu so you can not change it.
Graphics: For a game published in 2003 BS hosts mind blowing graphics which most people don't expect.
I would say that BS3: TSD supports better graphics than The Sims 2 (having played both games myself). I play BS a lot and
have never found any glitches or anything along those lines.
Sound: Again the sound is on a level equal to The Sims 2. This time, however, BS doesn't come out victorious
over The Sims 2. The characters speak in a different tone of voice depending on the situation but tend to be repetitive. At
least they speak in English!
Story: For me games like BS are made by their stories. BS3: TSD really does have one of the best stories
I have ever seen in a RPG/Puzzle Adventure game. It is never predictable and takes you from Ancient Aztec to Modern
Day Glastonbury. Keeps you guessing all the way through.
Multiplayer: N/A BS doesn't have a multiplayer mode so is not given a mark.
Overall: 77% For those into RPG Puzzle and Adventure games look no further. BS is
for you! If you are not into games like this then stay away.
