I found the 2nd game to have better production values but the story was not as good as the first.

Generally, if you liked “Broken Sword” you should like both of these. The 3rd should have a much better story - which is lacking in both the 1st and the 2nd.

That’s nice to hear. I always liked the polish and potential of the SF games but agree that the plots didn’t really go as far as I would have liked. But now I am a bit more interested on the 3rd game.

I wanna buy Lost Horizon but play.com doesn’t have it and the only Greek store that has it I think sells it for 30-40 Euros or so.

man i had the same problem…i wanted a hard copy.you won’t find it for less than 30euros.Also if you check out Amazon.co.uk be very careful and check out the page for info about the language and if there isn’t any check out the photos.if you see any german that is not your product unless you speak the language fairly well,talking from experience.but if you really want the hard copy i suggest you take the high road and buy it for 44.90 from game-explorers.gr.

Wow, some pretty mixed reviews! I guess I will definitely have to give SF2 a shot then, just to see for myself Thanks, everyone!

After the first batch of answers I ended up opting to start Art of Murder: Hunt for the Pupeteer instead of SF2, but now that I see other people preferred the second game, I will definitely give SF2 a shot once I am done with this game.

However, since you liked it enough to play through the first one, I would strongly recommend checking out Lost Horizon. It’s from the same developers and even better than Secret Files 1 or 2.

I agree with Schneckchen ^.^: if you like the first one enough to play through it, then by all means try out Lost Horizon. It blows both Secret Files games out of the water.

As for the Secret Files games themselves, I consider the first two to be pretty much of equal quality. Although it’s kinda hard for me to accurately compare them, since I played Tunguska on the DS, and Puritas Cordis on the PC…

Given the quality of Lost Horizon (which came after Puritas Cordis), however, I am curious to see what the third installment will be like.

Play both Secret Files games,they are worth it.That’s for sure!

So I just started Puritas Cordis. I am not very far into it yet, but so far I definitely am enjoying it more than I did the first one! Although it has been super easy so far (which is fine by me, I go for story more than puzzles and so I don’t like it when puzzles hold you up in a game, but I can see how people who are more into the puzzles would be put off by this).

I already knew from these forums that the voice actor for Nina was going to be different. But the problem in the first game wasn’t Nina’s voice, it was the voice ACTING, and this actress’s abilities are certainly no better. The way she delivers her lines is just so flat. Ick.

But I am liking the game so far

Okay, so this Nina’s voice acting is most definitely worse. No inflection whatsoever! Boo.

(Still enjoying the game, though!)

I hate the new actress’ voice!It’s the only thing that keeps me from playing the game and instead play other adventure games.

It’s like…as if she’s trying to read a text without mistakes and that’s all!

No feeling,no spirit,no excitement,no sentiment.

The first game’s Nina had a fantastic voice.The voice actress gave life to Nina,she made her look lovely,funny,sweet,sometimes goofy.

In the second game you hear Nina talking in a ridiculously low-volume and calm way as if reading a paragraph at school or something.
