As in the first two Broken Sword games, in the Sleeping Dragon player character death is possible. The player has action choices in the bottom right of the screen - there are four circles with anywhere from one to four actions available at any time the player selects the desired action with the corresponding key. George can engage in dialogue with other characters through conversation trees to gain hints of what needs to be done to solve the puzzles or to progress the plot. George must collect objects that can be used with other collectable objects, parts of the scenery, or other people in the game world in order to solve puzzles and progress in the game. The player guides George Stobbart's movements with a keyboard or gamepad, while Nicole Collard is also a playable character at certain times. The gameplay in Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon is a departure from previous instalments in the series, using a direct control interface. According to Charles Cecil, the game sold a few hundred thousand copies. Criticism focused primarily on the control interface and repetitive puzzles. Critics praised the game's story, writing, humour, cinematic feel, and graphics. The game has received highly positive reviews. The game's music was composed by Ben McCullough and Rolf Saxon returned to voice George Stobbart. Unlike the first two Broken Swordgames, which used the Virtual Theatre engine, The Sleeping Dragon was built with the RendderWare engine. The game was originally planned to have similar cartoon-quality visuals as its prequels, but the developers decided to aim at a style similar to Japanese animated films. To make the game feel like a film, Revolution brought in a cinematic consultant, Bob Keen, who made sure the game conveyed emotions and atmosphere appropriate for each scene. The player again assumes the role of George Stobbart, an American patent lawyer who flies to the Congo to write a patent for a scientist who claims to have found a source of unlimited energy. The Sleeping Dragon moved the series to 3D graphics and is the only game in the series not to use a point and click interface. It is the third instalment in the Broken Sword series, released six years after the previous instalment, Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror. A Nintendo GameCube version was planned, but was cancelled. The locations visited throughout the game include The Congo, Paris, England, Czech Republic and Egypt.Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon is an adventure game released on Microsoft Windows, Xbox and PlayStation 2 in 2003, while in Japan, the PlayStation 2 version (released only in Europe and Japan) was released in September 2004. The characters can duck, sneak, hang from ledges and move crates to reach higher areas. Next to typical adventure gameplay such as exploration, conversations, and searching and combining items, there are also a few action sequences. The player alternately controls George or Nico. For the Windows version the game is no longer controlled through the mouse, but now through the keyboard, for the movement of the characters as well as all the actions. The Sleeping Dragon moves away from the 2D point-and-click concept from the earlier games and features a full 3D world, with a camera that does not rotate, but uses fixed cinematic perspectives, combined with full 5.1 sound. This time, George Stobbart and Nico Collard are after the Voynich Manuscript to unravel its mysteries. The first two games (The Shadow of the Templars and The Smoking Mirror) delved into the Knights Templar and Mayan mythology. No less than six years have gone by before the third installment in the Broken Sword series saw the light of day.
