I couldn't beat the one on the GBA, I have no reason to get this and I probably wont.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.

The Official Huge Monster Hunter Thread:
I played through about 40% of it and didn't care for it. The puzzles are way too easy and I found the story boring.
I will... once price drops, of course. I'm not going to pay 60€ for a remake (with new content, yes, but still a remake) when I can buy better* games for less than that.
*Note: That better is acording to my personal taste, but this game is not better than Pikmin and it costs half that price!
Please excuse my bad English.

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.
I will probably pick up the DS version once it drops to $20.
I was going to buy it and play it with my girlfriend, but from the screenshots I showed her she wasn't impressed. She didn't like the graphic style (being a graphic designer and a bit critical).
So I'm currently waiting for Secret Files II.
Currently playing: NSMB (Wii)
I bought it, though I wish the game was longer, and had a less rushed ending.

Improvements are caused by people who complain

Memento Mori*
Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis*
The Book of Unwritten Tales*
Edna & Harvey: The Breakout*
Gobliiins 4*
*already released in German speaking countries (and maybe also in other countries);
Ceville and The Book of Unwritten Tales got very good reviews (Ceville surprisingly even from US media);
Edna & Harvey was voted the best adventure of 2008 in Germany;
Some of the games listed above are also coming to Wii and/or DS; even PS3 and 360 get some p&c games, as far as I know
Good general p&c sites: http://www.adventuregamers.com/ http://www.adventure-archiv.de/startenglish.htm
So the state of point&click is not sad at all imo (German, Spanish, Scandinavian, French, Eastern European and even a few US companies are still developing these games), but I think there are two things that are a bit sad with regards to Ubisoft's strategy and Revolution Software:
- Like KylieDog said, Broken Sword on Wii (and DS) is way too expensive; all the games listed above are original developments and on the day of their release they were/will already be 10-20€ cheaper than the Broken Sword Wii remake
- Charles Cecil's Revolution Software, being the only surviving classic p&c developer, should really try to develop new games; there's still a market for new p&c games - especially in Europe

Wow, I couldn't disagree with your gf more. Broken Sword is absolutely beautiful. The 2D drwings are gorgeous, completely different from the pretty standard graphics in Secret Files.

I agree with Benga here regarding art style, and you don't have to wait for Secret Files 2, ElRhodeo; it's been released in Germany months ago.
Very good looking p&c games on PC imo: A Vampyre Story, Ceville, The Book of Unwritten Tales and the upcoming games The Whispered World, Machinarium and Gray Matter.
