There are also a limited number of animations, which are reused frequently during cut scenes, with body language often failing to match either the script or the voice acting. The animations all look stiff and canned, in the way that 6 th gen games often did. The voice acting borders on amateurish, though the bad script certainly does not help. The story is scattershot, choppy, and extremely stupid.

This feels like an early PS2 game in almost every respect except the quality of the 3D models, textures, and camera. Even something like Lords of Shadow 2, a game that I didn’t really enjoy, feels of a different generation than the First Templar. Comparing The First Templar to Madness Returns feels almost unfair because of the enormous gulf in quality on almost every level. I had a genuinely good time with The Darkness II, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and especially Alice: Madness Returns, which came out about a month after The First Templar. Fortunately, I played a bunch of Xbox 360 games from start to finish in October of last year so I can judge this against its peers. I know games age and that this game is over 10 years old at this point so it can’t be judged against the stuff coming out in 2022. You always have a party of two characters and can either play via online co-op or can play solo and switch between them at will, with the other being controlled by a very rudimentary AI. It’s not a spoiler to say that you rescue her and she joins your party, since she’s literally on the front of the game box, and then you control her and one of the knights as they continue the quest for the grail.The structure of the game is very simple.

He had information about the grail and you suspect he might have passed it to Marie, who is herself being held captive. After a bit of a tutorial mission you set off in pursuit of Marie, the daughter of another member of the order who was killed by Saracens. In the Last Templar you play as a pair of Templar Knights in search of the Holy Grail. Why wouldn't she take the corset off after weeks of imprisonment? Gotta look good for when the cavalry comes and rescues you! A bright purple mini-dress and corset with knee high leather boots. The perfect outfit for a lengthy imprisonment. Nobody asks why the bad guys locked up a woman for weeks or even months but didn’t even bother to take away her weapons, let alone give her a change of clothes. When you meet that character for the first time she is in prison, dressed in a colorful low cut outfit and still carrying her daggers, which she uses to dispatch a jailor who is in her locked cell for some reason. If you want to know what kind of game this is, it’s the kind of game where the cover features a big picture of one of the main characters holding a crossbow and then never once gives her a crossbow to use during the game itself.

I’d say I don’t know what I was expecting except I know exactly what I was expecting and it was what I got. I wanted to know what the game was like so I plopped down my portrait of Abraham Lincoln and downloaded the game file.

This autumn the game became backwards compatible for some reason or other and there was an Xbox sale on offering it for less than $5 and, well, if curiosity killed the cat then you can call me Garfield. I later misplaced that copy because, well, it was a cheap copy of The First Templar and it wasn’t exactly a prized possession. I remember the Giant Bomb quick look of this thing left me intrigued, though, and I bought a cheap copy a few months later with the intent of getting around to it at some point. This was not a shock to me, considering its 52% score on Metacritic* and my memory of coverage from its release in 2011.
