Nevermind.

Block shifting? Yikes, I hate block shifting. It took me 20 minutes in RE4 to finish the block shifting puzzle and it took 1 minute to my friend -.-

I know it. I hated getting to that part in RE4. I finished the game multiple times, and after my first playthrough I used a walkthrough to get through that puzzle quickly(luckily I haven't stumbled into a puzzle like this in RE5 yet).

I'll be starting this game tomorrow, and I am not look forward to this puzzle(I seriously hate them). Guess I'll have to use the hints to blow through it quickly. Judging by the comments though this sounds like a great game.

aw, no one likes block and shifting? I love blocks! finished it in 5 minutes What I hate is trying to find an object to pry a heavy door open. Anyone know where to get the prying object?

So far this game is pretty good! I'm super happy that they finally brought broken sword to this platform. Hopefully we'll see more point and click games for the ds in the future!

place the metal shell under the heavy door so when you hold the cross up it will flatten the shell casing. Use the shell on the cross to keep the door open then place the cylinder into the revealed hole then you can remove the shell from the cross and use it to pry open the other door.

Finished it this morning 7:53 on save file with 23 hints used. I give it 8/10
I can't really make my mind up if it's better than the PC/PSX versions as it's had a real overhaul for DS, bringing it up to this decade's standards nicely.
It is easily the best portable version though (not really hard to beat the others lol).

I tried so long but I just can't figure out the effing cipher.

I've got down all the normal words, just that I'm left with _AMADA, _UL_, and the last initial.
The letters that I have left are J, Q, V, X, Y, Z. Totally impossible.

Still have the old playstation version of shadow of the templars, and the sequel, the smoking mirror for PC.
The PC verion was always better than the PSX version - less/faster loading screens when entering buildings and rooms.
I dust at least one them off and play through it every year or so. Loves me some of the ol' point n' clickery.
Started playing through the DS version this morning and yeah, it's a very good update to one of my old favourites.

The new beginning that adds more backstory to Nicole's involvement was a pleasant surprise.
The way hotspots now display a little visual hint when the stylus gets 'close enough' is a nice touch.
Story pacing is very good. Just as I was starting to wonder "Where's George?" there he was, taking a seat outside the café.
Puzzle difficulty is nicely balanced so far, but yeah, those rassin' frassin' block puzzles...

The only downside is the absence of character's voices.

Spoiler

Specifically, Nicole's accent...

For those having trouble with the cipher puzzles, I'll help a bit, but won't give the whole solution away...

Spoiler

In the two cipher codes I've solved so far, the first word of each message is the name of the person the message is for.

That should be enough to give you a good start.

If you just need one more pairing to solve the puzzle, but have no idea what to try next because there's no more incomplete words left to give you hints:

Listen carefully to the sounds the letters and symbols make when you select them.
What sounds are made when you get a letter/symbol pair right?
What sounds are made when you get a pair wrong?

Use those sound cues, together with the undo button to try different pairings until you make the right choice.
Essentially, the cipher puzzles let you use a simple brute force technique if you get stuck.

I am not sure from the post what puzzle you refer to but I'm guessing it's the prison-like door with block slide puzzles on both sides. If that's the case, you just have to think things through carefully, but if you get really frustrated with it, the last hint you can get on it is to slide your stylus from the top left corner of the screen to the bottom-right corner, and if you do that, it auto-unlocks things. Kind of cheating but it's good if you're tired of it and don't want to waste the time.

This game seems horrible without the voiceacting

Looks like I'll just get the original game on computer

So you're willing to miss out on the new game content, just because there's no voice acting?

Oh well, it's your loss...

Finished this a an hour ago. Great game! Very addictive. Invested around 14hrs into it with 38 puzzle hints. Seems a lot but I kept pushing the help button cos I forgot what the hint said!
