Visually, Secrets of the Ark is a very pleasing game. Like the previous Broken Sword game, The Sleeping Dragon, all of the characters and environments take on a very realistic feel (as opposed to the cartoon style of the first two games). The look of each location seems to go hand-in-hand with the feel of the game. Whether you are in an old temple with soft lighting or hiding above Stobbard's office in a decrepit old building, everything just seems to fit.
Secrets of the Ark's audio aspects aren't all that bad either. Voice acting is, for the most part, dead on and the only parts that felt phoned-in were for minor characters that you only have to interact with once or twice. Like their appearance, each location's background noise seems very fitting.
