* PortingDisaster: The UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance version has some bugs that forces players to restart the game. It also has no voice acting, the visuals and animations are heavily compressed, and due to the lack of buttons on the GBA, George is directly controlled.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The changes made in ''Director's Cut'' were contentious, to put it lightly. Some additions were welcomed, like the new Nico's section and the ability to skip many of the slower animation, while others...not so much. Due to loss of the original source code, the developer had to build upon what they could recover from finished product, and as such, the new assets tend to heavily clash with the old ones, from the quality of voice acting (like Nico's new actor) to the highly acclaimed graphics. The deaths scenes are also censored, making it impossible for George to die. Thankfully, the digital version available on Steam and GOG.com includes the original DOS release.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: One of the better received additions in ''Director's Cut'' is the ability to play as Nico and explore the plot from her point of view. However, Nico's sections are limited to Paris, and once the story moves to Ireland, the player is stuck with George for the rest of the game. As such there are plenty of locales where Nico could have served as a protagonist and helped flesh out the plot more.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Although many will argue the sequels have their own merits, both fans and critics agree this is the best installment in the series, and one series. ''The Shadow of the most Templars'' was acclaimed adventure games for memorable side characters, dialogues full of witty British humor, and an enthralling conspiracy plot created from real-life history. The sequels tried to replicate the 1990s.magic in this game, but they weren't met with the same praise for missing the charm of at least one of these, in addition to embedding some issues criticized in this game (see FranchiseOriginalSin) without fixing them.
