Excellent game!
The game was fun and flowing, I couldn't stop playing, I just had to see the ending!!
I played on hard and the puzzles weren't too hard. The attention to detail in the HO's was amazing as I am not a fan of HO so I was impressed.
Really loved it and would highly recommend this game!!

SOLID SHERLOCK HOLMES
Based on complete game, both casual and hard modes. Moderate length (a few hours).
Gameplay: Straightforward. 7 cases of Baskervilles need their coats of arms restored in order to be released from their eternal gloomy nonexistence. Along the way, you acquire super powers like materialization and perception (which is really illumination) so you?ll be breaking a lot of things and lighting a lot of dark places. Travel is between the past and present through portals in each Baskerville room and, once you have all the pieces for the coats of arms, you are given a chance to immediately go to the pictures to complete the coats of arms. Of course, this being about Sherlock Holmes, all the cases are solved.
HOS were well defined and decently sized. The difficulty of the varied puzzles was easy to moderate. Graphics were clear. Music and sound was good. You are notified when all activities in a location have been exhausted. Of course, we know all the cases were solved, or this wouldn?t be a Sherlock Holmes game.
Beginners will be able to play the game without pulling all their hair out.

Enjoyable Sherlock Holmes - A guy's review
*review based on completing the full game in hard mode*
Well, this famous character should be a stranger to no one, and for the ones who have actually read some of the books, one knows that the stories and mysteries are well written and quite engaging. This mystery might be the most famous of them all, and the game does not cast shame on it. It to is quite engaging.
It has all the qualities of a HOPA (Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure) and does so in a clever way. A fair amount of adventuring, and quite a few puzzles to solve, and of course a big handful of HO scenes. Most of the puzzles are the typical of the genre that you have seen before, but still fun. Most of them are on the easier side, but it has a few more challenging ones.
The HO scenes are clutter scenes, and with the graphic being a tiny bit blurry in places, and some items well hidden, it can be a bit challenging in a few of them if you have hard of seeing. They are not interactive and items already picked up will not return in the scene of the ones you return to.
Graphically the game is ok. The characters seem quite blurry, but the scenes and locations seem sharper on the most part. There is hardly any animation in existence, which seem a bit lazy, but not game breaking.
I had the music turned all the way down, so I can't really comment on that at all, but voice-overs were of high quality. Seemed very typical of Sherlock Holmes as portrayed before.
The mechanics of the game seem on target, though sometimes you can not miss by much to get a misclick in the HO scenes. I also found it a bit tiresome to have to click "next" on each part of a conversation, but others might find that useful. There is a map that can also be used to fast travel through the scenes, not that it is really needed, but some people like it that way. The map also shows where you have tasks to do, even in hard mode. If you stand inactive for a little while, you will also get an onscreen hint to what you need to interact with or where you need to go. They could have dropped that in the hard mode at least.
Speaking of which, there are two levels of difficulties to play:
Easy: You get a tutorial in the beginning, additional help/hints, quick hint recharge, easy puzzles and easy HO scenes (whatever that means)
Hard: No tutorial, limited help/hints, slow hint recharge, hard puzzles and hard HO scenes.
It never felt that hard in the "hard" mode (I did not use hints at all, but ended up skipping one single puzzle), so if you want a challenge I suggest playing in the hard mode. There is also a "achievements" system, and if you want to get them all you will have to play both modes. It also has a button for a strategy guide, which was a bit too closely placed to the map, so I clicked it by mistake twice. The guide is not in-game, but an online site, and does minimize your game to task bar. Highly annoying.
All in all the game was a lot of fun to play and I would recommend it to anyone who likes this genre of games. It is a mystery and is a bit dark and gloomy, but never truly scary. Will not suit younger players though.
For the guys:
Well, no need to tell anyone that you play a male character in this one, and most of you will know the story. It suits both genders without a doubt.

Very cool, mysterious, & a lot of unique puzzles.
Now this is the type of game I would like to see more of! The voice overs were well done rather than annoying (as I find them often to be), and the locations and storyline were very creative- I liked that there was a "past" version of each room that had a creepy feel and nearly doubled the number of locations available. The map was also helpful as it showed which rooms still had tasks, and also allowed speedy travel from place to place. I played the game in "hard mode" and was able to complete it without using the strategy guide. I wish that all games would have the option of choosing this! The medallion factor was awesome. It added a whole new layer of fun to the game. I also enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to receive hints/help if I didn't want to.I would definitely recommend this game.

AMAZING!!!!
I, being familar with the story found the cut scenes to be interesting and the story to be accurate yet better than any books. The way to spot where something can be done was a nice touch, meaning buying the staregy guide was almost unesscary. The gameplay was fun and watching the portaraits light up after finishing a chapter was very rewarding. The visuals and sound were very impressive. On the whole waaaay better than all the other sherlock holmes games put together!

BEST GAME EVERY PLAYED!!! GET THE CE!!!
Truly spoiled now by this awesome game! Up there and beyond MCF! Never thought I'd say that! Played Hard Level and it wasn't so ridiculous that the game could not be won! Collector's Edition is the purchase to make! Well worth it with Strategy Guide, extra content, wallpaper, additional mini-games, and can play the hidden object and puzzle games over again! Achievements too! Cannot say enough good! HOG's, puzzles, map that keeps game organized and moving along. With three main characters speaking and interacting--Holmes, Watson and Henry Baskerville, it was like being in Baskerville Hall! Spellbinding, edge-of-your-seat, daunting mystery! Will be playing this again and again and other Sherlock Holmes games as well! Looking forward to sequel for sure!!!
