Not for the shy...you gotta love a challenge
Some people may find this particular game a bit disconcerting since your mouse is in 360 degree mode. If you're not used to this type of mode, you could get dizzy. It's not one of my favorites, but once you get the hang of how to use the cursor, you're hooked. This is not a game for the beginner. It works linearly, meaning that you must complete tasks in order to go on to the next task and level. Wonderfully moody atmosphere, and there are some moments where you're on the clock, so watch out. The puzzles are medium to almost "aggghhhhh", but the Sherlock Holmes series from Frogwares, never fails to disappoint. One item, no Dr. Watson in this one. Holmes is on his own. Great introduction to the series.

Sadly not my type of game
It is just not my kinda game. I wish it were because I am always cognizant of the work that a team has accomplished developing a game for us.
I tried to stick with it however I was not successful navigating the game to the extend it would hold my interest.
For many this game will be of their liking so I highly suggest that one not base purchasing the game on my review.
Should you choose to give it a whirl I wish you happy gaming.

Test your wits and skills
When I first bought this game, I was fairly new to computer games and wasn't sure I was up to the task. And I probably wasn't, but I kept at it. Finally I made it and really did enjoy the game. I will say it took me quite awhile as I would set it aside to play something else before starting again.
So what do you get?
Marvelous graphics
Great storyline
Great sound effects
Puzzles that can drive you mad and others that seem like a snap
360 movement which takes a bit of getting use too
A real mental workout and a lot of satisfaction when done
I highly recommend this game to those who wants go on to the next level but I would also suggest purchasing the SG as well. For those who have played these types of games I think you will really enjoy it.

A mystery why anyone should play it!
I hated this game (sorry Big fish!). Sherlock Holmes without Doctor Watson? Without characters to interrogate or interact with? No, no, no! It's elementary, it simply doesn't work! (yet the game description has the player believe that there are plenty of characters!?). I bought the game when I was a novice adventurer, and before I had the internet, but I gave up, when I got trapped inside a tomb, and as it was timed, there didn't seem enough time to figure out how to get out! Now you might think me thick, but if games have a timed puzzle, shouldn't it be apparent BEFORE you go into the area? Players shouldn't have to discover it's a timed puzzle, after they fail! Maybe I should've perservered, but frankly, the game didn't have enough pull, and I traded it in! This was so unlike the other Sherlock Holmes adventures, in every way apart from the graphics. I wouldn't recommend this to novice adventurers, or fans of other Sherlock Holmes games, as it was a total dissapointment. Try instead, any one of the others, particularly, Secret of The Silver Earring, or Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper, which were excellent, and had the fundamental ingredients of superb murder mystery adventures!
