Love the movie at the start.
Game starts with a story in movie format. I like that. It's not a short movie, several minutes long. It gets you into the story. From what I can see, there are no "hints", you have to figure it out on your own. When he says he needs a hint, he means to pick something from the inventory and show it to whoever he's talking to or use it for something. He'll also say other things to send you in the right direction if you are lost. To me,an middle aged woman who doesn't play a lot of games, it's a challenging game but that makes it worth the money IMO. You get to use the magnifying glass, the test tube, travel around to different locations. Act as Sherlock and Watson at different times. I think it requires patience cuz you really are investigating and asking questions of the characters. It's not a real fast paced game.

A Good Game!
Very Challenging, but fun overall! Controls are a little jerky, and could use some work, but i doesn't impede the gameplay. Make sure to save constantly!

Amazing grapic play and story
This game is the one of the best Sherlock games I played sense the awakening. (Sherlock Holmes - the awakening)
Now this game is done redone by the help of Ubisoft if i spelled correctly. they were the ones who made the best console games I played so far, but only for the games that were based on movies, for they are the worst for a good gamer. thought there are only 2 things that are negative. 1 - navigation, this game is a little hard to find things around, the map is hopeless to me to use like they did in the last games like i mentioned earlier. 2 - what to do next? well you don't get a to do list and after not to play the game for a while after saving the game wont tell what to do. sadly this will have to make you play continually until you beaten it, unless you cheat. Overall it is a nice neat game from the Sherlock Holmes games branch

Challenging your mind for sure!
Note: LOTS AND LOTS OF READING MY FRIENDS!!!
Negatives First!: Only thing I did not like was waiting on certain parts of watching Holmes and Watson leaving the area you were in, it had nothing to do with anything. The sense of direction of you were you walk or "run", should have been worked on as well. It was difficult and a bit sloppy trying to find where to walk on the "hot spots".
Positives: The overall game was good. I have to give it 5 stars for it was a challenge and entertaining to find items and match them with questions you end up answering in quizzes. The ending, they show you the results and explanations of when, where, what and the whys, making it conclusive to your findings; satisfiable to patting yourself on the back when Holmes gives a educational, witty result.
