Far too short
Very nice game - could be longer than just an hour...

A sheer waste of time and money
What is supposed to be a crime investigation is in fact nothing but a pure HOG in which one HOS follows another, ad infinitum.
The graphics are outdated and not even pleasant to the eye
The intro is a comic book on screen. No voive-over, no dialog, just bubbles.
Several items in each HOS are invisible, pure and simple.
Help from the Hint System is stingy as it takes ages to recharge.
No task whatsoever to accomplish
No way to exit a HOS until completed, no location to visit freely.
Puzzles and minigames are lame and perfectly boring, and no instruction is given as to what to do.
No novelty, no originality, no imagination.
No challenge
Playtime is ludicrously short.
The storyline is the only positive feature the game has to offer.
Forget about Jane Croft and the Baker Street Murder.

Entertaining
A fine relaxing game, but not a visual masterpiece

What has this got to do with Baket Street?
Jane Croft - 221b Baker Street - related to Sherlock Holmes surely....? But no sign that it's London at all, all US items in all the weirdest places with no correlation or thought as to why they are where they are!
You collect things that have no bearing whatsoever on the case... but seem to amass clues anyway. The murder just seems to be a sideline to finding objects in various scenes.
Disjointed - erratic and not worth the money.

Horrible Graphics
Based on the demo: The storyline is good, the music is so-so, but the graphics are AWFUL! When even a modern police lab is a filthy junk pile, well, ugh. And objects in the HOS are often strange, and have nothing to do with the storyline. An anvil in a bedroom?

Hope the Sequel Fares Better...
Every so often, a hidden object game comes along that, despite its obvious flaws, ends up being pretty awesome. This is not that game. Jane Croft investigates a murder at Baker Street, hence the title, but it's a long way off from Sherlock Holmes-level detection.
The most evident problem for me concerned both graphics and sound. There is no voice acting, and the music is monotone and boring. The graphic cutscenes are interesting enough (done in a comic strip style that works with the subject matter# but the rest of the art is way too blocky and clunky. Determining what to pick out of the junkpile object scenes is an exercise in itself. I will admit an odd fascination with finding items like a toilet and lumber in a mansion, but it gets old fast.
Speaking of fast, you won't have that long to wait before the game reaches its #surprising) conclusion. The minigames are incredibly simple, so while the skip button will take a while to charge, I doubt you'll need it. The benefit of picking up bullet piles throughout the brief game ends up unlocking bonus content, which essentially is a five-minute random first person shooter. That will end up being the most fun you have with this, incidentally.
I don't want to be too harsh. I liked the plot of the game, which was rather complex, but the execution of everything else renders it near irrelevant. There are some minor translation issues but nothing too terrible. All in all, I'd pass on this and pick up something far more playable and well done in this genre, like "Little Noir Stories."

Not very good
This game is definitely one of the worst. There isn't much of a challenge, the graphics are elementry and the game is way too short. I would NEVER recommend this game to anyone.

Short but fun
Fun little game - elementary graphics, but a lot of focus on hidden object scenes - and some fun mini-puzzles as well. The story is good but more of an outline than a story.
Make sure to collect the bullets to open the bonus. It's more challenging than the game.

"WORTHY OF NOTE"
A murder mystery where one has to uncover the conspiracy, a very chilly story. It makes you shiver, and question, who would do such a thing? The dialogue is a bit lengthy, and there are bunches of objects to look for . . . . but other than that it's a pleasant game.
