   Yet it's hard to ignore the clumsier aspects of the game. The 3D environments, as detailed and atmospheric as most first-person shooters, hinder the adventure template as much as they help it while the over-reliance on pixel-hunting for clues and the rigidly linear structure often make it more of an interactive story than an actual game. But if you can tolerate those flaws, and your pride will allow you to keep a walkthrough to hand for getting past some of the more u... Read more

   That aside, this is a great little adventure. The puzzles are solvable with a bit of thought, the story is well developed and the feeling of being in a Sherlock Holmes book is rarely interrupted, once you get into how the game works! Read more

   I would begin to say that this game looks very good- the detail is faultless. London on the period is very well captured and looks better than a film at times. The characters even have shaving rashes. I liked the Cthulhu theme and cultism- something which works very well and the game is quite scary at times. Cons: the stages are huge and no matter what the manual says Sherlock almost crawls from scene to scene. This becomes virtually intolerable when not sure what to... Read more
