I enjoyed the game, but wished it had more levels and took longer to complete.
Rating: 3 / 5
I was excited to get this game but expected a bit more. While searching around a room to find clues is okay, it can get to be anonying after awhile. Just needed a bit more excitement.

This game is much improved over the PC origonal. Some puzzles have been removed giving the game a more adventure feel. While the gameplay was enjoyable, the game’s cutscenes were very well done for a DS game and made the game. The gameplay itself is easy and the puzzles were fun and well integrated into the story. The game contains the entire walkthrough for the game inside – a great plus. Graphics were same as PC – which is very good. Overall, a solid adsventure game for the DS.

I preordered this game. I love mystery/puzzle games for the DS and Sherlock Holmes? How could you go wrong? I got as far as the library and ended up trading in the game. Major disappointment! The graphics are awful and it’s hard to maneuver around the scenes with the stylus. Also, there’s not much of a storyline, and I forgot why I was collecting clues in the first place. Some other people have commented that the voiceover narration didn’t match the onscreen subtitles. That’s a minor annoyance, but I found the voiceover guy’s fake British accent especially grating.

I was looking forward to this game as I love mystery/puzzle games. However, I was very VERY disappointed. The settings are far too sensitive and when you try to scroll the image upward only slightly it shoots up. When you try to gently scroll back down, it shoots to the floor. Very aggravating. Also the various sayings and quotes Sherlock Holmes utters have nothing to do with the game and you are left wondering what you are supposed to be doing.
To be perfectly honest, I got to the second room and ended up giving up. There is no real direction or plot that seems to unfold and you are left in the room searching for goodness knows what until you find everything. If you don’t, you don’t move on. I still have no idea what I was supposed to be looking for! Save your money and buy Professor Layton or some other decent game.
