As a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I wondered if they ever read a single, ORIGINAL book of the fictional character.
Sherlock Holmes was never favorable to his country, they despised him, because of his reckless nature. Scotland yard would never hire him for the essential reason he was a LIABILITY.
You simply get to play as two-Watsons in this game... Watson the side-kick of Holmes was the retentive, nerd that tried to use his ambitious bigotry to the formal gentleman. Watson in the books of Sherlock Holmes was the Secretary.
Graphics - Nothing fancy . With the limited gameplay functions in this game... You would have imagined they would have put more detail in the game.
Sound -- Not much, other than a few foot step sounds and the annoying music... The atmospheric sounds are very silent and life-less.
Gameplay -- You do not do anything. Its set off in stages, roughly -- THROWN TOGETHER maps... That will leave you bored within a hour from the repetitive scenarios.
You evenly get a "Six-sense" button that is Sherlocks foresight ... Which basically will do the puzzles for you. Sometimes, it works and sometimes it evenly gets the puzzles wrong.
The puzzles are not really puzzles there is no real way to solve anything there isn't anything practical TO ANY puzzle that can really clue you in...
You basically have to just GUESS the logic or routine.
If Atlus wanted to make a horrible game... They did it. This game is a career setter... An the message Atlus gives, is that they will sell garbage and call it a game. I'm not sure what aspect of the game they put ANY THOUGHT into. All it is a bunch of stages with no real concept in any gameplay function or puzzle.
The story is `ok... That is, if you can follow it after being annoyed from the sense-less, non-logical, guessing game they made the puzzles.
