The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes



I am up in the air regarding this game. It seems to have a lot going for it but I just can't get over the hump and be positive about the game. I love Sherlock Holmes and I really wanted to like this game.

What The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes has going for it are tons of screens (forty) for you to find your missing objects. Add sixteen separate cases to solve along with great locations within the United Kingdom and the formula for success is certainly there.

Perhaps I am just becoming too callous regarding the hidden object genre of games to be unbiased when reviewing this game. All the pieces were in play but It just didn't have the main ingredient that makes a game a winner, that being the playability factor.

If you like hidden objects and you like Sherlock then you may be well served giving this one a spin. I just don't know Watson, it didn't feel right to me.
