The story follows holmes and Watson as they try to solve multiple murders & features classic Sherlock Holmes character Moriarty.
The game features some near perfect voice overs in very well built london areas.
During the game you are able to combine items in you inventory in order to progress, although knowing what and when can become mind numbing.
The control's are simple but character movement can be a tad bit glitchy (I just opened the closed inventory, it works)
The hint option is something I personally consider as broken...having to tap the left trigger when available and having to be facing the objective is annoying.
I love puzzles in games but in this case there isn't much to enjoy as there's no indication of what to do to complete it (not all are difficult)
There are times where you are able to play as watson which oddly seems better?
There's no auto save but it is a pre gen game.
The game has a nice mix of light and dark tones and to tend to put your brain to work.

.. and a few others whose name I cannot currently recall.
None of them, however, were this one.
Like "The Hound...", this was a later-written story, but is also set before Holmes encounter with Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. And like "A Study in Scarlet", it's also very much split into distinct sections: the first section in which Holmes and Watson are called to the English countryside to investigate a murder (or is it suicide?), and the a whole other section set in the United States of America filling in the backgrounds of the principal actor of the first section.
Being new to me, also, I have to say I did wonder - until the reveal! - just how this whole section (and the mention of the Pinkerton Detective Agency) fitted into the first part.
Perhaps because of its novelty (to me), I also fairly enjoyed this.
