gentle gaming and interesting story June 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an average game; it is well worth playing but it is not fantastic. It is interesting and has some witty dialogue. The graphics are good and the scenes of London would be of particular interest to the historian in you as they seemed faithful as was the characterisation of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. The puzzles were sometimes tedious, which is why I gave it only 3 stars. On balance I am glad I bought it and played it as it was enjoyable.
Holmes: Could Do Better! June 4, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis doesn't pitch The Master against Moriarty as you might think but rather the dastardly fictional French burglar, Arsene Lupin who baits Holmes with a series of riddles as to the next great British treasure he is going to steal in order to bring shame on the Empire.
As Lupin is all about nicking British assets, the game is based in London's museums, galleries and famous landmarks which does feel somewhat limited, given the scope of The Awakened when Holmes and the ever-trusty Watson did a bit of globe trotting as far as New Orleans and most of Europe.
The puzzles are also not quite as challenging and if you're not into paintings, you will be bored after the first hour.
The graphics are certainly authentic; if you've been to the British Museum, you'll know what I mean and I have to applaud the designers for that.
One word of warning is to turn off your anti-virus software when you install and also when you are playing as I found the odd Norton message box popping up in the middle of proceedings and it crashed the game.
Not terrible but certainly not the best of the series.
