Overview:
Become the most celebrated detective of all time: Sherlock Holmes! Use your impressive talents as a detective to solve six thrilling and varied cases: murders, missing persons, spectacular thefts and numerous investigations that sometimes lead you into the realms of the fantastic.
WILL YOU FOLLOW YOUR MORAL COMPASS, OR WILL YOU APPLY THE LETTER OF THE LAW?
Features:
The great freedom of action in Crimes & Punishments allows you to conduct your investigations in the manner you deem appropriate. Use the 14 extraordinary skills of detection for which Sherlock is famous, choose the avenues of enquiry you wish to pursue, interrogate your suspects and, from your deductions, name the guilty parties... you can even determine their fate! The ramifications are far-reaching, and your decisions will exert a real influence through your reputation or the surprising consequences that will arise where you least expect them...
Pros: you can make the wrong conclusions and arrest the wrong people, another step forward for the genre.
Cons: difficulty only comes from the forced ambiguity of the situations, uninspired mini puzzle games (that you can skip), some longgggggg loading times, very hard to miss clues.
Rating: enter cheat-code "waterboarding" to get to the truth (it might not always work and sometimes it breaks the game).
Recommendation: nice game but the genre still needs to evolve. A must for the fans.
