Sherlock Holmes The Awakened Preview
The dilemma is this: bastardise the whole point of having Holmes in it in the first place by making it a standard point-and-click adventure, or make it so maddeningly difficult and obsessed with minutiae that it will be realistic, and therefore impossible for the normal human.

It's no classic in the making then?

Definatly no classic literature add-on. Deep collect-em-all fans might like it. The only real deep giggle I got from it was Holmes slightly suspicious urge to 'collect' al traces of opium. In the game you come across a fair amount of smack laced water, nuggets, cookies, whatever. Whenever you do, Holmes rather suspiciously announces he must take it home for analysis and sweeps into his pocket. I keep on expecting him to say - 'Watson! Do not disturb me for an hour. Then bring Jaffa Cakes.' Otherwise, no joy for me.

Oh, and if any purists of Holmes care, the character is clearly modeled on Basil Rathbone - the actor that was classicaly associated with the Holmes in his holywood productions.

Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes by far
