    by Nathan Meunier Recent past sleuthing exploits in the video game realm have found the famed fictional detective Sherlock Holmes facing some downright peculiar characters in his quest for clues and the ultimate solution of the most elusive plots imaginable. After going toe-to-toe with an evil, Chthulhu-worshipping cult in The Awakened and matching wits with the gentleman cat burglar Arséne Lupin in Nemesis, Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson have their work “cut...

    Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper is an uneven adventure that at times feels like two very different games--one a mesmerizing gorefest of a procedural crime drama that you can't put down, and the other a generic adventure that you've played a thousand times before. True crime fans will still have a blast, although the game could have been a lot better if it had stuck with its innovative investigations of the Ripper killings and not loaded the good stuff down with so...

    The best way to make a point about this game is to summarize a phone conversation that I've had with one of my friends as I was playing through this game. 'So, what are you doing. I'm playing Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper. Why? Work... so, you want to play something a bit more fast paced? Battlefield 1943; we can do our usual tank thing, but hey, I only got about an hour; can you hurry. Fuck ya, Sherlock and Jack can wait; invite me to your Xbox party." Basically,... Read more

    This is what stuff looked like 120 years ago Sherlock Holmes Vs Jack The Ripper The videogame world has been blessed through time with some truly remarkable and enjoyable ‘versus’ titles, from the inspired Capcom Vs. SNK to the chilling horror series Aliens Versus Predator (which receives another entry next month). Literature and history fans have to be particularly intrigued at the clash of minds that Frogwares has served up with their latest effort, yet another... Read more

    Frogwares`Sherlock Holmes game series have improved with each release and we must say Ripper, the latest installment, is almost a perfect modern adventure game. The story is gripping, graphics are crisp, the dialogue is very well written, and the puzzles make sense. We said almost just because a walkthrough is needed in several occasions when pathfinding is an issue. The biggest improvement is in the puzzle area: they are all relevant and some (such as the yiddish... Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Sherlock Holmes Vs Jack The Ripper (PC DVD) (DVD-ROM) This game has a strong story and beautiful atmospheric appearance and sounds. The voice acting is excellent with the exception of the chief runner boy (Holmes calls them his 'irregulars') who seems to have come from the country across the water, America, which was strange, as we are in London and he plays a London urchin. The rest of the voice acting is very faithful and good. Sherlock Holmes... Read more
