All Game Guide
221B Baker Street is a worthwhile product for those who don't mind playing board games in electronic format, who enjoy games based on puzzle solving, and who don't have problems getting several friends to gather 'round to play a game. If you don't meet all those requirements, the game will be less satisfying.

The Good Old Days
The game has a few basic problems, of course. First of all, cases you already know aren't replayable at all, so as impressive as the number of cases might sound at first, they don't last that long. Also, a computer specific problem is the relatively slow gameplay. Last, but not least, the single player fun is kind of limited, because even though there is a final rating depending on how many clues you needed to solve a case, it is hardly challenging without competition. Overall, still a good 'timewaster'.
