In the end it seems like Sherlock Holmes is a step backwards for videogames, and ultimately not a game that will attract even a niche following. These are short adventures with no reason for you to ever visit them again. It seems like only fans of the books are going to like this, and most of them have already lived these cases making this game useless for just about everybody.

The bottom line here is commitment. You have to really want to solve these crimes, write down the clues, take note of the witnesses, and set aside the time to play the game. Consulting Detective is an in depth take on a classic literature character which is a rarity in gaming to say the least. It is because of this that the game is for the mystery fan, and not for the gamer. If you are looking for some light, fast paced, detective action try Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego? instead, as this one's high difficulty will most likely turn you away very quickly.
