The mini games, they are badly implented.

I can handle some bad gameplay mechanics but combined with these minigames and "puzzles", you really want to skip it altogether. I just finished the second case and any desire to keep playing has been crushed already.

You need to look up guides on certain things like how to shine a shoe properly. And don't get me started on how you have to be CLOSE to certain things in order to see, that you can interact with them.

Don't get this Sherlock Holmes game, the other ones are somewhat better.

These Sherlock Holmes games are fun. They are however short and have limited replayability. The story and the ability to make your own choice as to who the killer is is the fun part. The fighting/action parts can become annoying they are done to stretch the game out but you can always space bar past them which is nice. A lot of the action/fighting is just random chance. The best part of the game is the deduction and story and that is what I suspect everyone plays it for.
