Which case is your favourite?

[RRevy]

I've got two at the first place, but I think that "The Blood Bath" won for me - gave me the most fun all the time and some hard thinking at the end to find the right solution.
Three different suspects - each with strong motive - waiting in the jail, two very possible murder weapons and no sudden action turns made the case really tricky to solve.
Just you, suspects and all the evidences.
It required a good, logical thinking with all that you have and some details to notice to be sure and get it all right, and that's what I like the most.

So, what's your type? :)

Actually I loved them all. I liked the thing with the plants and the greenhouse the most, because it had the most personal tradegy. ^^

I agree with OP, the Blood Bath one was my favorite. That said, I thought all of them were well done. The only one I didn't like as much was the first one, because it seemed far too obvious to me, but it is probably good to have a case like that right at the beginning so people can get a hang of the system...and it wouldn't be as obvious if you didn't find all the clues even still....

I hope for DLC cases added to this game!

The second case, the vanishing train. Just loved the scenery and the premise of being on the british country side. Had me immersed pretty intense.

I liked the second case, "Riddle on the Rails" the most. I liked the plot and countryside/train stations setting of that case.

I liked the theory of the blood bath, but the solution has been done in so many different shows that I immediately knew the murder weapon as soon as I saw it.. most disappointing.

I liked The Abbey Grange Affair even though it was quite short. It was straightforward and didn't slap me in the face with red herrings.

The conclusion of Blood Bath might've been my least favorite. I had a lot of question marks about the feasibility of both of the murder weapons in that location. And even after getting the "right" suspect and the "right" murder weapon I still found the conclusion to be kindof flimsy. I did like the actual investigation of the case, seemed like a throwback to Sherlock Holmes Awakened.

I'm only on the 5th case, I think, but so far: the Roman Baths one. I couldn't really get in to the Abbey Grange one, since I had just read the story it was based on and it pretty much followed it to the letter, so I knew 2 minutes into the case how it would end. And it being one of my least favorite of the stores, whether by Doyle, Horowitz, or King... that didn't help either. :-(

The train one is my 2nd favorite, but I haven't finished the whole game yet. These might change.

Ok, I'm done... I liked the Kew Gardens one; thought it was an interesting case, but the conclusion was so jumbled up that I'm still not sure what really happened. The evidence seemed to give 2 clear and precise outcomes, and I just don't care for that...

I guess the devs wanted to give the players a little more freedom to make up their own minds. Me, when I play Sherlock games, I want the solution to be water-tight and without a shadow of a doubt, like Sherlock usually concludes his cases. I don't care for the ambiguity.

But, I liked the game. Better than Testament, by a long shot, I thought. Although, the cases just seemed to be thrown together higgledy-piggledy and there wasn't any connection between them at all. Which would not have been bad at all, if the game had had some flowing narrative tying them all together, or transitions with a bit more substance to them in between cases. And the last case just ends, and Sherlock is sitting in his chair at Baker St. B-O-R-I-N-G! At least have Sherlock comment on the degraded state of human behaviour, or plan a trip, or ask Watson what the next case is. Not just have the game end all of a sudden and the credits start rolling after you click your decision for the outcome of the case.

Still, the environments of the different cases were well done, loved the sounds and the music of everything, the voice actors did outstandingly, and the mo-cap was top notch only to be beaten out by L.A.Noire's detailed characters. Loved C&P and hope many more SH games are made. If Frogwares made a thousand of them, I'd try to find a way to buy them all. Can't get enough.

The Vanished Train, I love the atmosphere, and the only case I got some unclear explainations and need to think for a while for the answer, while the rest I can easily get the shape of the answer without deep investigation comparing to The Vanished Train

Vanished Train -- I would have preferred to pursue a few more leads on the train location, but otherwise a very satisfying investigation. Blood Bath is a very close second.

I picked the Kew Gardens case, but looking back now I have the fondest memories of the Vanished Train. Liked the scenery, the environment, and the characters the best.

My favourite was the one with Lady Brackenstall (can't exactly remember the name of the case).
I loved everything about it - the atmosphere in the manor, the characters, the actual case. I just wish it was a little longer since it seemed to be by far the shortest one for me.

That was "The Abbey Grange Affair" based pretty much directly from the majority of the story by Doyle, up until the end, called "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange".

The book is much better, leaving me with the feeling that this case was probably the weakest of the whole game, since I already knew how the source story played out and it deviated quite a bit from the game at the very end. The book had a nice twist and one of the first times I can remember Sherlock not following the letter of the law, but deducing that someone intervened on Mary's behalf to protect her, and Sherlock testing him to make sure he was making the right decision upon giving his final verdict of absolution. It was a nice touching story and the game glossed over much of its emotional conclusion.

I guess I'm lucky I didn't read the book beforehand..
