Inspector Smythe from Scotland Yard has informed Watson and me of the murder of General Armstead, a Tontine ticket holder. Something about this case intrigues me. Perhaps it ís that the General was about to publish a scintillating addendum to his infamous book on treasure.

will start off by saying that this game has very little to actually "do" in it, it is more of an interactive story almost, but not quite. The object of all three of the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective mysteries is to gather clues by deciding on what people and places to visit. Once you have gotten enough information to solve the crime/s you will go before a judge and he will ask a few questions that you must answer correctly. Getting to the judge and answering questions using the fewest amount of clues that you can will give you a score. The goal is to solve the mystery by using only as many clues as it takes Holmes to solve the mystery. There is not a lot of replay ability in the game except if your score doesn't match Holmes' once you have solve the mystery. I wouldn't expect it to take very many playthorughs to match Holmes scores. If you like Sherlock Holmes , or some not too h
A retired military general is found dead in his study. The only clue left behind is a tin soldier figurine that is facing the opposite direction than all the other soldiers in the collection. Is this figurine somehow linked with the identity of his murderer? The best way to look at these Sherlock Holmes cases of which their are three, this one being the best in my opinion is as interactive novels. The actual gameplay is minimal but the stories are interesting and you slowly read through the clues question the witnesses and when you have the murderer worked out present the case to the judge, and thats all she wrote. The fmv scenes are for the most part excellent, they are dated but thats to be expected given the age of the game. All in all if your looking for a quick diversion down fmv memory lane this is a pretty good time.
5.0/10 - The Third Mediocre Sherlock FMV Installment! If you've played (or Reviewed) one of these games then you have played them all; essentially the exact same game split up into (3) different mysteries. They could have easily had a better game if they combined these for a single more complete game. As Sherlock Holmes, you will be tasked with figuring out who killed the retired General. The meat of the game is sifting through newspapers to find clues which perpetuate you to navigate to various locations to question potential FMV subjects. The acting isn't bad for the age and budget of this game; but it’s definitely not "Sherlock Holmes" in my opinion. Watson and Sherlock definitely don't fit the bill like I am so accustomed to. Spending more than 1 hour on this title would be a stretch so plan accordingly. Worth $0.99; you can usually get all 3 installments for a couple of buck
Another weak case dragging down a good system. Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective is a sweet system for playing short one-shot murder mystery games but just like The Case of the Mystified Murderess, the case here doesn't do the system justice. There's not particularly any mystery to this case. No intuitive leaps needed. Just follow every lead to its conclusion and the culprit will all but be dropped into your hands by the end. It feels less like a mystery and more like a police procedural. The score system is pretty uncharitable too, but even less so in a case whose "challenge" is in presenting a lot of apparently valid starting points and asking you to brute-force your way through until you find the thread that, when tugged upon, unravels everything else.
Pretty enjoyable FMV whodunit that harkens back to the 90's Sega CD days. The points system will make you want to re-do the case in a much more efficient manner, but don't let that stop you from exploring all clues like they do in detective shows on tv :)
Playing this little full motion video game is just like taking a history lesson, one about the era of early multimedia efforts that at the time, early 90's, was the next big deal. It was, but not too much for videogames, since this kind of stuff was suffering from replay value and that was it demise. Interesting, also, these games were released, late 90's, for regular DVD players. Honestly it looks just like old TV shows, cheap ones. The main thing is to solve a mystery using clues from newspapers and visiting suspects. The less fooling around you do the best score you achieve. Once you have enough evidence you go to the judge and present your case. That's pretty much it. There's nothing else. Now, is this any good? Yes, if you like retro stuff. Yes, if you're a Sherlock Holmes fan and you just like anything with SH on it. Yes, if you also like very casual games and rather short ones o
