WAY TOO SHORT - OTHERWISE GREAT !!!
Having payed all Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games, this one came as a disappointment. And the main reason is its length. It is way too short for the price, and for what we used to get before from Frogwares. I absolutely adored the previous games: 'Chapter One' and 'The Sinking City', which both are at least 5 times longer. Then the VERY FEW additional side cases, which were almost a joke. The longest could be solved in 8 minutes !!! All together they could be solved on 20 minutes max. Although nice, the wardrobe could be better. Instead of 'borrowing' it from the previous games, do please create new ones from the scratch, so that we do not pay for the same outfits over and over again. Otherwise it is a great game. Frogwares is fantastic at giving psychological depth to their characters, as they are are in creating mystical atmosphere. Portraying Watson as an equally important person in the duo is a great idea. Sherlock would not be who he was without Watson, and vice versa. They are a true team, which is heartwarming, and something I always look forward to enjoy in their recent games. The graphics are great as well, which is another Frogwares' trademark. In fact I would not have any complaints if the game's price reflected its duration and therefore costed substantially less. NOTE: I am looking forward to a new game, BUT please either make it last as 'Chapter One' and 'The Sinking City' for the same price, or lower the price.
