Old but gold
Have to say this game is most consistent in story, compared to "Devil's Daughter" (where some cases does not make sense at all) and "Crimes and Punishments". Engine is a bit aged, but playability is solid. Good game if you are into adventures with mini-puzzles, this one can keep you occupied for a day.

A good adventure with a few bugs
My wife and I have been enjoying solving the puzzles. At times the mechanics of the game are not obvious and get in the way, but a quick trip to the universal hint system website usually provides what we need without giving too much away.

Very good story in an aged container
Very good story. However, the old mechanics are sometimes annoying. The voice acting is riddiculously bad.

Sherlock Homes can't win
Sadly to say this is an idea that probably looked good on paper but was undone by its own premise very early on. Set during the historical Ripper killings, Sherlock investigates the deaths of each of the canonical 5. The name given to the 5 victims police are certain were killed by the ripper. Given the historical nature of the Killings, you become aware that you are always going to be one step behind the killer and not be able to save any victims and of course the conclusions to the acutal identity of the killer is based on the acutal police suspects of the time. The game does make good use of the deduction board mechanic, but in this instance becomes a deduction on rails game. You can't really go wrong on this one at all. The game is then padded out with the usual pointless busy work and infuriating silly hard puzzles. One involves a bizarre moving block puzzle were Sherlock is trying to pry out a medallion from a floor board, which also has 2 planks, 2 bottles, 2 spoons, 1 comb, and a hand mirror to block progress - this had a 30 step solution to follow, and I had to google it. Puzzles were never Frogwares strength. No wonder then that they would go on to add a skip button to these puzzles in later entries. As an historical curio, it is superior to Nemesis as it tries to be a game of deduction not puzzle solving. Sadly its a case the Great Detective cannot really solve and feels very unsatisfactory in its conclusions.

Celui que j'apprécie le plus !
Mon préféré ! J'ai adoré cette ambiance sombre et déambuler dans les ruelles sordides de Londres. C'est vraiment réussi ! (Même si, il faut l'admettre : ça manque de monde !) J'ai bien un reproche à faire : quand on examine des victimes, celles-ci sont représentées par des dessins... Bon, je vois où ils veulent en venir, c'est sans doute par "respect". Le problème, c'est que ça me sort direct du jeu ! Comme le nom l'indique, l'enquête est concentrée sur Jack l’éventreur. Et celle-ci est prenante et variée : des puzzles avec des morceaux à remettre à leur place, des recherches, etc. Pour arriver à une conclusion, nous devons "résoudre" une "timeline" qui décrit précisément les évènements. Il faut répondre correctement aux questions et mettre les preuves adéquates avec. La difficulté est raisonnable. J'ai pu tout faire sans aide, c'est suffisamment clair et expliqué. En suivant la logique, on y arrive ! Je ne peux que vous recommander ce jeu surtout pour sa petite scène finale muette avec seulement une musique !
