Like the way it was built with clues and that you could test out different ways how the evidence and actions played out, if it made sense or not.
   Really like that you could solve the case wrong and frame the wrong person and that you have moral choices as well.
   
   The only negative part with the game is the loading time needed between all the zones.
   
   Recommended to all that likes detective games.… Expand

The puzzles are fun and the environments are constantly changing. The world of Sherlock Holmes is beautifully created and you feel totally present in that world. The music fits perfectly and contributes well to the mood. I played until the early hours of the morning thinking it was only midnight, totally lost in the world. This game is not for someone looking for a lot of action but if you want to live in the world of Sherlock and Dr. Watson for a while or even Toby the best nose in London you should have a good time with this game. I sure did. Thanks developers for a great experience.… Expand

If you can handle the frequent loading screens and slow pace of theSherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is a game that demands patience. If you can handle the frequent loading screens and slow pace of the game, you will be rewarded with a finely crafted game experience that captures the heart of Sherlock Holmes and his adventures. Crimes and Punishments is a game that takes getting used to. Players may be at first off put by the awkward controls of Sherlock, but switching to the newly added first person perspective eliminates this hassle. After getting used to the controls, you will be free to enjoy Sherlock's adventures. Crimes and Punishments is comprised of 6 cases that vary in locations which helps keep the game fresh and exciting to see what the next case will bring. The game uses the Unreal Engine 3 and it definitely shows. The environments are very detailed with bright colors that pop. There are some areas that are gorgeous and will have you admiring their beauty. The sound design is also excellent with all the voices for the actors well voiced and the environments come to life, the music is also fittingly mysterious and creepy. The game really excels at putting the player in the shoes of Sherlock Holmes from investigating the crime scene, interrogating suspects, analyzing clues, and finally deducing what happened. One significant fault with the game is that sometimes it doesn't explain fully what you are supposed to do in a certain sequence or puzzle which can leave the player lost as what to do. Luckily you can skip any puzzle, but the tutorials for these parts still should have been explained better. Another problem that can grate after awhile is the lack of variety of gameplay mechanics in the game. I got a bit tired of the formulaic structure of the game. I also wish the investigations were trickier, because most of them were pretty obvious who the culprits were. Overall though, I enjoyed my time with Crimes and Punishments. I'd recommend this game for fans of Sherlock Holmes and players who like to solve detective mysteries.… Expand

   Crimes and Punishments is a game that takes getting used to. However I didn’t feel emotionally engaged when playing the game. I didn’t feel I could finish work and go home, switch the Xbox on indulge in this game.
   
   Crimes and Punishments is made up of 6 main cases that vary in locations which helps keep the game fresh and exciting to see what the next case will bring. However the cut scenes don’t really helps its cause as I’d much rather it be an open world game and me travel there myself.
   
   The environments and landscapes are very detailed with bright colours that pop out when playing. The sound design is also excellent with all the voices for the actors well voiced and the environments come to life, the music is also fittingly mysterious and creepy. The only issue is, after watching numerous Sherlock Holmes movies I didn’t feel the game quite projected what I had expected.
   
   However, the game really excels at putting the player in the shoes of Sherlock Holmes from investigating the crime scene, interrogating suspects, analyzing clues, and finally finding out what happened. So I guess more or less it involves doing what is says on the tin.
   
   One significant fault with the game is that sometimes it doesn’t explain fully what you are supposed to do in a certain sequence or puzzle which left me lost and specifically bored. Luckily you can skip any puzzle, but the tutorials for these parts still should have been explained better I think
   
   Another problem that can grate after a while is the lack of variety of gameplay mechanics in the game. I got a bit tired of the formulaic structure of the game. I also wish the investigations were more open because you could more or less guess who the suspects were.
   
   Overall though, I enjoyed my time with Crimes and Punishments. I’d recommend this game for fans of Sherlock Holmes and players who like to solve detective mysteries but it’s not as action packed as the films are and that was a big disappointment. Full Review @ItsMuchMore… Expand

   Dreadfull "game", I don't know whats worse the tedious backtracking between the same few locations or dreadful mini "games" which break itDreadfull "game", I don't know whats worse the tedious backtracking between the same few locations or dreadful mini "games" which break it up. The arm wrestling being the worst of these, if once wasn't bad enough you have to do it multiple times or you can't progress, why??? For all I know there was a third and fourth attempt but I uninstalled it after the first realising that I had already wasted a couple of hours of my life on this dross.… Expand
