Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective

EGM review
   The king of the detectives has now come to the Turbo. Not content with just a good detective mystery, NEC has contracted with ICOM to do something special and they came back with not one but three Sherlock stories that, for the first time, offer full motion video. Each case tests your deductive reasoning but, even if you solve the case you still can go back and try to get a better score than Sherlock got.
8 -This is the wave of the future! The game itself is a rough, but the technological leaps it makes are staggering. This is an interactive movie, featuring game play that possesses almost full motion video and is acted out nicely, providing the clues that make it a game.

9 -This is an example of the type of games we will be playing two years from now. It is revolutionary, challenging and years ahead of its time. The mysteries are the kind that SH would take on and have been made harder by setting a near perfect score as a goal. Phenomenal!

6 -This is the first of the live animation CD's for the Turbo and it really impressed me. The voices and the mouth movements don't match up but the animations are the most realistic I've ever seen. The mystery is very involving too. My only complaint is the game's easiness.

7 -Excellent!! The cinema screens in Sherlock are incredible! It's like watching a movie mystery unfold in front of your very eyes! The worst part about Sherlock Holmes is that only three mysteries don't last too terribly long. After you beat them, all you can do is try to beat Holmes.
