Sherlock Holmes Crimes & Punishments - Xbox 360 Game (Retro Fam)

Crimes and punishments follows everyone's favorite sleuth through a series of distantly related cases, allowing you to not only have your parlor scene, but decide what should happen once you have your man.The graphics are nice and feel very much like the PBS series. Nothing is razor sharp crisp and everything has a softness to it that feels very appropriate. The voices are spot on and the actors actually put some decent emotion into their characters.The gameplay is somewhat hit and miss. The mini games feel a bit forced, and while the option is always present to skip, the mini games are so difficult to understand sometimes that the difficulty of the puzzle isn't issue, its that the puzzle mechanics aren't clearly explained. I spent five minutes trying to put a plank in place on a hole shaped exactly for it, not realizing I had to put the plank in place last, I guess.The moral choices are nice. You quickly learn that the first "victim" is a drunk monster, so is it really a crime? Well, it depends on who you finger, as you can get the culprit wrong by chaining together a logical sequence with only one or two clues out of place. The difficulty though is somewhat artificial. The clues are somewhat bizarrely put together and some of them are so obvious that you think they can't really mean for you to put "rain" and "wet" together to get Holmes to go "Indeed! Rain IS wet!" But are otherwise decent, and the game does at least tell you when you have 2.

Don’t bother spending the money on the official controllers. I paid for the official NES ones (50% off and still more than I wanted to pay). These are equal if not better quality than those. The connection to the Switch has been flawless, simply turn it on and go!I haven’t used it for other devices but that is a sweet option that you don’t get with the official ones.

Who would ever thought the that these would ever make a comeback. IMO its one of the best controllers of all times, and including the joysticks to make it moder, it's just perfect to use in any situation. With the type c quick charging and long battery life, you'll be taking this thing with you everywhere you go. You can connect it to your phone, pc, or any console and it'll work perfectly.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It's not a game for those who enjoy non stop action, rather this game makes you think, put pieces of the investigation together in different ways, and come to a conclusion. However, you're NOT always correct, and you may end up accusing the wrong person(s). If you enjoy games that require thinking critically, logic, and makes the time go by very quickly, you'll enjoy this game immensely. I was disappointed when it ended.

This is a good game, though it has some flaws that can be ignored such as bad animation and graphics that's like an early ps3 game. One major complaint from me is that I personally don't like the way the cases are designed. Even though the game has a correct answer at the end of a case, no matter what you picked the game still says you're right in a certain way. I just don't like that. Otherwise a decent game.
