  • After watch Sherlock Holmes A Game Of Shadow, I decide to buy this game. Make me feel as Sherlock Holmes !!!

  • I played the game during Halloween (managed to snag it from a sale at Steam.) And I love it :D

    Though, does anyone know the song that's playing when you're in Holmes apartment at Baker Street?

  • @sgauden02, No. The Downey jr Movies are the worst interpritation of Sherlock Holme I have ever seen. Typical hollywood taking a fantastic story and ruining it. Holmes was never portrayed as the run-and-gun, Shootem up funny guy that Hollywood have made him out to be. Those two films are just action movies with the name Sherlock Holmes. Nowhere near the holmes legend. They were abysmal to say the least.

  • @IAmCaptainMarvel, no one in Britain says apartment in place of flat even in the 21st. Let alone the 1800's.

  • @MrDeano324

    I dunno, mate. I say flat and so do most of the people I know, but I've heard the odd Americanism slip with people I don't now and again.

  • Just completed "The Awakened" after "The Silver Earring" and "The Mystery of The Mummy", i am seriously falling in love with Holmes's voice, still prefer the look of him in The Silver Earring though, he is so much better looking in there x

  • Does anyone think they ought to do this story for the 3rd Holmes movie with Robert Downery Jr.?

  • @sgauden02 they are planning to I think

  • @qwerty44ification Did you hear that somewhere?

  • No Englishman would say "apartment" in place of "flat" in the 1800's, this was a time where Americanisms hadn't bled into the society of the UK, so everybody would sound appropriate to their country.

  • Beggin ya pardon mista Olmes, but yer mouth's too close to the microphone!

  • This game looks boring af, they do nothing but talk

  • They should make a movie about this with the current Sherlock Holmes series

  • run jack run

  • I have always been interested with Jack The Ripper. I love Sherlock Holmes, thank god someone made this game.

  • @InstrumentalsHere4U Oh yes, it's a really good game, sometimes a bit hard tho. When I was playing, I needed to look for help for 3-4 challanges. But yeah, it would totally worth it! :)

  • No Shit Sherlock

  • Can't believe no one ever said "no shit, sherlock."

  • Holmes is kindof a dick. /:'

  • @Sievr

    Holmes was always a dick. I guess people have this idea of him as an upper class gentleman who solves the cases, but does not hate those commit the crime.

    Although when you REALLY see what Holmes is like, you're more leaning towards Watson as the true friendly gentleman of the duo.

  • Shelock Homes...

  • NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!! KEEP SUCKING WATSON!!!! GO DEEPER HOLMEZ!!!!

  • Im going to pick this game up tommorow it looks pretty good but i hade never heard of it until a friend said i should try it .. Is it good?

  • @HollywoodUndead158

    i played it and it was AMAZING. all these tasks and puzzles are were difficult and very well done. the graphic is good, too. summarized: EPIC game :) i love these kinds of games! the only thing that bothered me was, that this game starts with the age of T.W.E.L.V.E.! i would NEVER let my child play these games if it is twelve! ( i live in germany, there starts with the age of 12 -.-)

  • @HollywoodUndead158 rent it. it doesnt take long to beat and there isnt much replay value

  • Grell Sutcliff is Jack

  • Jack the Ripper was detective,just like sherlock.

  • The dialogue sounds kind of wack, but the violence, well who an go wrong with that, eh

  • Jolly ow crapper, this game will take YEARS to finish :| holy sardine

  • what dos that newspaper read?

  • He only used a sharp pointed knife and usually split the throat from left to right. JAMES KELLY

  • 0:17 "In the name of my health and yours, Holmes, stop smoking so much! There is more fog in our apartment than in the street."

    And the room is crystal clear...

  • hi guys i have a little problem:i downloaded the game and install it it works just fine but then after 1 min.of playing voice in the game get a crush and i must reset the game in order to have voice again!does anyone know a solution to my problem??thanks in advance!!!

  • 3:16 - 3:22 FUCK!!!

  • Are you playing the whole thing from 1st person mode of 3rd person? I prefer 3rd.

  • Giggity........

  • I love Watson's voice actor.... Holmes not so much.

  • @mmmhhm i agrre he is speaking to quickly

  • is this on the xbox 360

  • sherlock holms tried to solve the case of jack the ripper????

  • @985gamer yes, they both are of the same era, the late 19

  • @985gamer well obviously he didn't in real life.... I mean we all know that Jack got away with the murders, so Holmes wasn't there, otherwise Jack would have been caught (that's the only logical explanation I can find, aside from the fact that Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character).

  • @985gamer He try to solve any case in earth!

  • @985gamer is it bad? good? odd?

  • @985gamer the game say so

  • @985gamer

    he was jack the ripper :3

  • @FedajIbnLaAhad Yeah, thanks for spoiling it.

  • @TheBillieWay

    Was he, really?! lOOloLoLo trololol what a fkin cheap cliche!! I just improved this in 10 sec XD

  • @FedajIbnLaAhad Well, I don't know, I took what you said for granted. I don't think I'm gonna play it anyway :P

  • @DrippyBrown

    Could it be that they were homos or might not, but, in both cases, your comments would be shit and you would just a mental retarded.

    I will not answer if you answer me, but I wanted to answer you for that.

  • @DrippyBrown

    either that or you are an idiot with no sense of style

  • nothing better than gentlemen talking. i could listen to their conversations all day. no need for anything else.

  • @NancyDrw... I torented it from piratebay. Also, you will need winrar, utorrent, and power.IO, you need that for any game torrent I find.

  • Does anyone know where I can download this game for free full?

    Without a virus?

  • People bitch about this games graphics and what not. But that's just how this company rolls. I have the other Sherlock games on my pc from them and everything is basically the same. Even the music just some different gameplay. I'm glad to see it stray away from pc though

  • i thought Jack the Ripper cut there throats when they was alive

  • 23 people [voted dislike] do no know who sherlock homes is!!

  • i wish people would skip the cutscenes in their videos. if we wanna watch them we can watch them on our game and just pause the video

  • @daniel55645 some people watch it for no reason like me we dont have the game so we can not do that

  • I hate when people say this game would be good playing as jack. No . it wouldn't . this makes a much better detective based game.

  • God, every time I see Holmes on a movie or in a game, he's ugly (except for when Robert Downey Jr played him). It's annoying

  • @DarkEcoMaiden

    Downey does not seem physically NOTHING to Holmes of Doyle's books (the only real Holmes). The Holmes of this game is more like him (except that the Doyle's Holmes had the aquiline nose and gray eyes). So, even if he seems you ugly, the only true Holmes is more like to Holmes of the game than your Downey.

    (Sorry for my bad English).

  • @alguien1234 I see. Quite a Holmes fan, huh?

  • @DarkEcoMaiden

    Yes, I know that it notices me XD.

    (Sorry for my bad English).

  • @DarkEcoMaiden I actually thought he was really good-looking here. >>

  • @LunarHelix1 Well, I have to admit he wasn't bad-looking in this game, but I think he could be a little better.

  • This game looks awesome, it would be even cooler if you could play as jack and do the killing instead of just watching it.

  • Is this game fun? i plan on just buying it at ebgames and just returning it once its done.

  • shit there accents sounds fuckin clean

  • Comment removed

  • Wait a sec, since when Sherlock Holmes smokes CIGARRETES!?

    Sure, he smokes, but not cigarretes. Not as I recall.

  • @JadenXYuki

    You're one of those people who have never read any Sherlock Holmes books and only know the stereotypes right? Yes, he smoked cigars as well.

    (Sorry for my bad English).

  • @alguien1234 Infact I did read Sherlock Holmes books, but when I wrote that comment I haven't yet encountered him smoking a cigarrete. Usually when I open up a chapter and read one book I see that somewhere in the middle of the story he mostly smoked pipes. So, I'm sincerely sorry if my question was misleading.

  • @JadenXYuki

    I'm really sorry if I responded a bit nasty, but I'm holmesian/sherlockian to the core and I'm sick of Holmes' false stereotypes for so many years, as well as this new thing of Downey, which also annoys me a lot.

    (Sorry for my bad English and my antipathy).

  • i love this type of stuff so KEWL :D

  • Wow, Holmes is a jerk :)

  • Can you be jack the ripper in this? And whats it for?

  • @MrSlagathor3 For t360 and no you only play as Sherlock Holmes

  • @MrSlagathor3 sorry meant 360

  • This game looks...fun...

    Is there a version for the Wii?

  • sherlock smoke tobacoo and opium right

  • Comment removed

  • the voices want to make me commit :L

  • @aidenmccloskey yes, I agree Sherlock could manage, and I do like Sherlock holmes. What I meant was that Batman is an equal genius but also has many more resources and gadgets. Eg he could locate him better over rooftops and use "Arkham Asylum"'s Detective mode or "the Dark knight"s Sonar to see him in shadowy streets

  • Pitting a famous, fictional detective against the most elusive, successful serial killer of all time, but how about Batman, the World's greatest detective. With his skills and gadgets, Jack wouldn't last long.

  • @InhabitantOfOddworld Sherlock Holmes was more than just a famous fictional detective. His genius and detective skills were almost superhuman. I believe Batman and Sherlock would have a close race finding the identity of the Ripper if Batman was reduced to half of his gadgets.

  • what is the most recent Sherlock Holmes game ?

  • @nxidplease This is.

  • wow this is boring ( no offence , it's my own opinion )

  • @firebolt25812345 I think it depends man,for some people is bored.. like the Ace Attourney games haha but there is a point when you get very excited on these games :) well is my opinion too xD

  • Personal impression or Holmes' voice is rubbish ?

  • @Aepullo68 It's certainly unexpected, but I think it's sexy.

  • When he puts his hand over the womans mouth doesn't he expose his fingerprints all over her??

  • @AMAURIS966 you cant tell finger prints on someone elses skin. at least not back in the 1800's when honestly. i don't believe they had finger printing at all

  • @AMAURIS966 this was in 1888 i dont believe they did the finger print in that time

  • @vuurwerkforlife122 fingerprinting came into law use in 1903, so your right about that mate

  • where's the coat and hat? Thought that was his trademark.

  • I thought that they didn't know yet at that time that smoking is bad for health, so why is Watson complaining?

  • @fablan6 As he says in that scene, Sherlock was smoking so much that the smoke was filling the room. It wasn't really because of the "health" aspect of it, it's just annoying to have a smoke-filled room.

  • @fablan6 Actually, some people were aware back then that cigarettes were dangerous, I've read a lot of books written in the late 19thc where people - sepecially those in teh medical field - have spoken out against it, but they weren't taken all that seriously

  • @fablan6 Watson had told Holmes in their first case together (A Study In Scarlet) that he didn't mind Holmes smoking because he smoked himself. But Holmes did it at times to excess especially when he was occupied with a case that was as he called it "a three pipe solution" like The Hound Of The Baskervilles when Watson thought 221B was on fire

    "Caught cold Watson?"

    "No it's this poisonous atmosphere" "I suppose it is pretty thick now that you mention it"

     "Thick? It's intolerable!"

  • This game is for PS, Xbox or what????

  • @rayomoreno8 i have it on xbox 360

  • oh god no...they made sherlock holmes a horror game...DEATH TO BASTARD CREATORS!

  • @Lev8300 i find the game very fun and interesting

  • motherfarker, Im trying to quit right now!!

  • @morph611 so quit or dont post retarded posts

  • He also injected morphine and cocaine into his arms, for mental stimulation.

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one with the frame rate jerkyness in this game. Other games like Aliens vs Predator (2010), Fallout New Vegas, Star Craft II, they work just fantastic with all the settings set to high on my laptop, but this game, even when I turn down settings, it still jerks around. After awhile I just got annoyed, turned the settings all to the max, and ignored it. Other wise, I love this game.

  • The proper formula to making a Jack the ripper game is using Assassins creed main-general statistics. I.E: instead of having Ezio, we have Jack. Keep the plot and setting. As well the 'never-get-caught' attribute Assassins creed has. That would make an GREAT game. Have detectives to kill, and prostitutes. Man, it's just like Grand theft auto, haha. :D:D

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot Jack the ripper never got caught if im right and Sherlock Holmes was the detective that was looking for him also Sherlock Holmes has an hyper observative eye for objects that will help detectives with an case

  • @IAmHoTSHoTzz ur right bout jack the ripper but sherlock holmes is a work of fiction numb nut, created by arthur conan doyle

  • @MrEvobear i know it started as a book... im not dumb... but that is Sherlock Holmes described.

  • man....sherlock holmes is arthur conan doyle. lol

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot You trying to make what that grusome killer did fun? How inhumane.

  • @1Historygenius "Man, it's just like Grand theft auto, haha. :D:D"

    GTA made it fun to kill prostitutes, people, ect; isn't that inhumane?It's a controversial game, yet, people still buy it and play it. If you're a history type of person then go bitch on Red dead redemption and see how Rockstar made killing (yet again prostitutes) horses, people, ect, FUN Including the fact it's historically accurate on ol` wild west days. Face it, dude, my jack the ripper idea would be awesome & fun. :-D

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot GTA and Red Dead Rdemption at least are humane. I have played Red Dead Redemption at least you are humane because a gun is better than using knife like the ripper though you have one in the game. GTA is alright but Jack the Ripper no there is a limit on how far you can go with blood and gore Jack the Ripper is way over it. Jack killed these women is a very brutal way especially Mary Kelly. You think it would be fun tearing up a women's body and cutting out organs?

  • @1Historygenius It probably wouldn't be fun, but that's why it's a game and not reality. Game developers have the freedom to put whatever they want into the game. If you find it disturbing, you don't have to play it. There is no limit in game design; there is only a limit to how much you want to see or experience.

  • @DesmondMoeller That is probrably why a game like that would end up getting bad sales and bad reviews.

  • @1Historygenius i think it would be fun ,cut heads ,lakes of blood ,18+ game

  • @1Historygenius Oh my God, it's not like the company slaps on a rating with the content it's suggested as?

    Oh yes, gta4, using a knife and stabbing women isn't gory at all. You know with all the blood and the stab wounds?Oh yes, you have a point there, sherlock. HEY!!You should be the sherlock in this game!!Since you are so smart!!

    And like it isn't the same way in red dead. I understand you guys don't like my idea, and my opinions, but it's a game. Learn to lay off.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot First off my name is not Sherlock also due to te fact that a character is owned by the respected owners you cannot create a great new Sherlock. Perhaps you are not aware how Jack the Ripper murdered his victims??? Maybe you should find out.

  • @1Historygenius It's unfortunate that you didn't read my comment fully. Shame.

    And don' try to be a smart ass, it really doesn't work out for people on the internet.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot The games of GTA and Red Dead I have played but that does not mean I like them. In fact they are totaly uneeded and influence crime. So in other words you do not know how the victims were killed by Jack the Ripper. The last murder committed was Mary Kelly. Her entire face had lost all her skin and the majority of her body was to with several body parts laid out on the table.

  • @1Historygenius So, a game based on sick crimes is a bad idea?

    So the texas chainsaw massacre game they came out with A LONG TIME AGO was a bad idea?Same for halloween game?Does the gore content of people dying in dead space matter? Do you think Rockstar knew people who played their games would do things such as kill innocent people? Do you also think Assassins creed is the same way? How about fallout? Be mature about the content, it's rated M for a reason.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot Just because it M rated does not mean it influeces people. Texas Chainsaw massacre, halloween, and others such as that are pointless as well as GTA and Saints Row they is no point to make these games but just make a profit off of people who like killing when they can really do something that matters. Assassins Creed follows in a more eductional time after all there were assassins, the pope, and Borgias were real so it is allowed because there is truth to that.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot The COD and other series such as that like that such as dead space and fallout are more leaving the realm of reality. Science fiction, nuclear war with the Russians, Nazi Zombies, and 1950s version of a rundown Las Vegas are ok the play to a certain extent. Call of Duty is in the modern world and has some truth in it connection to world politics of today. Fallout and Dead Space are science fiction garbage and are also not needed.

  • @1Historygenius They are not needed or is it cause you just don't like them cause of certain flaws that don't live up to your standards? "Hey, this game has no actual connection to real life or it's situations, there for, it's crap. Derp derp derp" As far as I'm concerned, Jack the ripper was real, so a video game with him should exceed your standards of reality-gaming. The fact I amped it more to be realistic like gta could be, is probably why people like it.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot No a game promoting violence is real only to a certain level. Educational games should be reported but why concentrate on a video game when you can go out and have a real life.

  • @1Historygenius "Assassins Creed follows in a more eductional time after all there were assassins, the pope, and Borgias were real so it is allowed because there is truth to that."

    Yeah, my idea follows the time of jack the ripper when he was around. There is truth in my game. Stop being a hypocrite.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot But that is too violent to be a game you see games like the Call of Duty World War 2 series or the Total War series those game also promote violence but despite the fact of all the killing in it you are fighting for a reason not fighting innocent women and chopping them up brutally. It is better to have a Jack the Ripper game where you play the detective and try to find out who the murderer is.

  • @1Historygenius And this game proves it doesn't work out too well. :)

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot This game only works out if you have an interest in Sherlock, JTR, detective, or the era it is in. This game does show the bad appearances of the bodies in some cases but only to a certain far. It does show the entire murder in which JTR is cutting out organs and all that and for that this shows some respect to what happened by not supporting the bloodshed but helping people become more of a detective. Good, we can use more people in the detective field.

  • @1Historygenius In red dead you could skin animals and you actually didn't see the process, just the outcome and the actions of the knife.

    Make the killings like that.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot I have to agree with you but the difference between Red Dead and JTR is that there is a reason John Marston is doing that stuff. He wants his family back and he is working for the government so he is bringing criminals to justice. There are some things Red Dead did not need but overall it is not a bad game because it is in the past and is not settled in modern day LA. For Jack the Ripper there are to many reasons to kill these women based on suspects.

  • @1Historygenius yeah I think its very fun

  • @1Historygenius uhhh you can get a knife in both those games...

  • @feanor your a sick person LOL!!!!!

  • @1Historygenius and assasins creed

  • @GALGALATZ123 You are not mutilating people.

  • @1Historygenius YOU TO

  • @1Historygenius I do!

  • @KabadathPM Well that is is sad. Another sad thing is that you would just have a knife and really nothing else.

  • @1Historygenius Nope. I Have my bare hands. AW YEAAAAAAAH.

  • @KabadathPM Jack the Ripper really just used a knife and nothing else. The game would have to be historically accurate.

  • @1Historygenius I Wouldn't be Jack the Ripper. I Would be a crook incriminating Jack the Ripper! Just like the guy that wrote the "From Hell" letter (Maybe), but, in a more extreme'n'psycho version.

  • @KabadathPM So now its not Jack the Ripper? So is the name of the game "the crook imcriminating jack the ripper". Remember that the Ripper only used a knife and only did 5 murders. There are others, but they are most likely not Jack the Ripper victims.

  • @1Historygenius It would be a Bonus Char! Yes! A Bonus Char on a Bonus Chapter!

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot At first i was about to make fun of you, then i remembered that you are a gayfat retarded faggot. You did that to yourself already.

  • @blasterfx5 At first I was about to make fun of you, for liking yu-gi-oh..but you're 15.....and like all 15 y/o olds....you like to make smartass comments on the internet....oh well, you're just a victim of LULZ. Feel proud to be a LOLCOW

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot Who said i like yugioh O:

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot you should pitch this idea to the AC creators or just make a machinima using Brotherhood's miltiplayer

  • @723PanTera Since I posted that comment I got exceeding amounts of hate mail cause there was a mother concerned that her child might look up this gameplay and see my comment about "how it would be fun to kill prostitutes." - I could pitch them the idea, if I knew how to. :P

    I mean, where are the AC creators?How do I set up an appointment? Trust me, if you left me some info...I'll do it.

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot well Ubisoft published it & these are the deveolpers

    Ubisoft Montreal

    Gameloft

    Griptonite Games also Patrice Desilets created the game, plus their busy on a Assassin's Creed revelations now

    I honestly don't know how to get a hold of them but don't loose that idea it's good, we need a descent Ripper story with gameplay that's like Assassins Creed sicne this probablly how the ripper moved around

  • Comment removed

  • @GayFatRetardedFaggot YEAH! And while we're at it, let's make a game where you play as John Wayne Gacy and rape and kill children!

    You have to understand that Jack the Ripper was a real person, and not just a fictional character like Niko Bellic.

  • @SargentMugen Yeah, and you have to understand gaming companies have made games of Jack the ripper, (except this one) where the content is gory yet speaks about the history.

    I'm saying amp it up a bit and actually make it seem more realistic and more of accurate JtR. Horror games have been around a long time, dude, but none of them had an accurate gameplay to what the actual thing it was suppose to be about.

    All I'm saying is, we need a better Jack the ripper game, that's all.

  • @SargentMugen Besides that, if you find the "free-roam killing spree" offensive like some people have complained about being "inhumane," then actually play the game and it's objectives. (if it ever existed)

  • 4:46 lololol, Watson scolds Holmes on how to be nice to people. All he hears is, "Holmes! Blah blah blah blah!"

  • grrrrrrrr watson is a hypocrite.

    he smokes??!!!

  • ahh, i see there this game skips frames too...code i guess, i had to turn shadows off, they eat frame rate most.

  • Sherlock's voice is sexy lol

  • @TheBeatleChild ahaha, lol, his voice fits to Jack the Ripper, actually :P

  • @TheBeatleChild he is voiceover "Rick Simmonds"

  • I can't wait to play this!!

  • this game took a step back into the 90's graphics...

  • this reminds me of Druids - a PC game back in the 90's

  • 0:30 I think Sherlock wasn't speaking about cocaine... :P

  • Jack The Ripper!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Is this game any good? I've picked it up in a shop so many times, and then buy another game.
