Hi Becky!

I think what confused me was all of the pieces of the storyline...it started with kidnappings, then your in an insane asylum, then there were ship wrecks, and finally cults, etc. I think because it was weeks between my opportunities to play the game, everything got too compartmentalized for me...so I really got lost in how everthing fit together.

I agree, it was a complicated plot. And it would be harder to follow in pieces. Why, oh why does real life have to break up our gameplaying?

If you liked the game well enough to play it again, I suspect that the plot would fit together neatly on the second playthrough.

I see that you played the game twice in your review. I think playing the game a second time through would be helpful....although I suspect my "copious free time" will neither get more copious nor more free. Retirement is years away...and I'm not lucky enough to win any lotteries any time soon. Plus...I have this ridiculous sense of "duty" and "responsibility." Oh well...I guess it's my job that affords me the ability to buy all of these wonderful games!

That I will probably have to wait until retirement to largely enjoy.

Did you ever see that Twilight Zone with Burgess Meredith where he never had time enough to read? Cataclysm occurs and he's left with all the books and time in the world! And he accidentally breaks his sole pair of glasses.

I hope I have better luck!

By the way, I enjoyed your review and it painted a very accurate picture of the gaming experience with this game. Thank you for writing it!

Thanks for the compliment!

I didn't see that particular Twilight Zone episode. Be careful what you wish for, eh?

'HI'Does anyone out there,,know if the 'latest, newer,or newest' U.S. release version of 'SHERLOCK HOLMES AWAKENED'has ? removed or eliminated 'Spinning around 'Vertigo effect you get when playing, in this Newer Version, ? ]dizzy n spinning
'WILLIE DAY'

Willie,

As far as I know, it's the same way as the European version. So might still get the 'spinning' movements.

Please post at Glitches. They might give you tips on how to lessen the spin.

BTW, I toned down the volume of your post.

Boy !!! I really wish I could have played this game..

But unfortunately, I got sea-sick
I do hope the developers change the panning interface..
:/
