Sherlock the Math Wizard:
I wanted to love this game and I more or less enjoyed the prior adventure, Sherlock Holmes the Awakened. This particular adventure pits Holmes against a French master-thief, Arsene Lupin, who plans to regain the honor of his country by stealing a variety of English treasures. The graphics are much as they were for the prior game but what is interesting is the detail given to the actual historic sights. I've been to the Tower of London and it was amusing to see it in the game modeled with great... more info
Fun game:
SH Nemesis deserves four stars. I thought this was a fun game, with a well written story and mostly well though puzzles. This was really a labor of love by the developers, play it and you will likely agree. Negatives: some puzzles were frankly too hard for anyone without too much free time, a walkthrough will be necessary to complete the game.

In-depth Story and Lots of Gameplay:
The latest installment in the Sherlock Holmes software mysteries does not fail to disappoint! This game is very long and in-depth, and provides quite a bit of gameplay. The puzzles are clever, and you're never left wondering what to do next. It is definitely challenging in parts, but the curiosity of what will happen next keeps you moving along. I highly recommend this to any Sherlock Holmes fan. This was wonderfully different from the previous release, "Awakened," which was very dark and gruesome in parts.
a drag:
I got about half way through. I really enjoyed it up until this one point. I had to keep figuring out the same kind of thing over and over again. The fun was totally drained out of the game at this point. It was a burden. I never finished it. I have these games for my enjoyment...not for tedious tasks that drag on and on and on and on. I will read all the reviews of the next Sherlock Holmes before I buy another one. This game became SO bad that I did not finish it.
