    A wonderful package. Don't wait on the bargain bin for this one, as it is worth the price from the get go.

    Luckily, despite the linearity, the story, characters, and dialogue is compelling enough to keep you going.

    This title is very well put together, with an interesting mystery to solve and lacking the frustration so common with many adventure titles.

    The skill in the art and voice acting will probably convince you that you are indeed back in 1897 London, pursuing a murderer or murderers with all the skill and passion locked in your little Holmesian heart.

    If you're like me and you've enjoyed other investigative games in the past, then you'll probably like this one, too, but if you're hoping for a true adventure, then you should probably look elsewhere.

    The game does move at a slow pace, but with such a complex case to unravel this is no time to rush about, eh, Watson?

    With any luck, this game is only the beginning of a rich, rewarding series. [Jan 2005, p.96]

    For anyone wanting to try out adventure games then they should give this a shot, Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Silver Earring is probably the best adventure game out right now.

    An interesting game for those who love the genre and a totally unimportant one for the rest of you.
  11. 1UP

    The atmosphere here is thunderously successful, and its strength makes this a recommended play all by itself.
  12. Just Adventure
    75
    It's so annoying when a game is so near being great and falls short because of a lack of attention in a few areas.
