Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper is not without its shortcomings. Some of the puzzles make you want to hurt people, some of the acting and writing is laughably bad, and its poor 3rd person controls are incredibly annoying. However it partially makes up for this with a decent story and interesting murder solving puzzles.

Those of you checking out this review to find out if this is a fighting game involving historical and literary figures are going to be sorely disappointed. There will be no Abraham Lincoln vs. John Wilkes Booth. You cannot recreate presidential grudge matches and have Teddy Roosevelt face off against Taft. And you cannot attempt to change history and prevent the fight between Mel Gibson and his dignity.
