Review of Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis

Sherlock Holmes Nemesis is a truly enjoyable adventure. I found Nemesis to be much more enjoyable than the previous Sherlock Holmes Awakened. The menus and inventory are more user friendly, the story is much more believable, the graphics are excellent, making the overall experience much better.

There are some really well done places to explore here... the British National Museum, the National Gallery, Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Each place is designed beautifully and is a real pleasure to explore, especially since this game is in a first person style 3D mode instead the standard adventure 2D.

The story is really intriguing too. Sherlock Holmes confronts Arsène Lupin, the gentleman-burglar made famous by the literature series penned by French writer Maurice Leblanc. The battle between Holmes and Lupin takes place in the late 19th century London. Lupin tries to steal paintings and other valuable items across England and Holmes must stop him.

The difficulty is a little high but that doesn't take away from how good the game is. In fact, I would find it hard to believe that most people could play this game without referring to a walkthrough. I used a walkthrough on the most difficult parts only and I still had a wonderful time with Nemesis. This is one of my favorite adventure titles.
