"Red Johnson’s Chronicles is certainly one of the more interesting titles on PlayStation Network – for just R95 you get a jazzy, noir-ish tale of murder and deceit with beautifully rendered backdrops and challenging puzzles. Although it will take you a good five hours or so to finish, the story itself accounts for a mere fraction of that, and feels more like an episode of a crime series than a well-developed narrative."
Red Johnson’s Chronicles wants to be the type of old school adventure game where you have to take notes to succeed. This is all well and good for a PC or console game, where you’re free to pick up a pen, but it proves to be a fundamental flaw for a mobile game.

"Red Johnson's Chronicles is an investigative point and click adventure game by Microids, developers of the critically acclaimed Syberia series, as well as Still Life and Jules Verne's Return to Mysterious Island 2. Having made its way to the PSN in 2011, Chronicles has finally been released on the PC. Is this a simple open-shut case for Red? Or will some further investigation be required? Read on to find out."
Looks like a good game, but the score is making me think twice about getting this game.
