Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper is a solid, well-crafted tale about two British icons, one heroic and one villainous, and their fictional clash in Victorian England that's well worth checking out if you can look past a few problems. The story is strong, the presentation is quite nice, and the gameplay is user-friendly for both fans and neophytes to understand. Both the first and third-person control schemes work just fine, and there are plenty of brain-teasing puzzles and interesting deduction sections to work through on your way to catching the killer, which should keep your interest for a bit. -
