"Don't give up", "Search further", "What to do next?" & "How to do it?" thos

Adventure lovers will enjoy a well-crafted challenge and great story, but a few hiccups keep it from being perfect.
Quality adventure games are increasingly harder to come by. With so many of today's adventures being little more than Myst clones, finding a game that is unique both in its mechanics and in its storyline is a quest in i... Read Full Review

Sherlock Holmes is a perfect Adventure game character & this game makes the best use of him.
Finally a great brand new Adventure game that deserves attention of the gamers. Adventure game titles are becoming rare nowadays with many arguing in favour and against this genre. To me, this kind of games adds to the d... Read Full Review

Nearly very good.
Puzzles are cleverly set and can be solved by due diligence, just remember Holmes's methods - the clues are there. very satisfying when the answer comes for the tricky ones. The graphics look as though they are from a wh... Read Full Review

The immersive atmosphere and story make up for this game's somewhat numerous shortcomings.
This game's ambitious and engaging story, interesting characters and locales (save one) make up for the game's problems, including some incredibly (nearly impossible) puzzles, and technical problems. The game's story ... Read Full Review

The puzzles presented in this game are okay, but both gameplay and graphics are below standards.
The Awakened is not what I expected from a 2007 adventure game. Although it features a couple of nice (however not really innovative) puzzles, its graphics are way below standards. I must admit that I'm a bit biased as I... Read Full Review

An Interesting attempt to combine the Victorian England of A.C. Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and H.Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos
Sherlock Holmes - the Awakened is the third game in Frogware's series of Sherlock Holmes adventure games. Each time, they try to re-invent the wheel and each time, they largely succeed but there are always a few nigglin... Read Full Review

This game uses your mind and also sometimes your body to solve the puzzles you are to require to solve... yes questions.
This look like a simple crappy boring game, but inside of it, it is one good game. Graphics: wow, amazing and its pretty good too. When you see a old man, it really look like a old man because of the rinkles and veins... Read Full Review
