Excellent game but way too short!
User Rating: 6.5 | Sherlock Holmes: Mystery of the Mummy DS
It's always very hard picking a game after putting down a really good one, so Sherlock Holmes', The Mystery of the Mummy was going to have a lot to live up to (just finished Zelda, Spirit Tracks) but it filled the spot admirably. It was highly engaging and had some really good puzzles to solve. Like all games of the genre, you just have to look at everything, pick up everything and think it out. There were no instances of trying to pick up things you couldn't actually see which is always very pleasing and the it also has a built in help if you get really stuck. All in all, the game would have got an eight if it hadn't been for just one thing - the game is incredibly short! Sinfully so! I don't think I've ever finished a game that quickly and it left me begging for more. For that reason alone I'd have to say that this game needs to be picked up from the bargain bin to be worth buying because at the full RRP, sorry it's just not long enough to warrant the money.
