The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes - new hidden object game
Rejoice, hidden object game fans! The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes has just been released exclusively by Big Fish Games and it’s a winner. Each level of the game presents a mystery for you to solve with Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson.
Each level of the games allows for two types of hidden object search. Conventional play provides you with a list of items to search for within the scene of the crime.
The second search requires the player to find the differences in two views of the same scene. The items identified are then presented as clues to solving the mystery. The minigames wherein you’ll find out who committed the offenses are pretty lame, with the solution handed to you instead of requiring your deductive powers. Ah, well - how hard would you expect to have to work at it with Holmes and Watson as partners?
A magnifier is always available to help you locate hidden objects. You’ll need it. Some of the items on your search lists are very small and well-disguised. Make sure you find Sherlock Holmes’ deerstalker cap and pipe in each scene. Finding them will keep you well-supplied with hints and other bonuses.
A variety of minigames will give you a break from hidden object searches. None of them will strain your brain, but they’re a fun diversion. I liked the game enough that I’ll be buying it so I can play more. You can download a free demo at Big Fish and play for an hour before you make your decision. The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes can be purchased for $19.99, or for a discounted price as low as $6.99 for Game Club members.
