I thought it was kind of tiresome, constantly going back to collect something else from somewhere you were just at. it is not in my opinion a $14 game, maybe $4 but not 14.
I don't recommend this game.

Sherlock Holmes - The Secret of the Silver Earring
Help Sherlock Holmes solve a string of grisly murders! Team up with Dr. Watson to find the person responsible for these crimes.
Game starts with a story in movie format. I like that. It's not a short movie, several minutes long. It gets you into the story. From what I can see, there are no "hints", you have to figure it out on your own. When he says he needs a hint, he means to pick something from the inventory and show it to whoever he's talking to or use it for something. He'll also say other things to send you in the right direction if you are lost. To me,an middle aged woman who doesn't play a lot of games, it's a challenging game but that makes it worth the money IMO. You get to use the magnifying glass, the test tube, travel around to different locations. Act as Sherlock and Watson at different times. I think it requires patience cuz you really are investigating and asking questions of the characters. It's not a real fast paced game.
I recommend this game!

I liked the game, it wasn't too hard and it is easy to get hints. I wish it had more than one ending, that would make it perfect. It took several days to finish playing about an hour or more a day, so probably at least 6 hours to play it all the way through, I'm not an expert game player. It was good fun, mystery, together with games, puzzles, and good graphics. I recommend it.
