Gamer reviews for Sherlock・Hidden Object Mystery

I think the Sherlock game is fabulous! I love playing it. It certainly is challenging. The graphics are unbelievably amazing! I only wish there was a guide to tell us certain things we can't figure out.

I think Sherlock - Hidden Object Mystery is a FABULOUS game. The graphics are spectacular! I like that you can choose between the search mode or the Find a 3-match mode. It's challenging and a fun way to pass the time.

Fun, and interesting that they base it on literature. Expensive to play though

Was 5 until they removed the ability to change search mode. Makes it difficult to finish daily challenges if one requires a certain mode. What were they thinking....or not?

I'm playing 4 G5 games right now. They are all unbelievably awesome! They have great story lines and the artwork... is truly (I don't know the right word) prizeworthy? Unbelievable. I hope someone is winning awards for this, they deserve to be. My only wish is that I had a little more time to complete a level and that it was easier to find some of the tools and items for assembling a collection. All in all this is a very well done game; professional, fun to play and unique desigin.

It is a fun and challenging . Always gives you a sense of accomplish to finally locate something you just could not find or complete a match three after many tries.

Brilliant game Absolutely love it. Spend far too much time on it.

Excellent, can play all day never runs out of energy.

This is a good game for spending a little relaxing time. There’s no goal, no ending, and no winning; it just keeps going on and on. So there’s no rush, stress, or tension. However, it has some flaws. You have to be disciplined enough not to spend a lot of money or it can be very expensive. Also, there are occasional glitches. The latest one for me is the screen dims and everything stops working. I have to close the game and reopen. The other frustrating thing is the Match 3 games seem odd. Pieces don’t fall as you expect. I’ve been trying to figure out the algorithm and it seems like some of the results aren’t random, they’re built into the code. I hope I’m wrong because it might suggest the developers are purposely creating situations that would provoke the player into spending money. For example, you’ve used all your turns on a Match 3 game and you need just one or two more moves to win. It’s very tempting to use some jewels so you can get more turns, but you have to spend cash. That pattern happens frequently. I could be a mediocre player and that situation might be random, or it could be part of the algorithm.

*) I find the game much too difficult. It is no fun when after just a short time you don't find the objects anymore because they are "invisible". That is not fun.

*) Also you get too less resources to play (like energy).

*) At the beginning you could use play-money to open a next chapter. Since the book about the secret garden you need two more levels for opening a next chapter. That takes AGES!!! You also could open it with diamonds - but they are always SO rare.

*) So now you collect all the money but you can't use it ANYWHERE. What's the meaning in this?

*) There is no description for the game. I play it a year now and still don't know a lot of features of that game.

*) Sure, everyone want their players to buy things with real money. But I would rather invest some if I'm not feeling "cheated" to do it but when I have really FUN in a game.

*) The graphics are wonderful though.

I like it so much! I like that you can choose to play either hidden object or match three.

The more you play this game the more addictive it gets!

Great fun and vivid graphics that are awesome. A lot of talent and time is included in this G5 game. Very well done and money well spent!

I think the game is a blast. It does take some cash to buy the rubies and coins and other items but I feel it is worth the entertainment cost for me. Colorado Termite

Love it. Addicting. Wish there was a way to get energy more.
