Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis


Hello friends are you fed up of playing action or strategy games? then you have visited the right place. Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis is a game which really require some great patience and tones of thinking.This is right way to refresh and sharpen your thinking.In this game you have to think in another way then usual.Lets see what the game is all about ?


Sherlock Holmes is a game about battle of wits between all time famous detective Sherlock Holmes and archenemy Professor Moriarty.But this time Arsene Lupin stands in for Moriarty, a French thief who remains a hugely popular literary figure in France.This new combo fails to compete with the great Holmes-Moriarty showdown as suggested by the title.


This part of adventure begins with the great detective and Watson ensconced at 221B Baker Street.By challenging Holmes and Dr. Watson to prevent him from stealing priceless artifacts,the whole city of London was seething with arguments.Their aim was to foil the obnoxious Frenchman by stopping these thefts. He plunders famous spots as Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery, and the British Museum but leaving behind cryptic clues.


Without completing each and every small task mentioned you cant proceed to next level,that,s the tragedy of the game.Especially during the opening of National Gallery episode,you’ll find the clues you need to start checking out paintings and tracking Lupin's next target, but you aren't allowed to do so until you've completed every last little busywork job, such as measuring all of the footprints spread throughout the gallery.


With the introducing of 3D engine the locales are brought to live allowing you to roam the full depth and breadth of your surroundings.The investigation takes you to every corner of the city,.The National Gallery and British Museum, feature scanned copies of dozens of famous paintings, as well as numerous historical artifacts. Holmes, Watson, Inspector Lestrade, and the many quirky Londoners with whom you deal during the course of the adventure look more like shadowy, poorly sculpted wax figures than real people.But the voice acting is poor with stilted and odd pronounced dialogue. At least the musical side of the audio is just about perfect, thanks to a subtle-yet-tension-building classical score reliant on strings and piano.


The toughtest and most probably the boring part of the is solving the Puzzles.It really takes ton of busywork and immence patience.Some of them are no sorted out keeping you guessing what to do next,especially when it comes to set-piece problems, such as arranging paintings into some kind of unknown pattern, building a wooden star to unlock a chest, and lining up metal rods to form Roman numerals.By the smart use of Holmes' famous magnifying glass and keeping a close eye on surrounding,helps to solve puzzles with ease.


Even though despite of all this drawbacks Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis is worth playing.The puzzles remarks the intelligence of the great detective.With so much mystry’s and excitement you’ll enjoy playing it and will come to know about the “HISTORY”.
