I agree with most people...too short and too easy. Sad. It was a disappointment. I had such hugely high hopes, because Death in Scarlet was so great. I'm really happy I waited for it to come to Shockwave. With the first one, I was really into trying to solve the mystery...this one I didn't care as much. The story wasn't as intriguing or as in depth. The graphics looked like there were some good artists working on this and some not so good and it didn't have continuity. Mixed the good with bad, so it just was jarring (I'm talking about the cartoon parts). One thing that was a problem was the sparklies indicating where to find everything...too easy and made it boring. They should have had hints for what we needed to find - with words, instead. More thinking that way. I still gave 3 stars, because I would have liked it more, if I didn't know what a step down it was...so I'm trying to be fair. Please, please do another more like the first one!!!! Give this Review a KudosReport as Inappropriate
