Out of the gate, for those of you who loved the first part of this adventure "Sherlock Holmes: Awakened" - this second chapter is `nothing' like the first. In `Awakened' the storyline and mood was very dark (something that I look for in a point and click game), this second/sequel is nowhere near dark and though it's really fun to bump into some of the old characters from the first game and stroll through familiar area's, "Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis" just didn't have the flair that the first game did. I stopped playing half way through (even with a walkthrough) and started playing "Darkness Within".
1) The scripting & dialog were very good, the voice acting was well done
2) Graphics performed well and the environment had zero glitches
3) Overall performance of the game to include installation was solid
4) Storyline was good but was too cat & mouse with the villain; not enough horror. Was expecting a darker theme due to the first chapter of the 2 part series, nixed a star for this.
5) Clues, hints, and adaptability to continue game play was harsh (for sure requires a walkthrough; nixed this star due to many clues being too obscure.

I like the storyline but some of the puzzles were tough and hard to figure out. I didn't get enough information to point me in the right direction without a walkthrough.Personally I didn't like the quiz. I think the game would have been better without it. The graphics were spectacular. I enjoyed the paintings and visiting the different locations around London. If you like Sherlock Holmes then you would like this game even if you have to use a walkthrough.
 Very enjoyable experience. May 28, 2008

Sherlock Holmes Nemesis is a truly enjoyable adventure. I found Nemesis to be much more enjoyable than the previous Sherlock Holmes Awakened. The menus and inventory are more user friendly, the story is much more believable, the graphics are excellent, making the overall experience much better.
There are some really well done places to explore here... the British National Museum, the National Gallery, Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Each place is designed beautifully and is a real pleasure to explore, especially since this game is in a first person style 3D mode instead the standard adventure 2D.
The story is really intriguing too. Sherlock Holmes confronts Arsène Lupin, the gentleman-burglar made famous by the literature series penned by French writer Maurice Leblanc. The battle between Holmes and Lupin takes place in the late 19th century London. Lupin tries to steal paintings and other valuable items across England and Holmes must stop him.
The difficulty is a little high but that doesn't take away from how good the game is. In fact, I would find it hard to believe that most people could play this game without referring to a walkthrough. I used a walkthrough on the most difficult parts only and I still had a wonderful time with Nemesis. This is one of my favorite adventure titles.
Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis May 14, 2008

Overall, a moderately enjoyable experience. The difficulty of this game is very high. The linkages between the clues and the storeyline were at best, extremely subtle. I found a good walkthrough and followed it as a tour guide. I became an observer instead of a slueth. It was a pleasent experience, but could have been more.
