Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper

[RockySullivan]

The only reason I would recommend getting this game is to walk around the murder scenes but the game play is VERY limited

Every location is miniaturized -- streets are a lot shorter, places are a lot closer to each other -- so you don't really get a real feeling of places such as Buck's Row and Dutfield's Yard. But the game does have a good grasp of known facts.

I started playing this game a few years ago... but got bored rather quickly, I admit I am not a gamer at all though.....the style of play made me feel a bit sick too....but it was interesting at first....never finished it, figure I got about 1/2 way thru... what happens at the end.. I don't mind spoilers.. i'll never finish it

Interesting question. I don't know of any other movie, but there is at least one novel and a few comics about this match-up.

Also off-topic, but perhaps of interest to some here, I have seen advertising for a new Sherlock Holmes comicbook/ graphic novel series which looks as if it will be set in our favorite part of London.

Yes, 1965's A Study in Terror is another Holmes/Ripper film....probably others just nothing comes to mind at this moment

You may drag the mouse over the hard-to-see text below to see the spoilers:

The killer is Jacob Levy, and the witness who refuses to testify against him is Joseph Levy (the Mitre Square eyewitness), because he is related to Jacob. Would-be suspects like Walter Sickert and Francis Tumblety also appear in the game.
