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

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.

somewhat off topic-but is there any other movie out there other than Murder by decree-that is Sherlock holms vs jack the ripper?

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

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.

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'm a huge fan of Spider Solitaire, myself.

Made the mistake of introducing the bride to spider on the Ipad, now I'm lucky to get tea. But she still can't beat my low moves.

I don't like playing complex games on the pc, as I am (thanks to a long-ago ear/head injury) almost completely left-right dyslexic in situations where I can't stop to ponder which is left and right, and often I just mix them up anyway despite best intentions (having backed into a river trying to go forward, and driven left into a tree, trying to turn right, I also do not drive in the interests of public safety). PC gameplay is just too fiddly.. I find a great lumpy controller helps, for some reason. Playstation is actually a bit easier than X-box for me, probably due to the fact there's a lot less L1&2, R1&2 action on PS games.

GUT, X-box is amazing. Though I make the kids plug it all in, like a proper fogey, it's actually not too hard to figure out. I'm enjoying Dragon Age: Inquisition a great deal, presently, despite having never played the previous related games (which are a bit clunky, in comparison). I urge you, sir, to get hip.

My kids had all those, X-Box, Wi Atari [from original to 64] and I'd join in from time to time, was actually a wizz on ol' Mario Cart and one my son had based on James Bond.

But of course all that went as they go.

.. by which I don't mean 'get a new hip'.

Think I'll need one soon.

G'day Rocky

Once upon a peanut I programmed computers, but have never played a game on one.

Other than patience.

They make a pc version gut

Sounds interesting, pity I don't have an X Box and probably couldn't play one f did.
