Overall, Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper is a nice enough adventure if you’re interested in the Jack the Ripper murders. The game stays true to the facts (even introducing real suspects like John Pizer and Francis Tumblety), it makes the investigation fun and believable, and it even presents a reasonable theory about what happened and why nobody was ever arrested.

Worth Playing

Up until the finale, Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper is a compelling adventure game that largely does things right to appeal to both fans and non-fans of point-and-click games. However, things come to a very unsatisfying conclusion that will leave almost everyone scratching their heads and asking, "Really, that's my reward?" Coupled with occasional game-crippling bugs (one investigation had hot spots that were activating the wrong hot spot, forcing me to restart the game) and subpar audio, it becomes a little difficult to recommend the game as a purchase.
