Fun

No box, no Manuel , no cover art , no extras .. Just the CD in a blank jewl case.. The description and photos show the pc big box. I’m aware that amazon groups together different sellers but there needs to be more information about what you will actually receive

This sequel to Serrated Scalpel is definitely worth your time! Whether you're a hardcore Sherlock Holmes fan, a mystery lover, or a Victorian-era enthusiast, this is the game for you.The story is very deep, but very engaging (you really must take notes to keep the facts straight). The atmosphere of this game is entrancing, making sure you'll find yourself immersed in the Victorian London. The dialog is witty witty and the characters are quirky. Best of all, the characters, plot, and locations are well within the realm of the original Sherlock Holmes stories. Hardcore fans won't find themselves rolling their eyes at all.There are only two drawbacks to this game:1. If you get stuck, it is very time-consuming to visit all of your locations to be sure you didn't miss anything.2. The routine Sherlock and Watson go through every time you enter and exit 223B becomes tiresome after the first few times.Overall, this game is totally worth paying for. If you can find a copy for under $50, buy it! If not, you'll have to decide what your willing to pay for one of the best Sherlock computer games ever created.

First of all let me state that I have played almost all Sherlock Holmes games except Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper and the puzzle games that are made for mobile phones. With that being said the Case of the Rose Tattoo is by far the best of them all, followed closely by it's predecessor, the Case of the Serrated Scalpel.The Case of the Rose Tattoo is a very complex case which begins with an explosion at the infamous Diogenes Club and the subsequent injury of Mycroft Holmes. A very distressed Sherlock initially wallows in his own sorrow but then decides to take matters into his own hands since Lestrade once again proves inadequate. After discovering that the explosion was caused by an incendiary device he begins to untangle a complex web which will lead to a confrontation with many powerful adversaries...Despite the complexity of the plot, the main deductions are done by Sherlock himself as the game progresses. The characters and the plot are very well designed. In fact I have never seen a better plot in a mystery game or Sherlock Holmes movie. What is also amazing is the vast amount of information present inside the game about Victorian England. The game designers really paid attention to historical accuracy and it shows.Two words of caution:1) Before playing this game I recommend playing (or seeing a YouTube walkthrough of) the Case of the Serrated Scalpel. It is just as good as this one and, since it preceeds the Case of the Rose Tatoo, some things will not make sense to you if you don't play it.2) There IS the occasional pixel hunting in the game as well as some frustrating interconnection where you sometimes have to "look" at a certain item to "unlock" a dialogue option and proceed. All this can make the game frustrating sometimes but overall a mystery game is first and foremost dependent on the plot. And that's why I'm giving this game five stars.The game is afoot!
