Gamer's Hell
The hardcore puzzler might find The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes a bit elementary...yes, I went there. But a casual gamer and certainly a younger sleuth will have a lot of fun with this game.

GameZone
These games are enjoyable, but more for light, casual fun than an exercise in deep thinking. The interface is easy to navigate and the gameplay easy to understand.

AceGamez
A thoroughly enjoyable game that's made distinctive by the excellent use of graphics, sound and writing to immerse you into the world of Sherlock Holmes.

Simple, but fun. It's a decent game that needs more depth. [Issue#9, p.60]

Where the Great Detective failed, a quick trip to the shops prevailed. [Jan 2009, p.71]

Jolt Online Gaming UK
To be frank, we found the whole set up to be utterly bizarre. The simplicity of the puzzles and the interface coupled with the almost embarrassingly slender storylines mean that this might suit an undemanding ten year old if you’d rather them play something that didn’t involve machine-gunning Nazis.
