 Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes: The Silver Earring review:
Pros: Intriguing, original story; faithful interpretation of Doyle's creation; excellent characterization; stunning background graphics, strong voice acting.
Cons: Frustrating control issues; missed puzzle opportunities; poorly implemented stealth and maze sequences; non-interactive resolution.
Bottom-line: An enjoyable story-driven adventure steeped in the lore of Sherlock Holmes. It sacrifices too much gameplay for narrative at times, and its missed opportunities keep it from greatness, but it's reasonably fun while it lasts.
