Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper is an adventure game for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360, developed by Frogwares in 2009.
You play as legendary detective Sherlock holmes and Dr.Watson in the Whitechapel district, in 1888 where you are trying to stop the brutal killer Jack The Ripper. Within Whitechapel lived some of the counties poorest inhabitants, such as alcoholics, theif's, beggars, prostitutes and many Jewish immigrants, while rest of London was blooming. Thousand of people crampt into a tiny dark area with narrow dirty streets, where you now have to investigate a series of murders.
You have to inspect each body and crime scenes closely for clues, interrogate suspects, witnesses, learn the dark secrets roaming the streets of Whitechapel, while each murder brings you closer to uncovering and stopping Jack The Ripper. I played this game twice, just because i love the Sherlock Holme's games and this one is my favorite. I love mystery adventure games where you have to twist and turn your nugget to complete. I advised plenty of people to try it and they all had good responses when they completed it, so it is a must try if you like that type of game. It's addictive and i didn't stop until the game was done. For rating it when i played it in 2009, i would have given it a 8\10 just because I would like side missions and an open world where i could explore, trade- buy and more.
