I played this game long ago (when it was fairly new, I suppose) and while I don’t remember it being as frustrating as this review indicates (which is probably just because I didn’t have very good taste and failed to blame bad games for being bad) I do remember how silly the last few scenes in the game is. It really does suddenly catapult into cartoonish territory. After all that police procedure and dry dialogue you lasso a dog and it literally pulls you halfway across the city.

‘Doing Favors for NPCs’ 
that is one adventurous song ...

There’s Heavy Rain (if you accept that as an adventure game), where there’s not only the possibility to die, but if a character you control dies, the story will continue with that character being dead.

It’s the game’s developer herself, Katharine Neil.

Strange trailer but I like song ....wonder who is singing it ?

I love this series and can’t wait for more iPad reviews! I have an XBOX, PC, and laptop, and by FAR I love playing games on the iPad.

I bought Sherlock Holmes after reading this review. I liked the storyline and gameplay. Good if you feel like a grim murder mystery. Controls are pretty unfriendly. One great tip! In New Orleans, change back to FIRST PERSON MODE during the chase scene! It’s fun that way. In third person it just sucks!

I have to agree with Moonbird. These graphics are among the best I ever saw in an adventure. But since reviews are by definition subjective and personal,I have the habit of reading always with a ton of salt.

Very happy to see the good review.  The game’s flaws have been well discussed by now, but what I think this review highlights is that when the game is taken as a whole package, the flaws seem more minor.  For some, this has been true since Ep 1, but it seems to be so for more players now.  So far, this has been the most entertaining adventure game I’ve played in a while.

Thank you Evan, what a great review! This made my morning. So glad to hear you liked this Episode so much!

How cool is that: an adventure in which you can die! I think the last time I saw that was in the Tex Murphy games.

Great list but I think you forgot Conquests of Camelot: The Search for the Grail, that game was very very good, I think more than the Conquest of the longbow. Anyway, great list, they are many games I didn’t know.

I don’t know about a boxed version, but lately Daedalic has been doing worldwide releases on Steam and other download services. I assume this game will follow the same pattern, but not sure if they’ve come out and said so specifically yet.

I think its kinda funny lsl1 reloaded isnt even listed on the hype lol.. then again, its something we’ve all played for sure so I guess it’s not quite as exciting as the rest of these..

I’m personally most excited for dreamfall chapters, spaceventure, quest for infamy, mage’s initiation, broken age and hero-u.

this looks awesome. i missed the first
