The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes - a review

I'm playing the game on a MAC, but I'm sure it's the same for a regular PC as well.
The game is not what I originally expected. I thought it was something like 7th Guest (which I loved) with puzzles to solve as well as character play. But it's more like a combination of I Spy and a Photo Hunt game.
There are about 16 cases to solve, each case is given a time limit of no less than 25 minutes. The cases get "harder" to solve as you go along. It's not so much an increase in difficulty as it is an increase in the number of puzzles you need to "solve" the cases. Unfortunately there's no real thought involved in most of the puzzles and there's no logic used to find the culprits. It's mostly finding hidden objects or identifying differences.
If you like The Mystery Case Files games, you'll like this Sherlock Holmes game, it's very similar.
Since it's not the game I expected I'm a little disappointed with it, but it's kind of fun. You can also skip the corny dialogue which is a nice plus.
