Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper
The Sherlock Holmes franchise is pitting you against Jack the Ripper, and letting you battle your wits against his on the Xbox 360 on November 26th. The catch is that you’ll have to be in Europe to acquire it. In its transition to the 360, French studio Spiders have tinkered with the light and shadow system for newly adapted visual effects to suit the console. They’ve also released new screens for Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper that you’ll find below.
The adventure game lets you switch between third and first-person views to your liking, including while you scavenge your crime scene for clues throughout your investigations. The game looks quite quaint with its suave 19th century vernacular. Let’s see if you can solve the mystery of Whitechapel, London that police officials never could.

Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper allows you to take on the role of one of the most popular detectives of all time. It's 1888 London, and a series of particularly horrible murders takes place in the Whitechapel district of the East End of London where atrociously mutilated prostitutes' bodies are found. The police are unable to find a serious lead and the murders increase, creating paranoia and fear among the citizens. Sherlock Holmes starts looking for clues in the dark and sinister alleys of Whitechapel in order to follow the macabre trail of the one the press now calls Jack the Ripper. During a frightening adventure, Sherlock Holmes will try to bring out the true identity and the motives of the one who hides behind this scary alias.
The Sherlock Holmes series is known as one of the best franchises in adventure games and is acclaimed by critics worldwide. The detective starts his very first case on Xbox 360 in this game specially adapted for the console by the French studio Spiders. The game benefits from the specificities of the Xbox 360. This console version has its own new visual effects such as a new and realistic light and shadow system that truly gives life to the many characters and adds more realism to each one of the gorgeous scenes.

The player will also find an original crime scene re- creation system that will allow him to test his theories during his progress in the investigation to follow the bloody trail of the terrifying serial killer.
