Well, I couldn't get into it.   The whole thing is just too clunky, the interface, and there's so much to do.  Plus, even though it's a brand new sealed game, the FMV skips.  Plus the acting is f*cking terrible, and the English accents in most cases are laughable.

It's like someone had an idea for a great game and got an accountant to make it.

The FMV skipping is due to the way it was encoded, I initially thought it was a problem with my disc as well. I think in Sherlock Volume 2 that's fixed since it's a Super CD with more memory.

This sounds silly, but did you try cleaning the disc?  I got Sherlock 2 brand new a few years ago and the FMV was skipping.  I thought my lens was going bad until I noticed a clear, filmy residue covering half of the brand-new disc.  I wiped it off and the CD played fine.

I think I blew on it, but the game would still suck! My only TG16 game, go figure!
