SHERLOCK HOLMES GAME

Througout the game the same eary, old fashioned writing style is used as that of the faint scribbles on the poster, which allows the player to associate one with each other. The game's aim is to use the clues to discover what has happened which is like the movie, so as you get involved playing it the interest of the film grows because you want to watch the characters acting out the mystery. The two players can choose to be either Sherlock Holmes, or Watson, which lets the player become more acustomed to the renovated original characters and want to watch the film finally. The way you can answer questions to determine whether your own personality is like Holmes or Watson makes it more personal. Once you have chosen your character there is a black and white photo of that character with a small description of what that character is like, which allows the player to understand exactly how this new, remade character acts. There is also quite eery music, which reminded me of the kind of music which is included in attractions dedicated to old London, which lets the player feel like they are playing these new characters in the same old London.

The game can be played on facebook, which is an extremely popular way of communication these days. So in order for the 'buzz' to be made and for popularity to come around, the game is released onto facebook and people can see when there friends are playing it and so they can to, eventually creating conversation about the film and excitment over the two main characters.
