I keep waiting for more Penny Dreadful games, because this one is so very good, The HOS segments are creepy but you can identify the objects and you don't need a magnifying glass. The story is classic, but the inspector (horrid little man) leads you through the story from a quite different angle.

There is a map, which is a great assist in helping you through the story. The locations are all rich ...Show more

There is a map, which is a great assist in helping you through the story. The locations are all rich and complex and really are part of the story. The mini-games are challenging and in the CE at least, you can practice them, which is fun to do. The game is complicated and straightforward at the same time, which I find very interesting. I play this game over and over, and I try to improve my skill level, which the game measures. The only con: I have to turn all the sound off in the final mini-game because I can't tolerate the voices. I usually skip through the music, too, though it was great to hear the first time through the game. Show less

I recommend this game!

Enjoyable game. Lots of HO and a good flow to the game. The HO will keep you looking hard but you do have a hint button if needed.

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this one very much...Creepy, challenging, great graphics and sounds. I could of played this game forever I'm guessing because I was disappointed when it was already over and of course because I was so into it, hehe. But of course when I say Johnny Depp Flashback, it's not the movie all the same, but it was fun.
Thank you Big Fish,
Perry:)

I recommend this game!

This was a simply great game and the amosphere and music brought memories of the show and the film floading back. I wish now I had spent out on the CE. I loved the voice overs and the little comments made by the Iinspector " I just fancy some fish and chips" etc. and his comments when one tries something not logical.
Well Done. graphics superb. Loved the map lay out so one could jump to and from ...Show more

Well Done. graphics superb. Loved the map lay out so one could jump to and from locations and best of all a tick when there is nothing left to do.
My only criticism was there were no puzzles instructions. Working out how to do the puzzles was almost more taxing than completing the puzzles.
Lovely Lovely game waiting for the next game. I hope Big Fish when announcing their next game will be referring to Sweeney Todd. Then I will not miss it Show less

I recommend this game!

Not a single thing about this game I didn't love, Long play time, great HO's, great visuals, great music. flowed well. Loved this game.

Well, the one thing I don't love is that, as of yet, there is no sequal.

I recommend this game!

Even if you've never seen or read Sweeney Todd... from the original 1920's movie based on the original play or one of the more recent versions, you'll undoubtedly appreciate the the game play value in being in the detective role in this surprisingly good game spin-off (if you can take the gruesomeness with a grain of salt, so to speak, haha#.

Anyhoo, as the story goes, the barber #Sweeney Todd# and the charming baker #some say a true tale) shared a common feature in their respective shop cellars... a passageway and a hankering for a relationship with each other. The two collaberate whereas the barber robs unsuspecting rich fellows coming in from the ships from the harbor and the baker 'disposes' of the poor deceased patrons by making meat pies for her shop. Win-win... well, more like win-win-lose taking into account the unfortunate dearly departed who get more than just a shave.

So, I thought the graphics were excellent in this game... true to the time period and the SFX/music and characters, everything... all really good from beginning to end. Definite replay value as well.

Cheerio! Show less

I recommend this game!

However, the one thing that drove me nuts was the man's voice, he drove me crazy, making comments all the time, but I did enjoy it, I muted the sound in the end.
When you reach the end of each part of the story, you get a round up, telling you about your progress, you may find, you have missed some puzzles, so be very careful when playing the game.

This was one of my favorite games so far. The graphics, music, story, and puzzles were all far superior to some of the other games I've tried. I really enjoyed this one (despite the "operatic" interludes) on all levels. I will definitely be checking out other Play Pond games to see if they are of the same caliber, as well as other Penny Dreadfuls. Great fun, well done!
