The controls are on the whole very well managed, only in narrow passages, it came to me occasionally that the character "stuck". Of course you can play the game again, both in the third-person perspective as well as from the first person perspective. I personally like the latter better.
The graphics are certainly not so great as with other current PS3 games. Still, I find they have succeeded in the Victorian London looks really good. The light, water and fire effects look realistic. Only with the facial animations you would have put into stuff more. The sometimes dramatic music wears well in the quite gloomy atmosphere of the game.
By the way, it depends on my PS3 Slim (120GB, latest firmware 4.25) so far to no stuttering.
All in all you can "The Testament of Sherlock Holmes" So all fans of adventure games recommend. I did not regret buying!
