 Definitely NOT 5 stars, 2008-03-05
My conscience wouldn't let me leave this item with a 5 star review. My sister and I both agree that this was the worst of all the Nancy Drew Games. This was the only one where we got stuck and had to let the game sit for about 2 years before becoming desperate enough for a mystery game to go back and finish it. It's dry, dull and did I say "Dry and Dull?" Don't let this be the first or only Nancy Drew you buy. In fact, you should only buy this in the 4 or 5 pack like Nancy Drew 75th Anniversary.
The very first episode is difficult to maneuver since you have to change discs, but at least it was cute, set in a high school and a diner. The next couple of games are a little difficult to move around. But, by #3 Message in a Haunted Mansion and #4 Treasure In The Royal Tower they really start getting good. The best are (my order): Nancy Drew - The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Nancy Drew - Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island, and Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. Though short and without as many fun puzzles and challenges, Nancy Drew: Secret Of the Old Clock and Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek were both very cute. And we still like to go back to Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave to go fishing, snorkeling and make necklaces.
I hope you have fun with these and I fervently hope that some other companies would catch on that there is a market for this type of lighthearted and low-violence gaming!!
