 Best Game Ever, 2007-01-03
I had been wanting a Nancy Drew game for a long time, and I finally got this one for Christmas. Some of the puzzles are pretty hard, but I finally figured them out. I'm 14, so take that into consideration. Doing the intelligence test was hard, the answers are so easy!!!! Just think simple, whats obvious. Some of them I didn't do when I was suppossed to, so that would have helped. I don't care what anyone says, this is a great game. I think the plot was pretty good, it could have been played out longer, but it fits. Be sure to take everything into consideration! And take the job at Tubby Telegraphs, despite what some say, it's a fun to see what some people say.

Fun For All Ages!, 2006-12-03
Secret Of the Old Clock in the Nancy Drew series is fun for all ages. I'm 62 and this is my fifth Nancy Drew game. Some of the Nancy Drew games are so difficult as to be frustrating. Not so with Secret Of the Old Clock, the puzzles are challenging but not so much so that one becomes so frustrated they need to look for a walkthrough.
I could actually solve most of the puzzles without a walkthrough, but I did go to a hint site for one puzzle... not bad for me!
I don't think it necessary to go into the story and characters because the reviews before mine have covered that extremely well. But I do want to encourage people to play this game because it is a excellent one. I read a poor review for this product on another site and almost didn't purchase it. So let me assure you, this is an excellent game. The graphics are fantastic and none of my character faces were blurry.
What I liked best was being able to drive a car around the town. It was so much fun. Often when I play these Nancy Drew games I get stuck in spots and can't figure out what to do next. In this game there is constantly something to do and lots of puzzles to solve and because they are not terribly complicated like the puzzles in The Curse of Blackmoor Castle, you feel great when you are able to solve them yourself without help. I never did finish The Curse of Blackmoor, I felt it was too complicated with all the chemicals, gods, and formulas.
I loved the Secret Of the Old Clock characters, I love the sense of humor that is always present in these games. I don't mind at all that some of the puzzles don't fit into the story exactly... they're fun and that is all I care about. I loved the miniature golf game and I think that after a few tries things sort of go your way and I'm convinced that might have been worked into the program that after so many tries it gets easier. I know I'll return often to replay the miniature golf and try to better my score. I played it four times before playing under par for my prize.
Whether or not you are a grandmother like me, a young person or middle aged, you will enjoy this game.

 Not Her Interactive's Best, 2006-11-11
Oh, I wanted to like this game. I've played them all. I was so excited to find out that Her Interactive was going to be able to make a game based on the first 4 yellow-jackets (original books) in the Nancy Drew series.
I loved Nancy's car - until I realized I was going to be subjected to completely pointless errands in order to "make money". I hate repetitive, mind-numbing tasks. And this game had it in spades, unfortunately. It was beyond ridiculous.
I enjoyed some of the puzzles/challenges - but they weren't worked into the plot terribly well.
Finally, it was just too short.

Nancy Drew's First Adventure, 2006-11-06
Although this doesn't follow the original book, it's a combination of several stories, it holds the 1930's flavor. The design of the scenes are appealing and there are enough puzzles throughout the story. I don't know if this is with all the DVDs, but with this one I had to keep the mouse pointer a half-inch or so in front of the car in order to move it which sometimes proved a bit annoying. In playing it twice, now, I've discovered that you can solve the clues in a different order and still come to the same conclusion. Nice.

The Secret of the Old Clock is Fun Time Spent, 2006-09-17
Its no secret that I'm not a fan of point clicks. They seem to be harder, in general, on my computer than 3-D action games, which is something I'll never understand (unless it has to do with the copy-protection software).
I've played through three or four of the Drew games. "Secret of the Old Clock" was the most fun for me.
I liked the golf game, and the sewing project...I actually was proud when I finished the sewing side quest. I liked driving around in the car. In retrospect its analogous to guiding a magnet through a maze. I had fun none-the-less. I stumbled a little with the CB radio...that got a little convoluted and bizarre, but I did it.
The other games were either too hard or too easy. This one will keep you occupied for a little while...this one will employ an element of fun.
