User Submitted Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-11-11 All RIGHT! Phew - I'm relieved to be able to recommend this game. I've played them all - in order. And I really didn't enjoy the last two, so I was a bit concerned. But Her Interactive got a lot of things right in this one! Interesting mystery, with the puzzles relatively seamlessly integrated into the plot. Not too much repetition of tasks - hooray! The only reason it wasn't perfect, for me, was that I really didn't learn too much. My favorite games are the ones where I walk away with a bit more knowledge of something than I had before going in. And this one - not so much. I also had a small objection to the ending. The "treasure", so to speak, was completely out of the park. There had been nothing to indicate leading up to it that this was what we were seeking. And, as a history buff, I hated seeing such a "treasure" indeed relegated to the back-burner and used as a throw-away at the very end. Date: 2006-11-02 It's pretty good I liked this game. The graphics were amazing, and the mystery was interesting. It was a bit more difficult than the last ones, and you could only use your cell phone to call Bess and George when the game would allow. Unlike the previous ones, where you could call whenever you needed a hint. They were never home this time until they wanted you to be able to call. Even the camera in the phone was kinda useless, because after a few pictures it ran out of memory. I thought the mystery was a bit complicated to figure out, but it was very fun. Overall, I liked the game. There were just a few things that I wasn't too crazy about. Date: 2006-10-31 Nancy Drew Rocks! I've done most of the Nancy Drew games now, and a couple CSI and Law and Order games. Nancy Drew has better graphics and is actually harder in some cases than CSI. I also had so many problems with bugs with the CSI and Law and Order games, not so with Nancy Drew. And a real plus is my 7 year old can play them with me. Date: 2006-10-15 Interesting, and fun Alright. Herinteractive, I admit, did a great job. A few parts I didn't like though... I felt that the Hardy Boys were supposed to be better than Nancy Drew, and considering that she is the main character, that was slightly depressing. I thought the new cellphone was awesome, except for the fact that I never used the camera on it. Maybe some others found some use for it. The puzzles were deliciously hard, and it had the right amount of challenge in it. The characters were OK. The graphics were lovely, and I was glad that we didn't have to stay in a rickety old train all the game. I'm looking forward to playing the latest nancy drew game!! Date: 2006-10-15 Fast moving! This game was great! It's easy to get stuck at the beginning, but after you get off the train, it goes by really fast. In this one, Nancy is on a train that might be haunted. Lori Girard (your host) invites a bunch of people, including Frank and Joe Hardy (you actually get to play as Frank in one part of the game). Then odd things start happening on the train: Lori disappears apparently in thin air, then the train's emergency brake is pulled. This is a really fun game!
