My 12 Year Old Loved This Game!
My daughter loved this game. She enjoys working her way through the mysteries. They hold her interest because it takes some skill and a little luck to get the answer. I like the fact that she isn't bored with it or finished with the game in 5 minutes. My daughter and her friends have bought and traded many of the Nancy Drew games. The new ones are more user friendly than the older ones.

Great for all ages
I grew up with Myst and Riven, and I still have as much fun today playing the ND games with my daughter. She stayed excited and inquisitive the entire game. It lasted two weekends of nonstop riddle-solving. My daughter loved interacting with all of the characters, and reasoning out on what to ask each suspect. She also enjoyed all of the logic-based riddles and puzzles. We had to help her on a few of them. But the hint book and the interactive help with Nancy Drew's friends was a big plus, and didn't let my daughter get too frustrated. I recommend this for ages 8 and up. With some of the younger kids, the parents will have to help them along. Some of the puzzles were complex. We took notes the whole time (even though the game stores notes that you can call up at any point in the game). The interactive notebook also has a check list for the user to check off when a task has been completed. This really helped to keep my daughter organized and focused on the task at hand.

Great game, great fun
Do you imagine yourself solving a century-old mystery about an old miner, Jake Hurley, and his mysterious wife, Camille?

Do you see yourself meeting the Hardy Boys?

Do you daydream about helping one of the Hardys to make burgers?

Are YOU Nancy Drew?

If you said yes to one or more of those questions, this game is absolutely for you.

The Nancy Drew games are AMAZING! They're quite difficult to solve (seeing as I need walkthroughs!) but possible, and hugely entertaining. The nice thing is, parents don't have to be worried that their children will be glued to the computer monitor for hours not thinking at all--Nancy Drew completely requires you to think. My best friend and I played this game together and had such fun with it! I'd also like to point out that the graphics are magnificent--basically as life-like as it can get. Frank and Joe Hardy are a great addition to the game... in the last few games in the series, Nancy was able to call them, but never actually see them, so it was a nice part of the game (and pretty funny at times). And creating burgers to help Frank (or was it Joe?) in his part time job making..take a wild guess... burgers.

Anyhow, the only annoying part of the game was the ending. I found it to be a bit weak and not really worked on as well as it could be. In Stay Tuned for Danger, the ending is completely creepy and thrilling--I got goosebumps! But this one... well...you'll have to see for yourself.

On a lighter note, I'm sure you'll enjoy the game, despite the odd ending, and I hope you have a WONDERFUL time with it.

Go solve that mystery, super sleuth.
