Customer Reviews

Finally, one I can finish
For the first time in about two years, I was able to finish one of these games. There are no puzzles in here that require you to attempt them 80 zillion times in the hope that you might luck out once and be able to continue the game. No sneaking past guards (thank GOD!), no spraying for bees, and no fox and geese. Best of all, you don't have to out-fight, out-run, or come up with some counterintuitive scheme for escaping the bad guys that requires randomly clicking on everything in sight hoping you luck out again.

This game flowed nicely and was mostly cerebral. The drum puzzle is annoying, but you can't have everything; not if you like adventure games anyway. You can get arcades without a plot, but you can't get plot games without arcades somewhere.

Best in Series so far
A long awaited for brilliant game by Her Interactive. After many unsuccessful games, this Nancy Drew title has finally brought back what was so easy to love about the series when it first started. The plot is undeniably intriguing with ingenious twists. It is filled with mystery that makes sense. The graphics are beautiful like always. The characters are well-developed although there are few. The puzzles make sense and are challenging yet not impossible.

As Nancy Drew, you go the gorgeous countryside of Ireland to attend a family-friend's wedding. Like always, Nancy's vacation quickly turns into another mystery when the groom goes missing. Will the wedding go on as planned or is this marriage doomed from the beginning? Uncover secrets both of past and present for an exciting adventure.

Typical Nancy Drew
Some of the timed mini-games are very difficult without gaming mouse, but still very enjoyable.
