I'm a huge fan of Nancy Drew and wanted so badly to love this game. Alas, it was not meant to be. By the time I figured out some of the mini-games, (which you can beat by randomly banging on buttons) Nancy is solving the mystery and its over.
The dialogue screens become really boring with the same image flashing over and over again.
The one thing I found fabulous with this game, was that Nancy, in not so many words, told her boyfriend she wasn't giving up solving mysteries to dote and spend all of her time with him... I had to laugh... the original Nancy Drew from the 30's packed her dad's revolver, they kept that same spunk by letting the boyfriend know it wasn't always about him.
Not Exactly What I Expected

I was really interested in a mystery type game with Nancy Drew in it, especially since I grew up on the Nancy Drew mystery books.
I guess I expected too much from this game ... like more real clues and more "sleuthing."
After fiddling around with the repetitive "games" for several hours, I decided to save the game and shut it down and couldn't find any way to save it. Most games like this have a "save" feature. The "manual" wasn't any help, either.
A couple of days later, I got back to it and it wanted to start all over again from the beginning....ugh! I haven't touched it since. I figure I'll trade it in at "Game Stop" next time I pass there.
It wasn't what I had hoped for, but children might find it more entertaining.
I'd love to see some good mind boggling mysteries, with, perhaps, Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes? Even this Nancy Drew one would have been terrific if more thought had been put into it.
Apparently, it was designed for kids and not adults. Oh well. I guess I suckered in for the Nancy Drew name and the interesting picture on the box.
fun and super easy

This game is fun. Its very easy so it can be finished quickly with no problems. If you are looking for a challenge this is not the game for you. I'm not sure if it is even possible to lose at this game.
Fun while it Lasted

I got this game for Christmas and was excited to play it, I loved playing it but I finished it in one sitting. So it's fun if you want a quick game but if you want one that is tough and long and hard don't buy this one.
Very little to do - Games Plays it's self

I play the Nacy drew PC games and thought the DS games would be just as fun. They are, at least this one isn't. It felt like the game was playing its self.
Not like the PC game

It is a cute game but no where near as exciting as the PC games. I hope that they figure out a way to make it more like those.
