I was really disappointed with this Nancy Drew game. I have several others and just love them even though I'm a "grown-up mother of four"! I'm usually so hooked I have to force myself away from the computer. This one was very boring, to me. I wondered if it was an older game and I have become used to the newer releases. I missed the large number of puzzles in some of the other games and the tasks and challenges of other titles like Secret of the Scarlet Hand and Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake. I felt there just wasn't as much to do...maybe I didn't like having to think it through so much; don't know. There also seemed to be a lot of things that weren't essential to the game that really just threw me off. I don't think this is one of the better ND games, but everyone's different! Looks like a lot of other buyers enjoyed it.
