It's bad. If you want to play a fun DS detective game, get Touch Detective. With this game, it's hard to manuever around - you have to use the + keys, not the touch screen; it's mostly reading - not much sleuthing; the games are easy - like 5-year-old easy; everything is highlighted the minute you walk into a room. The touch screen is hardly used! The PC Nancy Drew games are fun. This one is a dud and a waste of money. I pre-ordered hoping it would be good. Blech.
