Not the best follow up but a good contender

This Nancy Drew has a good plot idea but probably one of the easiest. The change in countries is great idea because all the others were in the states. It has some difficult challenges but not as much suspense as previous games.Most of the things she is required to do is run aroungd the city collecting things. There are not very many chances for Nancy to die or be sent home which is good and bad. It is bad because it is sometime funny to see her die but also it makes the game to easy because you cannot mess up. The ending does not really fit with the plot and the story did not build up in which then the ending would have fitted a little better. All in all, this game has some interesting innovations, such as the metro system and the case files of previous cases.

My 14 year old daughter and her four girl cousins, ages ranging from 12-16 years old, absolutely LOVE the Nancy Drew games. Although this one, "Danger by Design", was not as challenging as some of the earlier games, the girls still enjoyed solving the mystery, beating their previous times, and listening to the "catchy" phrases coming from the audio portion of the game.
It's great entertainment for an overnight slumber party.

Not as fun as previous titles

I don't know if it's just me, but this game didn't seem as coherent as the previous titles, all of which I enjoyed thoroughly. I had much more trouble keeping track of the story and what I was supposed to be doing with this one. Plus, it was very buggy. When I played at Senior Detective level, my roommate never showed up after her fitting and I couldn't finish the game. It was not nearly as fun as I hoped it would be. I hope the next one is better.

Not Nancy Drew's Best

I was very excited when I heard that the newest Nancy Drew PC game would take place in Paris and yet, it didn't live up to my expectiations. The running errands and chains of "if you do this for me then i'll give you..." that always appear in these games were more tedious than any before and took up most of the game. Beside that I had trouble understanding the plot, many elements of the game were not explained (like why one character had electrical engeneering books), and the motive of the criminal was too far fetched to believe. Combined with the fact that the Parisian setting was not used to it's full potential, Danger by Design is a sign that Herinteractive is running out of ideas.

Fun for the family

I really enjoy the Nancy Drew games. They can be done as a senior detective with fewer helps or as a Junior detective with a check list of things that need to be done. The check list continues to update as you move through the game. I look forward to each new game as it comes out and can't leave the computer until they are done!

best game ever

I have played all the Nancy Drew games since the first installment and have enjoyed playing them along with my children immensely. And been guilty of playing without them. This game in particular was a very quick finish and i was left feeling like there should have been more. As usual, the story line is filled with a lot of background history and this one gave you that, but i didn't get much of any background,if any,on the characters, at least, not as much as previous games. My favorite aspect to these games, aside from the fact that it's a game i can enjoy right along with the kids, is the puzzles and brainteasers. Much of those are lacking this time around. Most of the time was spent going from one train stop to another ad nauseam and puzzles were obvious to figure out without too much thought. Unfortunately, i played the junior detective level instead of the senior, so I'm not sure if this short changed my experience some what. All that aside, I still love these games and recommend it's purchase, although, this one will not be remembered as a favorite in the line. Looking forward to October and Nancy's adventure in Hawaii.

this game takes place in paris(france) You are working under cover for fashion designer,Minnet as nancy drew. This game is real easy to beat(for me) The ending was NOTHING like I expected.(and kind of STUPID) The point of this game is to find out why minnet wares a full face white mask. But you really don't have much to do in this game that has to do with fashion(1 activity and that's IT) You're mostly running errends for minnet. Well hope you like my review. And enjoy this ND game

As good as the rest.
