Riveting fun!

I started playing "The Final Scene" in order to help my ten-year-old daughter make it through some of the challenging spots. This game is somewhat different from the others in its more limited space; unfortunately, a young child can quickly lose interest after exhausting their available clues.

Even when selecting the "junior sleuth" mode, there are times when you wonder what to do next. I must admit that I had to access the community forums on the Her Interactive web site to get a little help.

My daughter was also drawn to the clues (finding them exciting) to the expense of paying attention to the story line (dialogs, etc.). There were times she completed a day's work without having much of an idea of what really happened! This is entirely possible in "The Final Scene."

On the other hand, these are exceptional games with exciting interaction. I quickly found myself hooked! Now, we can't wait to "Do the Drew!"

A great game!

This is a great game and was worth while. It was full of surprises, adventures, mysterious suspects, and exiting puzzles. This game is the best Nancy Drew game so far!

Good for beginners

I really enjoyed this game. It was the first Nancy Drew game I ever played and I would say it is the best game to start with if it is your first ND game. The puzzles aren't that challenging and the feel of the game isn't very creepy. Awesome graphics!! The setting and people are so realistic. I highly recommend this game and I recommend it even more if you've never played ND!

Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island

I've always liked Nancy Drew games, and this one is my 2nd favorite. It is challenging, yet not frustrating and confusing. I would say that it is for ages 9-11. The graphics are great, and unlike most Nancy Drew games, it is a little simpler. Danger on Deception Island is great and fun with tons of "seaworthy" suprises.
In the game there is an orphan killer whale who swam into the San Juan Islands in Washington. You are staying with a marine biologist named Katie. She wanted the whale to be tested in a lab, but the other suspects on the island want it to return to it's pod. Therefore, leading to the vandalism of Katies boat.
This is a great game for junior detectives!

A branzen theif steals a priceless artifact while you, Nancy Drew, are setting up an exhibit of ancient Maya treasures in the very next room. The only clue left behind is a mysterious scarlet handprint. Use your wits to track the theif's sinister blood-red signature through a maze of long-buried secrets in this thrilling 3D interactive mystery. Don't delay-unless,you find the answer soon, you might become just another part of history!
Clearly, the game,(like all the others)produced an exciting and intriguing plot. Eerie music surrounds you as you venture through the museum looking for clues and question eyebrow- raising suspects. The game itself is somewhat more challenging than the others in it's series. I have not been able to uncover the person behind all the mayhem. I have Windows XP, and I have never run into a problem with installation, sound/music, or the display. But if you're really in to mysteries and interactive games, then this is the game for you!

This game was exciting. I'm not really one for games that make me nervous and this one did. I was too much of a whimp to play it myself because it is so life like and makes you feel like you're actually in the game, but I watched my brother play it (he wanted to know why I didn't want to play it so he played it). It really was a good game.

Very interesting --- Another good mystery

I thought it was very good, only it was a little too complicated. I liked the usually good graphics (for Nancy Drew games) but I didn't particularly like the way you couldn't easily get around. Really well done ghost dogs, very scary. The mystery was a creepy one, and the villain was certainly unexpected. That's all I'll say. Anymore would spoil it.

We love them all!

In our house, the two girls (now 13 & 15; 11 and 13 when we started playing ND) eagerly await who is going to get a new ND game for birthdays/Christmas. We started with the first one, Secrets Can Kill, and I will never forget the first time the boiler blew up on us. The girls and I remember me frantically trying to use the LADLE to prevent the catastrophe! We freaked when it blew up! Since then, we have loved every one of the ND games. My favorite is Royal Tower. I loved the snow storm and the creepy basement and the puzzles you have to solve to get in the Tower. I also really loved Haunted Mansion. Each of the 3 of us have our favorites. However, DON'T go immediately to a hint/cheat site or to a walk-through site. It is really more fun to pretend that there is no answer out there and figure it out yourself. Game play is obviously longer then and it is more fun. Don't blame HER Interactive for you finishing it in less time than the box/web site say when you cheat. I prefer the NDs that take place over a number of days, and ND goes to sleep and wakes up. Some of the games don't progress unless there are regular 'breaks' taken by the player. I think it is better NOT to be able to finish it in one marathon session because that encourages cheating and instant gratification. The clock is gone in the most recent ones--probably because it was somewhat confusing to figure out how to advance time--but I liked the games better when there was a clock and events took place over days instead of hours. I prefer the NDs that take place both inside and outside. I also prefer the NDs that involve a huge house with lots of mysterious rooms and corridors and attics, etc, etc. I would also like to see there be a bigger difference between Junior and Senior Detective. The Senior level should include more than just less clues and slightly harder puzzles. The Senior level should include more complex scenarios, more sophisticated mysteries, and a more complicated pathway through the storyline. I would love to see people not posting walk throughs for the Senior level if indeed this level was expanded. Please don't dumb ND down in order to pull in the instant-gratification demographic. But if you do, please make Senior level hard for those of us who really like a challenge and are willing to work at it.

My daughter, age 9, says "best game ever". We got to spend great time together solving this mystery. The game was really cool. When my daughter found out who was behind the mystery, she was shocked. Lots of cold winter nights and weekend days spent together. First thing my daughter did after homework was hit the computer. She was sucked in for sure. Five Stars says the expert (the nine-year-old).

This Game Rocks!

This game really got my brain working. The puzzles were really intriguing and the plot was great. I love the PDA function that can give you a hint when you need it. My copy of "Final Scene" didn't have this feature and It was really handy! I couldn't close it down!!!!!
