scarlet hand is not ok,if not for the tasks, in my opinion. I would think differenetly exept that the tasks you have to do took about a month. one took us more. (me and my sister.) i like when the Nancy drew games take longer, but only when because theres a lot to do, not because the puzzles are so hard! bess and george tell you how to do this one task but honestly, it didn't help at all! i like how th emystery is at a museum in washington dc ( near where i live, relativly ) but even the crime was "eh". just a robbery. the end was scary ish, it was fairly easys to figure out. i like how i t shows you what happens if you dont get out in time.also you can call bess and george and the hardy boys, as well as 2 "unique" people. hmm. sadly, this would have been one of my faveorite games if not for the impossoble puzzles. even the ones that aren't that had take FOREVER! if you like hard tasks, try it. i think if you can get past the tasks, you'll like it. otherwise, you 'll probably give up.

A good choice for newbies that love adventure games. Nancy Drew's games are perfect, fresh, relaxing, but also give you a lot of thinking some times.

This game was fun but short. the thing i love is that within the game you have games you must play and complete in order to go further with your investigation. The only thing i didn't like about this game is that nancy's voice is so irritating and annoying like she was on too much prozac. Anyways one part i thought was poorly created was when i had to guess the password for the computer. Realistically all passwords must be one word (no spaces) so i tried everything. Finally i gave up. What do you know? in this game the password contains a space between the 2 words (which is not realistic to real computers) but oh well i just move on. Overall it was very fun to play and im in my mid 20's :)

Gets 4 for interface

I've been playing these out of order, and it took me a while to realize this is #4 in the series, which explained the choppy interface. Some of the camera angles were awkward and this often made it difficult to see where exactly you could go. The cursor in this game is particular. As with other ND games, it changes depending on if you can go right,left, etc. In later games, there is a pan icon. In this one, the pan icon is also the left/right icon, depending on which way you are panning. I had a hard time adjusting to this because I would see that turn icon, click, and think I had made a 90 degree turn, when in fact I had panned slightly to one side. This icon, along with some of the camera angles, also made it difficult in some areas to see that there were other areas to be explored. The cursor was also picky. There wasn't much screen area afforded to the different icons. If I had a left icon, it would be in part of the left side of the screen. If I went too far left, I would fall out of the hot spot. The back (not reverse) icon was also cumbersome. Considering this is one of the early games, and in later games this is fixed, it's a very minor issue, but one you should be prepared for.

Aside from that, game play was great. Again, the puzzles were well integrated into the story. There were a few stinkers that I thought were silly and just there to waste time (the camera comes to mind), but overall, most of the puzzles were well done.

In game hints were well done and helpful. The story line was interesting and there were many secret places to be found and explored, which I thought was a very nice touch and extremely engaging. Overall, I highly recommend this installment of Nancy Drew, just watch that cursor!

Excellent game.
