This game has more twists with driving the car around, but all in all it is not much different than the previous games. It was not bad as some were (Scarlet Hand and Deception Island, in my opinion) and the exteriors were good.....Nancy Drew games are becomming "formula" and I have every one and played every one, and will continue to do so, they are addicting! Just wanting something different. My favorites are Royal Tower and Final Scene.
We love this game

My daugher and I love all of the Nancy Drew games. Fun and new in this game is the driving element, and it is historically set where the others feature more modern settings. One of the great things about these games is that they lead kids back to the original literature--my daughter loves to read the stories after she solves the games.
An ok game

There were hardly any places to explore on the game and the puzzles were easy compared to other games. Also there is a part on the game where you drive with an ariel view and it gets really annoying. There are a few parts of the game that were neat, but I would reccomend a different Nancy Drew game if you have never played one before.
another clever game

I have all the Nancy Drew computer games and have done them all. They are a lot of fun, great for kids and adults. Secret of the Old Clock was the most recent game ment to convey the first Nancy Drew book/mystery. It was done very well, with some suspense and excitement. It really makes you think and to learn new things. This one took a new approach to transportaion with the user actually driving this car around town--this was tricky and a little irritating, I think that's my only little complaint on the game. I recommend all the Nancy Drew games, trust me, they're a blast.

I have to say that this game was too short in game play, otherwise it was still fun to play. I liked the idea of "driving her car" and going from one building to another instead of just staying at one place. The graffics were very good. The puzzles could have been a little harder. Overall, I still liked playing this game. I'm a big fan of the ND games.

This game was way too easy. Not enough tasks and puzzles. I've played all the other Nancy Drew games and this one was very disappointing.

As a true Nancy Drew fan, and worked all the games put out to date. I found this to be one of the best, they just seem to be getting better. Good Puzzels.

This is a fun game with many nods at the early Nancy Drew books. My daughter and I have fun playing ND games together and this sparked a lot of conversation about dinosaurs such as party lines and telegrams. Had it's fun moments like the putt putt course and good graphics like the inside of the shed but I didn't think it was as challenging as Blackmoor Manor(20 not 25 hours of play)and the secret passageway was disappointing after the elaborateness of some of the other secret passageways like Deception island or Blackmoor Manor. Fun but liked the longer game.
not just for kids...

I am addicted to Nancy Drew games and this latest entry does not disappoint. I've played 10 out of 12 of them and they just keep getting better. Oh yeah, I'm 34 and these games are challenging to an adult so don't be scared off that they will be too juvenile.
Nice setting, but a bit dull

My daughter Charlotte is 12 years old and a huge fan of the Nancy Drew books. She loves the computer games too and has all the titles released so far. She was keen to get this one too, but was slightly disappointed when it arrived. The main problem was that it was too easy. She finished it the first day she played it, whereas she normally takes about three days or more. Some of the settings were nice, and she liked the crazy golf and being able to drive Nancy's car, but she thought that the ending was far too abrupt, and far too tame.
