The worst in Nancy Drew series

The only thing I liked is the character switch feature. The game is too short and easy. I'm really disappointed. Hope the next one will improve.

Another lousy game in a long string

Yet another utter disappointment from Her Interactive. This game, while considerably better than Danger by Design, is yet another boring, time-wasting game in a long string of Nancy Drew inspired PC games. What happened to the creativity and intrigue of The Curse of Blackmoor Manor, or The Secret of the Scarlet Hand? Get your old game creators back Her Interactive! Your four most recent game STINK! I've completely lost interest in ND computer games since The Secret of the Old Clock, and just sold my entire collection in our yard sale. The Creature of Kapu Cave had no substance whatsoever. I played, lost interest because nothing was happening, and then solved the case without any of the excitement that I used to have for past games. This is the last one I'm ever going to buy. My interest in Nancy Drew games is officially expired.

A Pretty Good Game

I enjoyed this game a lot! It was really easy, and that's how I like the Nancy Drew games to be. This one took place in Hawaii, which is really cool. Really, the hardest part of the game is when you have to collect "Frass". Doing that seems to loom over you, but it's really not that hard. Once you finish with that, you're almost done. What I found strange was the ending. Yeah, you have to get away from the villian, but doing so is weird. Instead of the villian trying to kill you (like in The Haunted Carousel) or the villian spraying stuff in your eyes and blinding you (like in Treasure in the Royal Tower) this villian tries to get away, but the end scene is sort of like a game board type thing where you try to beat the villian to the door.

The people you meet are: Mike (Big Island Mike) Mapu (the guy who owns the store), Pua Mapu (Mike's daughter; she teaches people how to surf), Dr. Quigley Kim (a doctor who asked Nancy to be a research assistant for her), and Dr. Craven (the scientist at the Hilihili Research Center). You talk to several people on the phone also. The coolest part about the game (in my opinion) is that you can switch back and forth between Nancy and Frank or Joe Hardy and play as either one of them (kind of like in Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, only you can play as Frank or Joe longer). All three of them do a little bit of solving the mystery.

Overall, if you like easy Nancy Drew games, this one is for you.

I purchased the Nancy Drew mystery games for my grand-daughter, Katelin Hancock, age, 15. She has all of them up to date, plays them repeatedly, and shares them with friends. She started with the beginning one when she was 9 or 10 years old and has found much pleasure with them. I highly recommend them for teen-agers.

A hot mess

The graphics are really nice BUT: The games is too short and there aren't many puzzles. The puzzles that are in the game are very easy. It took me 8 hours to finish this game. The ending is a hot mess.

Spolier Alert:

Nancy doesn't solve the mystery. She just walks in on it. As Nancy you basically sort through frass the whole game.

Anticlimactic

I found this game really ineteresting in the fact that you go to play both Nany and the Hardy Boys... with a phone call you trade places and play as the other... Other then that the game like many of the other recent ones have fallen short... Seems like each game has slowly gotten short and ended more abruptly... Honestly I think they have to start putting more thought into these games not just trying to get them out as fast possible... The ideas they have are good... but they have exacuted them very well lately... Hoping the new game does not fall short like the rest

Short, But Sweet

My friend and I have completed all the Nancy Drew games together. Here's what we thought of Creature of Kapu Cave: Loved the Hawaiian scenery (especially on a cold, gray Oregon winter day), the characters are well developed, and the most fun was to switch between Nancy and the Hardy Boys point of view. The puzzles were not hard and were very similar to ones in past games. It didn't take very long to complete the game, but all in all it was a pleasurable experience. However, if HerInteractive does not come up with some really different approaches in the future, I think we will get bored and not order any more Nancy Drew games.

The fun series
