My 11 year old loved it and was very pleased to receive it on her birthday. It is also quite challenging to keep her at it for a while.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Carosels!

This is the worst game in the history of Nancy drew games. The game total took me and my mom 4 hours. We finished it in 2 days. What we do is we play at night. The only fun part was the lame arcade games and they weren't even hard. We used the lovely 2nd chance button once and that was when we fell off of the stupid horse. Save your money! Instead buy The Secret on Shadow Ranch. Now that's a good game!

It was great!!!!!

I reccomend this game to ages 9 & up. This is an adventure game, where a soap opera star is recieving death threats(don't worry- it has NOTHING to do with soap operas!LOL)and his co-star and friend, Mattie Jensen wants you to help him and stop the threats. You, in the shoes of Nancy Drew, go and solve intriguing puzzles, explore off limit places, and go undercover as an intern in the studio. Will Nancy solve the case? Play it and see!...

cool game, good graphics

Game Gets "Stuck"

I played "Secrets Can Kill" and really enjoyed it. The clues in "Stay Tuned for Danger" seem mostly irrelevant and then the game ceases to progress as the other game did. I've tried to reach the company for support but they're not very responsive. I find it difficult to believe that a 10-year-old would succeed with this game without substantial adult support.

Stay tuned forýrather ho-hum snooping and Muzak.

"Stay Tuned for Danger" marked my fifth Nancy Drew game from Her Interactive (yes, I play them out of order), and next to "Secrets Can Kill" was my least favourite. It seemed to have fewer locations and possibilities than other games: for instance, you can only explore the living room in Mattie's apartment, two dressing rooms, a set (although you generally can't pick up/interact with the props), and an agent's office. Also, many of the necessary snooping activities were not readily evident in some cases and I spent a good amount of time backtracking, hunting through scraps of paper for scribbled codes, and then I had to download a patch from Dreamcatcher Games' website in order to beat the endgame sequence, since, being a random timed puzzle, no matter how fast I worked to solve it I never had enough time.

Nancy is in New York visiting Mattie Jensen, a famous actress on the (imaginary) soap "Light of Our Lives." Mattie's co-star, leading man Rick Arlen, has been receiving death threats and has nearly been killed a mysterious accident. Who is the culprit? Lillian, the director and Rick's ex? Dwayne, Rick's fired agent? Mattie, once the love of Rick's life? The mysterious woman in the prop room who is heir to the studio's fortune? The security guard? It's up to Nancy to find out.

Unlike "Secrets Can Kill," "STFD" features 3D models and backgrounds instead of animated characters. Also, Nancy can change the clock from day to night since some required actions occur then. I liked the map of New York that let Nancy get around, but the cab drivers always had the same annoying voices and lines. More variety, please. The Muzak in the studio hallways was also a nice touch. Thankfully, there are no (well, almost) random frustrating word/number puzzles that were so common in "Secrets Can Kill." I did feel like I spent a lot of time wandering around, and in one case I had to keep sneaking back into an office since I didn't have the required items/information to complete the game. Also, another clue seemed to hint that you needed to do more than necessary, so I spent a good deal of time trying to call a shop during the day in order to talk to someone when I discovered that that was as far as the clue went. Overall, this is a fun mystery for Nancy Drew fans and computer sleuths. There are some tricky sequences and three levels of difficulty to keep you searching, interviewing and snooping for hours. "Stay Tuned for Danger" is an impressive sophomore effort from Her Interactive, and I look forward to new additions in the Nancy Drew (cyber)universe.

Tough until you figure it out.

I spent months on this game, trying to figure it out. I have to tell you, I had help. I searched the web and found a cheat sheet site that walks you through the game. I found it very helpful, because once you get to one point, everything comes together. I was very intrigued by the thought of this game, and enjoyed being able to go wherever I pleased without having to switch CDs (See Secrets can Kill). It is a fun and exciting game that you won't want to walk away from.

Stay Tuned for a review

This game is terrific. Although its graphics are not up-to-par with later Nancy Drew Mystery Games, this whole game is still, quite simply, wonderful. The characters are the most complex of any game, and at times you don't know who did what! You are able to visit 3 locations by taxi, and explore them. The settings are vivid and clues and/or red herrings are everywhere.
The climax is exhilarating, and altogether, Stay Tuned for Danger is worth buying.

An Enoyable ND.

This one is alot better than the first. It full of suspense and mystery.See, this family friend and daytime soap opera star invites Nancy to NY to discover who could be threatening her Co-Star. You can go to three different areas and in each one you get to do alot of sleuthing and find alot of clues.You can question suspects like Rick and Mattie to find out what they have to hide.You can go through secret passage ways to find out information that can help you solve the case. I really enjoyed it but I only gave it four stars because I like the later games a little better. But I would highly reccomend this game to any ND fan.
