    What a great game!

    This game is great for all kinds of players. It has great graphics, developed characters and plot, and challenging gameplay. Perhaps the best parts of the game are the little surprises and bits of humour slipped in at varios places. Fans of Nancy Drew will love this game and so will newcomers to the series.
