Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy

Just great! The only reason I recommend it to older kids is that they would have a more standard idea that what is portrayed in the game is not completely real. It's like the teens getting annoyed at the middle schoolers for thinking that they're all that. High school does not always reflect what is portrayed in the game and even though it is a very friendly Nancy Drew game it might scare or give younger children ideas. It really is wonderful game though. I've played it myself and I think it is one of the best that HER has ever put out! A real 10 out of 10.

Most of the girls (except Mel and Nancy) are not good role models. They tend to bad mouth each other, call them names, and gossip and lie about them. I don't appreciate it, so if your kids aren't sensitive this stuff can seem funny, but you should know them so that they don't repeat the bad things that the girls say. But, like I've said before, Nancy is a good role model and is patient with the girls even when they aren't good to her. She is also very understanding towards Mel (who happens to be one of my favorites). But the game can get a bit scary, like when a girl gets locked in a closet, you hear her banging and shouting and she sounds scared and may be frightening. There is also talk about one girl's allergic reaction, but it's only mentioned and never shown.But, there is one part to be extra careful about. In one scene, near the end of the game, if you don't solve the pit and the pengelum puzzle correctly then Nancy get's cut, it's not bloody or gory but the thought is very disturbing. But, there are also some good educational message. You learn a few things about Edgar Allen Poe and also you can learn a lot from the DNA puzzle. So once again, know your kid and for younger kids, teach them about the consequences of bullying and telling lies.

Well, I have this on my PC and I think that it could have some language issues, and definitely could be scary for most kids under 10 years old. The girls are sometimes catty, and at the end there is a lot of violence, trying to stay alive and not get caught by the swinging axe, but I do think it is pretty good--just not as good as the books or some of the other, less violent games related to Nancy Drew. It is, however, very educational, because you have to know certain things and put your mind to the test in solving puzzles. Good for kids, but some of the characters are NOT positive role models. I do overall think this is a fun, inviting, and challenging game, so I would vote yes if you were to ask me if I would recommend it.

I thought this game was fun but a little dissapointing. Theres like nothing in the game so I dont really have much to say. The puzzles can get very hard and the game itself is a bit malicious. You may find youself hitting your head against the desk saying "WHY WONT YOU END?!" Warning: in the beginning theres a slightly disturbing scene. The girls in this arnt the best role models
