 Best Mystery Game Yet!!!Jun 06, 2002
By C. Tschopp
"Peachymom3"
I have to say this is the best mystery game I have seen in a while! It's not just for girls either. My son(age 9) and I have played every Nancy Drew game so far together. We have so much fun. It takes about 3 weeks for us because we spread it out and play 1 or 2 hours a night. It makes it last longer. The mysteries are very interesting. There are puzzles and clues to figure out. The people and the graphics are great. Mysterious people, objects, crimes, etc. You can SAVE the game whenever you want. There is a herinteractive.com website for help if you get truly stuck in the game. (Only first time Nancy Drew players usually get stuck until you understand the game.) It's not scary at all. Adults who like mystery games will like this too. The ending is always cool. I recommend this for everyone! Have fun!

great concept, but...Jan 17, 2002
I am a 31 yr old female gamer. Just so you know where I a coming from...I enjoy the concept and idea of this game and it is true that the graphics are great, but it is way too dark in a lot of parts of it and I find myself holding it just right to try to see, even with one of those game boy lights. Growing up with Nancy Drew books I would buy this game even with that down fall. I hope they come out with more mystery games like this one. It is nice to be able to find myself thinking about who is behind the accidents and where to find clues and excited when I find more. The no save feature does not bother me because it is easy to start in the beginning of each chapter and get caught up to where you left off. I hope this was helpful.

Fantastic, riveting, interesting and excellent graphicsNov 16, 2001
This is one fantastic game! As I said in the title it's got great graphic, it is interesting and keeps you trying to figure out who done it. Well worth it! Thumbs up for this new concept I haven't seen much in games before!

Great game, important minor flaws.Dec 11, 2001
This game is graphicly beautiful and expansive. the game is divided into chapters like the nancy drew books. but the main flaw (and reason it didnt get 5 stars) is that you get a password at the end of a chapter, and CAN NOT SAVE during a chapter. depending on how quickly you can figure out what is going on a chapter can take anywhere from just a few minutes, or when i was completely lost it took me about 3 hours to finish a chapter. so not being able to save during the chapter is a pain. otherwise, the game is beautiful, engaging, creative and at times complex. this game uses the processing and graphic powers of the gameboy advance to the extreme. i highly recommend this title for adult gamers, particularly women gamers.

No, you don't need an eye exam...Dec 29, 2001
By Clare
I want to start off by saying that this GBA game has beatuifully detailed graphics. As close to 3D as I've seen the GBA get. In the game, you are Nancy Drew. You take the responsibility to figure out who-or-what created the "accidents" occuring the this mansion whom some believe is haunted. You can go through all the rooms looking for clues, interveiwing people and even calling people on the cell phone. The game is divided into chapters, much like the actual Nancy Drew books. There are some big cons to take into consideration however. First off, I hear you can not save during the game. I've tried, yet can not figure out how, which may support that possibility. The second is the text. During conversations you have to read text in order to know what they are saying...the only problem with that is the size of the font. I have pretty good eye-sight and even with a desklamp AND the GBA light/magnifying accessory shining on the game (but with no glare) I had to squint and struggle to read the words, finally finishing it in a few minutes when normally it would take a few seconds. The text is extremely small!! Of course, the GBA screen is small (well, it IS better than the GB...). Just take these into consideration when buying this game. Besides the text and saving problems, all else makes this a wonderful game!
