The nancy Drew pc game, as always, is challenging, thought provoking and a good experience in challenging your detective skills. Great buy!

A lot of the game had the same concepts used in previous Nancy Drew games and was somewhat easy like driving the car, climbing the mountain, boating, questioning people, feeding and getting hints from the parrot, searching for hidden clues, and connecting/placing items in order. The scenery is realistic and colorful and has you searching for clues outdoors which is enjoyable especially on a tropical island. This game strategy was well planned and very entertaining.
Fun setting

I used to play these games with my daughter, but now that she's 11, she plays by herself! We always liked Nancy's friends Bess & George, and in this game you can switch between "being Nancy," to "being George." The setting is beachy, and you can get in a golf cart and drive around. The monkeys are really, really funny....
Awesome Game!
