I found the items way to hard to find, and because of that I did not find the game enjoyable at all..I am glad I tried the demo first..
I don't recommend this game.

This is a perfect game to relax too, I really enjoyed this and the piano music in the background was very soothing..I usually turn off the music but not this time, I left it on, even when I was away and had the game running I let the music play..
I have a high level stress job and when I play this at the end of the day, it relaxes me enough that I can sleep.
I recommend this game!

I am so glad I tried the trial of this game first, it has got to be one of the worst games out there, and I really had to push myself to stick it out for the entire trial period.
It didn't get better, it didn't get worse either, but no thanks.
The music is annoying, the little mouse voice is so annoying I would like to strangle it, and the scenes were almost impossible to find certain objects.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game, it was a nice break from my usual HOG (Hidden Objects Game) I used my controller as I found that easier, I found it hard to control with just the mouse, and I didn't care for the key board..
The best thing about the game is the option to choose which way to control the game, I really liked that
I found the music to be a little boring, so turned that off.
The story line was a little boring and the usual stuff, got to find and recuse some girl.
All in all a fun game for everyone and every age..
I recommend this game!

This is a fantastic game, it was so darn good that when the trial ran out, I went and bought it without hesitation!
I was playing it and got so involved in it, my car pool was sitting outside honking and I they ended up phoning me to let me know they were here :-)
So don't play it if u have to go to work soon.
I didn't care for the music much so I muted it, but the graphics were quite good, the movies were also quite good and realistic, and felt like I was watching an actual movie.
All in all a must buy game.
Ohh and the puzzles were quite easy which is a nice change from all the mind bending games out there..
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game and I have tried all the Nancy Drew Games so far, ohh except the Twister one, anyways, this was a great game, the puzzles were a little challenging, but not bad, the only thing I hated was the Forest Maze and the Well Maze, grrrrrrrrr those two drove me batty!! If it was not for a walk though with a map I would have quit.
I recommend this game!
