Customer Review: Danger on Deception Island
At last! Nancy gets to relax while staying with George's friend, Katie Firestone,(a marine biologist) on her boat in Snake Horse Harbor. Hmm, the mystery is - what? It seems that a mysterius orca has showed up- where is she from? Katie seems to be getting on everyone's nerves-she's the only one alowed to go near it! That must hurt Andy Jason's buisness! He gives whale watching tours- but he can't get near the whale! Holt Scotto is a fisherman-and he's losing mmoney becasue he can't fish near the whale! Jenna Deblin just doesn't like Katie-she thinks the whale should just be left alone! You have a cellphone and can call Bess and George, the HArdy Boys, and various people whose phone numbers you pick up later. You ride a bike to get to places-if you don't wear your helmet, watch out! Don't worry, Nancy just clicks on where she wants to go and you're there. (Not like in the Secret of the Old Clock, which was annoying.) I have to say, though, that this game isn't as fun as the others. It just seems like there isn't much to do! Theh hardest part was the end. I liked digging for clams, but it got old after a while. Too many secret passages (the one in the cafe I got lost in a lot of times, believe me) and the puzzles you had to do for the old lady (who you can only talk to by phone, you don't actually meet her)? Bor-ing! It seems like whenever you were getting somewhere, there was another hard, boring puzzles you had to solve. I guess the first time I played it, I liked it- but it's not one of the Nancy Drew Games that you want to play over and over again. Nice idea- but it doesn't seem like a good setting for a mystery, besides it being cold and foggy. The good part is, you'll be kept guessing who the culpirit is- I had no idea! Characters:6-7 They weren't all that interesting, in my opinion! It wasn't evident what part they played in the mystery! Besides being mad at Katie Firestone for various reasons, they didn't do all that much! Graphics: 8 Not bad, though definatley not as good as the newest games. As always, the settings were more realistic than the characters. The water and islands were very realistic. At least it was all 3-D. Mystery: 6 Not a great mystery. Everyone is mad at Katie Firestone because her being near the whale hurts all their buisneses in some way. So, someone vandilizes Katie's boat. And what's with the new orca? Seems it doesn't belong to a pod. Ho-hum. Gameplay: 7 Not too bad. Takes about 2 weeks to finish, playing about 2 hours per day. Maybe a week and a half. Depends on your skill. I loved kayaking- unfortunatley, it's hard to see where you are going and often you go around in circles. Plus the GPS was SO annoying! It takes forever to put in the coordinates and then go to them! "OK, on arrow oforward and we're there- no! Wait! What happened? OK, go back one- no! I mean, U-turn! No! Wait! What? Oh, are we there? Hey- wha- no, you idiot! We're back at the boat!" sigh. You get the idea. Worth your money? If you like puzzles and oceans, this game is for you. If you'd rather keep your feet on the ground-don't buy this.
Customer Review: One of my favorites! The Haunted Carosel Review
Maybe it's because this was one of my earlier nancy drew games, but i disagree when people say this game is too short. there's a lot of action and everything that you have to do takes a decent amount of time. every thing about this game was fun- except one arcade game. eventually we got it but it was hard! i'm going to rate the features on a scale of 1-10, 1 the worst and 10 the best. GRAPHICS: 8.99 they're not the BEST but pretty good. actually i'd say they're very good. probably the newest ones have the absolute best graphics, but these are also extremely good. PLOT/STORYLINE: 8 hmmm. basiclly, the amusmant park nancy is investigating is supposedly "haunted"and the carousel is going around...by itself....in the middle of th night! and the rollercoaster suddenly stops, causing an accidnet! the owner wants nancy to find out why the park is "malfunctioning". also, kind of a "mini-mystery": help one of the employees, joy, to help "get her memories back ' with...................wait for it................miles the magnificant memory machine!he's kind of a robot. machine. type thing. y. all the characters have motives...actually, this was one of th eones where i had no idea who was the bad person.....maybe you wil know????!!!!???!!! CHARACTERS:10 ooh!!!! i LOVE the characters!!!!!! they are SOOOO COOL!!! here they are! Ingrid: head engineer. supersticious. also...strange. (you'll see.) and... suspicous. also i love her voice! its hard to describe but its smooth and..see for your self! she recently apparently came into a lot of money. at least, she's buying expensive jewelrey. and looking aat expensive cars. hmm.... Elliot: art person. painter. you get the idea. behind on his work. could he be telling the truth when he says that hes just a procrasinator? or maybe he's just preoccupied....by something sinister????!!!!??? Joy: ah yes.she thinks the owner is cursing the park to attract cutomers. her name is ironic, as harlan describes her as "joy-less". but she really is. maybe because both her parents are dead?her dad was the owners partner. joy doesn't have any memories of her mom. hmm......maybe nancy can help.... Harlan: security guard.suspicous of ingrid. reminds me of a (skinny) teddy bear by his voice. seems nice...but he's...hiding somethinmg. at least, it seems that way. suspicous of ingrid. does he have a shady past?..... GAMEPLAY: 7.5 took me about about 2 weeks, maybe 3weeks. more experianced palyers can probably solve in a week or less. harder than the secret of the old clock but easier than ghost dogs (to me) SCARYNESS: 5 not really scary, exept the haunted house is kind of scary but not like goose-bump scary or anything. mostly the suspence is what makes it scary. the end is a teensy bit scary, but not more than most nancy drew games PHONE: you have a cell phone! you can call bess and george, the owner of the park, a detective, various people who's phone numberse you find, and i think you can call the hardy boys but i'm not sure. EXTRA: you have your own hotel room! which you can go in. you also have a laptop in your hotel room with various features! you can order food from room service! and...at the park there are games you can play, prizes to win...and you can riede a certain ride! and more!!!!! OVERALL: not an overly difficult game, i'd say medium easy on a sclae of 1-10 10being the hardest i'd say 5-6 for more experianced players, 7-7.5 for new players I RECCOMEND THIS GAME TO EVERYONE! EVEN IF YOU THINK IT IS EASY YOU WILL WANT TO PLAY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN! FUN FOR EVERYONE! WORTH YOUR MONEY! PS i'm sorry this is so long!!! :-)
