3.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating? Check. Confusing? Check., July 15, 2009

The ND games are always at least moderately fun, but this one offers something of a departure from the feel of previous efforts. Largely, I found it fell short.

From almost the first moment of the game, you're presented with a lengthy and ever-increasing list of tasks to accomplish. Thankfully, these can be completed in pretty much whatever order you like; however, the motivation behind them is rarely more than "because El Toro/Johnny/that squawking bird said so." Even at the end, there's no real sense of urgency - perhaps because there's practically no one to talk to. No phone, no funny e-mails, no Prudence Rutherford. Just a stressed out George and a none-too-talkative beach bum. There are barely any suspects, and while the big villain reveal at the end is clever, for me it took away from the story not to try to figure out whodunit on my own. Also, the island, while beautifully depicted, is limited. Driving and sailing have always felt like time wasters to me - I much... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars This game is difficult!, July 16, 2009
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I had always heard that Curse of Blackmoor Manor was the most difficult ND game so far. I can't comment on that, being as I haven't played it. What I can say is that I have played many of the Nancy Drew games and Ransom of the Seven Ships beats them all for difficulty level---and I'm playing on junior mode! For those of you who like wall-to-wall challenging puzzles (some of them timed, no less), you will probably enjoy this game very much. For those who don't like having to look at a walkthrough every 30 minutes or so to figure out what to do next/how to solve a puzzle, I would recommend that you steer clear. I really can't believe that I am actually saying this, because I *love* the Nancy Drew games--but I feel that potential purchasers need a heads up about this one before they decide whether to buy or not to buy.

This is going to be a love-it-or-hate-it game for a lot of people, I suspect. It will either rank in their top 5 or their bottom 5, but I feel there will... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I have never been disappointed by a Nancy Drew game..., June 16, 2010

This review is from: Nancy Drew: Ransom Of The Seven Ships [Download] (Software Download)
But this one was especially fun to play. If you aren't familiar with Nancy Drew games, they are adventure/mystery games that feature a good storyline, puzzles to solve and obstacles to overcome. The graphics are almost always very good. And, like the books, they are very family friendly.

This game takes place on an island and you travel from location to location in a golf cart. You will also sail and scuba dive. You will have to solve puzzles to advance through the game, some of which are pretty difficult. I always use a walkthrough when I play because I don't like to get frustrated (I highly recommend Universal Hint System for walkthroughs), but even with a walkthrough some of the obstacles are still difficult. Beating the monkey at the coconut game comes to mind.

The only thing I didn't like about this particular game was the lack of characters with which to interact. But all in all, a very exciting and satisfying game.
