Well done, good story line, fun to play. only complaint is that there are too many hidden object scenes. more puzzles nstead would have been better.

With Paradox on the label, I figured this game would be up there with Hearts of Iron 3. Or maybe just Heart of Iron 2.

Instead what we get is something with less going for it than paying Win 3.1 Solitaire.

You'll spend most of your time clicking little, uninformative messages to go away. About the best thing I can say is that it loads very quickly.

The forward sprint will not work on xbox360 controller unless you carefully move left thumb stick slowly. If you move thumb stick too fast you will go in reverse. Its very frustrating when playing like this!

Like most of the Nancy Drew games, this one is very well made and lots of fun. The story is complicated but clever, the scenes and puzzles carefully done and challenging, and you have a choice of difficulty levels. The game is not super-long - maybe 4-5 hours - and has little replay value, which are its main defects, but I really enjoyed it (one reason it was over so quickly - I played it for several hours at a stretch!).

If you liked the 'My Kingdom for the Princess' games, you'll find the graphics in this one even better. I would have liked to give this game a better rating, but there are some real problems with it that I believe the developer should fix.

For example, they have characters pop up in the middle of a level, and while you're trying to run around as quickly as you can to get everything done, the developer sees no problem with having these annoying speech bubbles pop right up over the areas you want to go to, so that you can't get there until their pointless yammering is over with, killing precious time.

Also, you're not told to be sparing with spending your points you gain, which you will need to use to open further levels along the way. Don't do what I did the first time out and spend all your points before you get to a higher level. Otherwise you've got to play and play and play and play....the first levels you've already done, just to get enough points to open the next levels. A real waste of time. If you do happen to do that, just do what I did and erase your profile and start over which is a LOT faster.

Overall, I think the developer made a couple of huge blunders with this game. Too bad, as their My Kingdom for the Princess were so good.

This game keeps crashing when I try to load a game. Apple needs to fix this immediately. If this was fixed I'd give the game 4 stars.

Super slow and choppy (on a Macbook Air), repetitive dialogue and uninteresting puzzles. Not worth the price, even on sale.

I was surprised by this game, the graphics are dated but the premise is rock solid. I was even addicted for a short time. The dynamic economy and scenarios are challenging and fun. The only issue I found is the fighting is a bit lack luster. I took off one star because the battles are disappointing, even for an older game.
