Summary: Good, but...
Review: This is the best game in this series and a pretty good game all around. It is educational and has no serious violence as some other computer games do. The graphics are also very good. I can't give the game five stars, however, for two reasons. One: The game did not take long enough to play. I finished it in about 6 or 7 hours when the package promised 20. And I played on senior level. Two: The game is really no fun after playing it once. I'd really recommend trying to rent the game or buying it used.

Summary: ¿The Final Scene¿ a gripping thriller¿
Review: "Nancy Drew: The Final Scene" is the first Nancy Drew game I've had the pleasure to play. After reading so many positive reviews from Amazon.com customers and game magazines alike, I decided that I had to try it for myself. The main attraction of the game for me was the thought of exploring a (dilapidated) vaudeville theatre, a (virtual) pastime of mine."The Final Scene" bears many similarities to one of my all-time favourite games, 1994's "Are You Afraid Of The Dark: The Tale of Orpheo's Curse." Produced by now-extinct Viacom NewMedia, "The Tale of Orpheo's Curse" also took place in a condemned vaudeville theatre built in the early 1900s. Both "Orpheo's Curse" and "The Final Scene" draw heavily on magic tricks and lore. Both theatres are full of faded splendour and faded memories: black-and-white photos of visiting performers, elegant, now-tattered wallpaper, and secret passageways galore. "The Final Scene" is gorgeous. Intricate attention to detail, such as spilled popcorn, the texture of a canvas backdrop, and plaster moldings in the lobby really capture the feel of the once-elegant (and fictious) Royal Palladium. Character models are realistic, with good lip-sync and facial expressions. Voice acting is above-average, and the music and sound effects really lend the game a spooky atmosphere: slow, sultry jazz trumpets, creepy organ music, ghostly laughter. The game offers two levels of difficulty: Junior Detective and Senior Detective. The storyline is the same for both games, only the puzzles are harder as a Senior Dective. There is a nifty "Second Chance" feature that allows you to start over at the precise moment before you "died." And yes, there are a number of possible deaths facing Nancy if she doesn't solve the mystery or watch her step, including electrocution, a falling box, a falling spotlight, and most terrifying of all, a wrecking ball. Detectives have to carefully gather clues and interrogate suspects. There are four in "The Final Scene" : Joseph Hughes, elderly caretaker of the theatre, Nicholas Falcone, activist with a criminal past, Simone Mueller, power-hungry agent, and Brady Armstrong, teenage heartthrob movie star. Nothing is as it seems, and everyone has some personal involvement in the Royal Palladium. The game begins with Nancy and her friend Maya Nguyen, a student reporter, at the Royal Palladium for the premiere of Brady Armstrong's latest film, "Vanishing Destiny." An appropriate title as it turns out, for Maya vanishes from Brady's (empty) dressing room as Nancy stands outside, helpless. There are plenty of delicious twists and turns, and like Fox Mulder from the X-Files, you must "trust no one." Nancy has three days to track down Maya and her kidnapper before the building is demolished. This includes snooping through personal belongings, making phone calls, and exploring hidden passageways. Nancy also gets to play with some fun equipment. There is plenty of humour, most of it sarcastic on Nancy's part. "What's the requests?" asks Nicholas Falcone, to which Nancy answers, "Don't you mean...what *are * the requests?" "What are you, my freshman English teacher?" he snaps back, then asks again, "What's the requests?" The side characters are just as memorable, including a spunky 96-year-old Russian woman, Eustacia, with her cat food coupons, who tells Nancy to save her gratitude "for my funeral." There's also a librarian with an accent straight out of "Fargo," and a bored, Columbo-like detective. Nancy deals with magicians, including Houdini, and young detectives learn several magic tricks along the way. This is a fun, gorgeous, highly addictive game that will keep your young detectives busy for hours. There are plenty of exciting twists and turns and nooks and crannies to explore, and "The Final Scene" is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Summary: Nancy Drew: Final Scene, by HerInteractive
Review: This was an ok game. It wasn't as good as the other games I have played. It had a fun plot, but it got kind of boring as I continued to play it. The "3-Days" idea got a little annoying after a while. But, still this game pretty good.

Summary: Nancy Drew: TRT, by HerInteractive
Review: This was a very good game. It was an improvement since the first game, "Secrets Can Kill", also by HerInteractive. This game was challenging and fun, and can be played numerous times. Everytime you play, you can find something new that you never noticed before. I'm glad I bought this game.

Summary: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Review: I can't believe how stupid I am. I've been working on this game for about 3 months and can't figure it out. I'm even reading the book for clues and getting nowhere fast.I've tried everything my mind could possibly think of. I'm 13 years old. I feel like I should be able to figure this out but all I've been doing is meandering the halls of the castle for endless hours sometimes up until midnight. I've read everyone else's review and most everyone say it took them a day or 12 hours or something like that. I don't know what to do.It's really stressing me out here. sometimes I have dreams about this game. It's scarey!Did you know in the book Prfessor Hotchkiss is a boy and in the game professor is a girl???I find that almost hilarious.If it wasn't for my stupidity the game is quite interesting. Although the music is scarey.What's with the banging sounds? How do you get outside?Why haven't I ran into anybody? It seems like the castle is deserted.

Summary: Superb Puzzle!
Review: This game had great graphics and plenty of things for you to do! Still this game was short because you only have 3 days! It's pressuring, scary, and hard! I'd say it's one of the hardest Nancy Drew games! I only liked 1 character in this game though...still it's a mystery you JUST HAVE to solve!
The story-Nancy Drew has bumped into her old high school friend, Maya Nguyen, who was about to do an interview with the charming Brady Armstrong, actor. But something goes terribly wrong. Just as Maya steps into the room for the interview, someone kidnaps her! The kidnapper threatens to take Maya down with the theater that is being demolished in 3 days unless Nancy stops the demolishion. Nancy is now compelled to crack the amazingly hard puzzle! As she works to uncover the mystery, she meets new suspects such as Brady Armstrong, an amazingly cocky actor, Nick, a young man trying to save the building, Simone, a rude acting agent, and Joseph, an old employee in the projection room. Nancy soon discovers, within the little time she has, secrets from each character and things she never thought would happen!
