Summary: This One Is Awsome!
Review: I've played Message in A Haunted Mansion, and found it too hard, so I decided to try this one. I really liked it. I think its so funny how Rick acts, and thinks hes the hottest guy in the world. The only bad part was the bomb in Rick's dressing room, cause you have about 20 seconds to figure out what color wire to cut in which order. And I found the old lady in the prop room a little bit annoying, but thats ok. All the Nancy Drew games lead you to believe that the culprit is somebody else then who it really is. Its fun, yet challenging, and it will keep people playing for hours!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as Good as Others, But still a Good Mystery
Review: This game involves you (playing Nancy Drew) visiting a friend, Mattie Jensen in NYC. Mattie is a Soap Opera star, hoping you can help her solve the mystery of a fan stalking her co-star, Rick Arlen. At first, the fan only sent him "odd letters", but now is sending him broken watches, and poisoned chocolates. Only you can solve the mystery! This game is fun and funny!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for kids who love Nancy Drew.
Review: My 10 year old daughter is a huge fan of Nancy Drew. We bought this as a way to keep her occupied through the summer. She really likes the game. I like the game because it makes her slow down and pay attention to instructions and clues. It has been a slight challenge for her to get started and learn (her dad had to help her play a bit in the beginning) but now that she knows what to do, she really enjoys it.

Summary: Nancy's on ANOTHER case!
Review: This was the first Nancy Drew game I have played. Instantly, I became hooked on Nancy Drew! It took hours to drag me away from the computer! There were more suspects that in the other ND games, which made you more suspicious. There were various puzzles, different rooms, and other places to explore. The city itself was very accurate! (I live there-LOL). It was annoying having to use the taxi everytime (why not use the subway instead, for a change?).
This is a brief summary of what awaits you: Rick Arlen, a daytime TV star, has been getting death threats on the set of soap opera "Light of our Love". From broken watches to poisoned chocolate, from ranson-type notes to dead roses, Nancy stumbles upon one of her freakiest cases. From getting caught in TV studios at night, to getting blown up by a bomb in a dressing room, there are plenty of ways to get kicked out. Be careful where you step, as the culprit definetely doesn't want you to solve the case, and is setting various traps! The ending is the creepiest... I jumped 10 feet into the air! Buy this game if you love Nancy Drew!

Summary: Stay tuned for¿rather ho-hum snooping and Muzak.
Review: "Stay Tuned for Danger" marked my fifth Nancy Drew game from Her Interactive (yes, I play them out of order), and next to "Secrets Can Kill" was my least favourite. It seemed to have fewer locations and possibilities than other games: for instance, you can only explore the living room in Mattie's apartment, two dressing rooms, a set (although you generally can't pick up/interact with the props), and an agent's office. Also, many of the necessary snooping activities were not readily evident in some cases and I spent a good amount of time backtracking, hunting through scraps of paper for scribbled codes, and then I had to download a patch from Dreamcatcher Games' website in order to beat the endgame sequence, since, being a random timed puzzle, no matter how fast I worked to solve it I never had enough time.

Nancy is in New York visiting Mattie Jensen, a famous actress on the (imaginary) soap "Light of Our Lives." Mattie's co-star, leading man Rick Arlen, has been receiving death threats and has nearly been killed a mysterious accident. Who is the culprit? Lillian, the director and Rick's ex? Dwayne, Rick's fired agent? Mattie, once the love of Rick's life? The mysterious woman in the prop room who is heir to the studio's fortune? The security guard? It's up to Nancy to find out.

Unlike "Secrets Can Kill," "STFD" features 3D models and backgrounds instead of animated characters. Also, Nancy can change the clock from day to night since some required actions occur then. I liked the map of New York that let Nancy get around, but the cab drivers always had the same annoying voices and lines. More variety, please. The Muzak in the studio hallways was also a nice touch. Thankfully, there are no (well, almost) random frustrating word/number puzzles that were so common in "Secrets Can Kill." I did feel like I spent a lot of time wandering around, and in one case I had to keep sneaking back into an office since I didn't have the required items/information to complete the game. Also, another clue seemed to hint that you needed to do more than necessary, so I spent a good deal of time trying to call a shop during the day in order to talk to someone when I discovered that that was as far as the clue went. Overall, this is a fun mystery for Nancy Drew fans and computer sleuths. There are some tricky sequences and three levels of difficulty to keep you searching, interviewing and snooping for hours. "Stay Tuned for Danger" is an impressive sophomore effort from Her Interactive, and I look forward to new additions in the Nancy Drew (cyber)universe.

Summary: Fun, but not as Exciting
Review: Overall, this Nancy Drew game was pretty much AWESOME. But there is a qualitiy of a good mystery missing here. Suspense. This game isn't THAT exciting until the end, and I'm not going to tell you what happens there! I didn't like taking taxi's everywhere either. But that wasn't THAT annoying. Otherwise, I recommend this Nancy Drew game as I do all others (except Secrets Can Kill) . Her Interactive scores again! Please tell me if this review was helpful or not. Thanks.

Summary: I'm 25 years old and I love the Nancy Drew Computer Games
Review: Nancy Drew games aren't just for young girls...I'm 25 years old and I found the games challenging enough for me and super fun. I hope they keep making them...I have a hard time finding games that I like...most games seem more male-oriented and very hard to complete. I highly recommend these games to anyone that likes mysteries!

Rating: 4 stars
