Nancy Drew®: Legend of the Crystal Skull

I want to like this one so much, and it is fun and does have a lot of good moments, but it's just a little slow throughout. It feels like every puzzle and plot point takes forever to get to. A lot of wandering around trying to trigger the next thing. The setting is fun though and the characters are great.

Great Mystery Game! Sadly, not alot of exploring around New Orleans, very focused on the 2 main places, but still fun! The Glass Eyes are a riot! Ive played every game in this series, and while this is not top10, its still a solid game, for an easy play thru.

It is a terrible nonsense game

10/10

IF YOUR GAME REFUSES TO LAUNCH: Ensure this game installs to your C Drive or it WILL NOT launch! I thought the game was just busted for the longest time till the thought occurred to me. Move it to the C drive, and all will be well.

I enjoyed this game a lot with its characters, story, and map. I actually wish I could've gotten to know some of the characters a little better. The use of hoodoo and spiders were not my favorite, and I really disliked that I constantly had to spin around the room to find doors, etc. I found the puzzles to be mostly logical; I did need help on one or two. Definitely worth getting. 8/10

Love! Perfect mix of puzzles, character interactions, and storyline. Great background music and pace of play. This was just as good as I remembered it being from childhood. Junior detective hardness offers hints and means you don't die, so I liked that, too.

I felt that this game was one of the best in terms of big picture and one of the worst in terms of the little details. The general plot kept you as the player hooked, and that's exactly what these types of games should do. That said, there were three major complaints I had about this game. First, the main graveyard puzzle was FAR too long. Considering each time you have to go back and forth between house and graveyard every time you get a new clue, that should have been maybe half as long, maybe even shorter. Secondly, the ending didn't make any sense - there was no sense of catching the villain, who just does a terrible thing and then just sits there and doesn't even try to escape afterward. Why doesn't the villain run? It doesn't make any sense. Third and worst of all, the circumstances surrounding Bruno Bolet's death being considered "murder" is a stretch at best. I won't go any further on this point because to do so would be major game spoilers, but suffice it to say that the answer that we get practically means that the skull's powers, if any, have a big asterisk next to it that effectively undoes any effectiveness it claims to have. On to the things I did like - the marble game was my favorite, which is a personal preference, but hey, it's my review. The bird feather puzzle was fun, and most of the rest of them were fun too. I did feel that some of them were a little bit difficult to figure out the rules, but the games themselves were lots of fun. Overall, a good experience, but with several major areas for improvement. 6/10.
