Nancy Drew®: The Shattered Medallion

This felt like a practical joke. At no point was I sure what the plot was, what my goal was, or what on Earth anyone was doing or talking about. It all felt very confusing and sporadic. The characters were odd and unhelpful, even Bess, particularly Bess actually. Overall the weirdest ND game thus far. It's still better than Trail of the Twister, but only because the puzzles were pretty decent and there wasn't a ton of useless tasks/chores to do.

Compared to other Nancy Drew games, The Shattered Medallion seems sloppily put together. It's all over the place and gives off a strange vibe considering it is a competition. P.S. WORST. ENDING PUZZLE. EVER.

All of the tasks, none of the mystery.

The first Nancy Drew game after about 30 titles that I don't understand the plot of, nor really understand the ending puzzle. I guess it's all about the journey... right? What?

I honestly don't know what other reviewers are talking about. This game is hilarious and awesome. It's really unlike other ND games in that it's not a standard "mystery" per-se but I thought the plot was goofy and weird and fun. Plus, it felt like some great fan service given that this is the third to last game before Her interactive completely ruined this franchise. Highly recommend.

I have played Nancy Drew games since I was nine years old... this isn't a favorite by any means. I won't break it down into pros and cons, because they are not as clear cut with this game, but some of my main thoughts are that: * My biggest issue is plot... it doesn't really have one. Sure, you are trying to "win" the show, but your actions don't affect that directly. * It is nice to meet Sonny, but he felt a little disconnected from the man fans know from previous games. * The graphics are not bad and there are a decent number of places you can visit. * The puzzles were not my cup of tea... but that may be in part because I wasn't interested in the game most of the time. * No solid reason for the villain to do what they did. Yes, there were hints as to why they might have done it... but really, I felt let down and was glad for the game to be over. All in all the game is not for me; if you, like me, want to try it in spite of the negative reviews, then of course do so... but if you can get it on sale, all the better.

I am apparently in the minority, but I actually really enjoyed this game. As a long time enjoyer of the series, I can see where people get that they miss the standard formula to the ND games, but I don't think this was a bad or far fetched deviation. There was enough mystery to keep me involved. Sure some of the characters weren't as fleshed out as they are in other games, but I found them colorful enough not to lose my interest. It was nice to finally put a face to the infamous Sonny Joon. Give it a chance for yourself instead of blindly listening to the reviews. Especially if you love the series.

Actually one of my favourites because it is so different from the typical adventure format and I love the inclusion of background lore with Sonny from nearly every game it seems. Loved the puzzles, loved the story, loved the scenery, just amazing and fun.
