There is no plot interdependency, and the games can be played in any order. Except for the very first one (whose 'puzzles' consist of encoded messages posted on every wall telling Nancy exactly what's going to happen later in the plot), quality is extremely consistent from game to game. Series: There are at least 21 different Nancy Drew games in the series, and by the time you read this review, there may well be more. Game-play is extremely forgiving-there are one or two timed challenges in each game, and a few chances for Nancy to die or fail in her quest, but by using a special "Second Chance" button you can automatically replay any scene you messed up, so there's no real way to lose these games or paint yourself into a corner. I would recommend Captive Curse, Shadow at the Water's Edge or Deadly Device before you buy this game.General Review of Nancy Drew Video Games Series Style: The Nancy Drew games are first-person puzzle-adventure games with a rudimentary point-and-click interface. This game was hyped up a little for me and I think it fell short. A must-buy to complete a Nancy Drew collection, however, there are better ones. If you want a puzzle-heavy game with great characters, I think you will be pretty happy with your purchase. To sum it up, if you are looking for a story driven Nancy Drew game, you have come to the wrong place. And that's usually the best part of the game. And the unveiling of the true villian was extremely anti-climatic and boring. I would have loved for Nancy Drew to find fake journal entries written by the Pharaoh and Nefetari similar to what was found in Shadow Ranch or Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. And seeing as most of the storyline comes from them, I was disappointed. Basically, another puzzle intensive game. It seems like the majority of the game was spent solving senseless puzzles and decoding hieroglyphics. However, fans of the Nancy Drew series may be disappointed with this one.

Thank you, HerInteractive, but your Queen is in Another Tomb.Īs to be expected, HerInteractive produces a fun, entertaining game with great graphics.
