First Nancy Drew game. |
|
Pretty good game. Would have taken a lot longer if not for the hints web site. Never did get par on the golf course. |

|
Very Short |
|
I liked the game. I liked working for money but the game was really shorter than the others I have played. This one was quite easier than the others as well. |

captions |
"Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock" is open captioned, and, I might add, the captions are very nicely done. Even sounds, like phones ringing or explosions, are captioned, much like we expect from TV. I just wish that the mud puddles and the potholes in the road had their sounds captioned since they're important; I suffered several flat tires before I happened to turn the sound up and heard that those "spots on the screen" might have meaning.
While I readily admit to having had "differences" with Nancy Drew manufacturers, and have been downright furious with them at times, this isn't one of them. LOL. The game works perfectly, even with Vista, and without having to make the computer pretend it has XP. |

Fun but confusing |
|
I really enjoyed playing this game. It really does pass the time. My only problem with the game is that sometimes you don't know what to do next. I guess they want you to try to talk to everyone and look at everything but some steps I completely missed until I went over the game guide. I recommend getting the game guide or using the discussion boards at the publishers website. I'll be buying more of these for sure. |

Really Short |
|
I'm not sure what they were thinking. I've played five of the Nancy Drew games and this one was significantly and very noticeably short compared to the others. Otherwise, a fun game. |
