I may not have the average perspective as the typical long-time Nancy Drew fan, but I loved this game. It is buggy depending on the type of system you have, but the story entertained me and I enjoyed a new experience from the typical games. I really like the more expansive point and click controls. I waited a very long time for this game to release and knew it would be different, so I went into the gameplay expecting exactly that. If you expect old HER graphics and gameplay, you will be disappointed, so go into it with a fresh mindset. I play this annually now in the fall. The Halloween theme is great. Love it and hope that HeR doesn’t stop creating things for us!
