Hi
I played only one game of Nancy Drew....
A game that was reccommended by the reviewer of it "Legend of the Crystal Skull"... which I really enjoyed...
Obviously someone is buying these games if they keep coming one after another...
Since I'm considering to play another game of this series....
Which game of this series you consider to be the best?
I'm very curious to see which one will get most votes here..
I'm voting for the only game I have played ,
"Legend of the Crystal Skull",Duh....

[Keregioz]

"Crystal skull" is definitely the best of the series in my opinion.

[misslilo]

of the top of my head I would vote for "Phantom of Venice"

Yes, "Legend of the Crystal Skull" for me too. The best one. And i played all of them. My friend is a fanat of the series and she is providing me with disks. No use of telling her that i don't like it at all. I was hoping that "The Phantom of Venice" will be like "Crystal Skull" or even better. Nope. Same old Nancy Drew by Her

Hi
Ask her what she think is best, I wonder if she could pick one of them as her favourite...

[tarspoon]

I think she likes them all, but i'll ask. I remember she told me once that Danger by Design is one of her favourites.

[tarspoon]

I asked. Yeah. She likes them all but "Crystal Skull" Said that "Crystal Skull" is too gloomy and hard. And has an unpleasant 'eyes puzzle'.
Hmm. Her taste in games SO not like mine.

That's what I thought....Like a mother who loves all her children equally...

Hey ....My 100th Post Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeey !

[LadyLinda]

I would agree with the GameSpot poll and say "The Curse of Blackmoor Manor" is the best. It had the best mix of puzzles and the story was good too. It also had some mini-games you played to get clues and then you could play them anytime afterwards.

Well i played this 'Castle Malloy' thing. In my opinion game is terrible. Boring standart puzzles (and too simple puzzles. Nancy working AGAIN. This time she's a barman, reminded me of the 'White Wolf of Icicle Creek' - the maid simulator). And this ugly figure of Nancy running ugly in something like a map searching for a hot spots. I had to move my mouse pointer on this hot spots again and again because they did not highlight often. And Nancy would not go in this spots too. I had to run around this spots for Nancy to come in at last.
This game is just big piece of disappointment. I returned disk to my friend and said that i would not buy it. 'Crystal Skull' remains the only Nancy Drew game in my collection.

It was good of you to verify that this game should be the last choise for anyone willing to try out one of these games...
The ultimate table reflects the opinion of many users over the web...And I will consult it every time I will consider playing one of these games...
Try to squeeze a confession from your friend regarding the best game she played...
Tell her like this :" Let's say all your collection of nancy's games has been stolen except one that was still in the CD of your PC...Which one would you rather be saved ?"
She must confess ...
