Still I figured out most of them, and I only had to quickly glance at a walkthrough a couple times (mainly out of laziness), and I had to get some hints from Nancy’s boyfriend, Ned and also Joe Hardy, whom you can call on the phone.
And they’re pretty clever, I thought, but hard.

This game does involve several cyphers and you have to figure out how to break several codes and secret messages. There's also a variety of puzzles and not just the usual stuff.
I'm not into card games as a rule, but I liked the variety in this game. I looked the game up on Wikipedia and I guess it’s one of the major national card games of Italy, which is cool. It’s actually a pretty fun card game, and requires some practice and skill to play, but it gave the sense of being in Italy. I usually hate that, but the major mini game in this is the card game Scopa which at first I found hard and frustrating, but after starting to get good at it, it felt pretty good when I finally beat my opponent fair and square. So I found myself having to do certain mini games over and over until I beat them. It should be said that one of the “trademarks” of ND games is that you can’t skip puzzles, minigames, or dialog. There’s not so much mystery but there is a sense of being undercover and working with the police and secret service which was great. There aren’t a ton of characters but they are colorful and fun to talk to. The setting of Venice is great and you get to learn something about it and get the feel of being there. This game has excellent voice acting and graphics as usual. You CAN lose, but it lets you try again right from the start of the perilous moment. No inuendos or unrealistically proportioned heroines in their under garments, like so many games these days. There’s some suspense in places, but nothing really scary in this particular game. I really like how wholesome these games are.
(Not exactly in my case since I’m a guy, but aside from that I do feel more like I'M the detective and not just controlling a detective character on screen, which is pretty cool.) I think that’s pretty cool because then it you feel more like your in her shoes. Even in the “paper doll” like view, showing what she’s wearing, she’s just a silhouetted outline. In this game you can also change what she’s wearing, and it really ties right into the plot, which I really liked. Usually when they do show her it’s only in silhouette or in this game there’s a dancing mini game but she’s completely covered in a costume and mask so again you never see her face. Now I’m a guy and am used to playing classic style adventure games like Monkey Island or Broken Sword or Secret Files. Now I’m so hooked I won’t be happy till I’ve played all 26! I never really liked first person adventures with hard puzzles until trying ND games. Thank you, Big Fish, for offering these games for sale.Ĭonfession of a ND Addict This has got to be one of my favorite Nancy Drew games. Now that both the games I lost are offered by Big Fish, I can recover them. Highlights include dancing at a music show and sneaking around a lab monitored by robotic cameras, and especially, joining in a police stakeout. Nancy doesn't shy away from the varied dangerous activities involved in tracking the villain known as The Phantom.Īdding to the fun is searching the different locations for spare Euros to help pay for snacks and gondola trips around the city. In Phantom of Venice, Nancy proves as usual to be a fearless investigator, dealing with a fascinating range of characters, including an anonymous rival whose identity is revealed in the game's conclusion. What a loss! Nancy Drew mysteries are unmatched for excellence when it comes to story, graphics, characters and challenge.

Free downloads to replace the games were unavailable. Happy Discovery Having bought this game, along with Ghost of Thornton Hall from the original producers, and having paid $5.99 in addition as insurance, I was dismayed to find that neither game would run, as coincidentally (?) the five-year insured term had run out.
