  • Summary: Olde World, a multimillion dollar vacation spot celebrating the peak of history’s greatest civilizations, is the brainchild of billionaire industrialist Thaddeus Belmont. On the eve of Olde World's opening, the usually boisterous billionaire hasn't been seen or heard from in days, and it’s u™s up to Nancy to unravel his mysterious disappearance. In Nancy Drew: The Deadly Secret of Olde World Park, players assume the role of the classic teenage super sleuth. Players must collect clues, decipher puzzles, follow suspects, sneak into areas and much more as they use their deductive reasoning skills to progress through 13 increasingly difficult chapters in graphic novel format. Touch Screen play is incorporated into unique conversation and unlocking mini-games, but players will also use the stylus in Nancy’s Clue Journal to access inventory and tasks.

    The game's major emphasis on telling a complete and engaging story saves what might have otherwise been a let down in terms of actual gameplay. The interactive elements are simple and, though they might not cut it with gaming veterans, should be just fine for most players looking for a good storytelling experience.

    The lacking depth of the mini-game designs and limited exploration aspects could be counted as a negative against The Deadly Secret, but are more likely to just make the adventure more accessible for young female gamers being newly introduced to the adventure genre.

    It's amazingly accessible for young players, features a proactive character for girls, and is a great way to introduce children to the adventure genre. And although long-time gamers will find the game to almost run on automatic, it also features a fast-paced crime story with surprise twists, and some smooth art.

    If your young one really wants to play a mystery-solving game, get them Hotel Dusk or one of the Phoenix Wright games, which actually involve some problem-solving. If, however, your kid is a die-hard Nancy Drew fan, just get them one of the books – it’s cheaper and you don’t have to put up with shallow, boring gameplay to get to the story.

    Very easy and finished it in a couple of days. Far too expensive for the amount of entertainment value.
