Video Game Reviews of Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle CreekCustomer Review: Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek Summary: 3 StarsI don't think this is one of Her Interactive's better games. The two mini-games are very frustrating. You cannot continue the game until you are successful at both of these games. The walkthroughs don't help either.
The story line is interesting, and I do like some of the activities that Nancy is required to complete as a maid. Cooking the food for each meal is a good memory exercise. Another mini-game (I think it's called the duck and wolf game) is fun.
I have stopped playing the game half way through because several puzzles lack logical steps in solving them and I had to resort to the walkthrough to move forward. After reading the walkthrough, I even went back in the game and tried to find the clues that would have moved me in the correct direction, but I couldn't find them. Oh well - I am a little ADHD and it is easy for me to overlook blaringly apparent pieces of information. Needless to say, this type of frustration has soured the game playing experience for me.
I have enjoyed all the other Nancy Drew games and one dud will not keep me from buying other Her Interactive games.
Customer Review: Not So Hot! Summary: 2 StarsMy 5-year-old daughter and I just finished Kapu Cave, which we both enjoyed playing together. My daughter was then looking forward to this newest release. But...
Firstly, it wouldn't run video at all (only audio) on our older laptop which runs XP. Very annoying start to say the leaast! We borrowed my husband's...
Then started playing - er, cooking...tediously...MANY times a day...completely interfering with our progress in the game. After a couple of days, we finally just stopped playing White Wolf, and my daughter hasn't asked about it since.
We hope the next game doesn't involve tedious "chores." We have enough of those already. Give us some real clues!
Customer Review: WOW!!! Summary: 5 StarsIf you LOVE Nancy Drew, if you LOVE her website, You will LOVE this game, too. Each game just gets better and better. Better graphics, better plots, better action. It is great. I have them all and can't wait for the next one.
Customer Review: THANK YOU Her Interactive, this one was worth the time... Summary: 5 StarsMy daughter and I own every Nancy Drew game: some are great, some are too short, some are too easy, this one was juuuust right. We had a blast and the puzzles were challenging for this Mom.
Can't wait for the next game. Keep 'em comin' !!!
Customer Review: Disappointment Summary: 2 StarsHER Interactive has done better in the past; and there is no excuse for this drab (endlessly monotonous), repetitive (boring, tedious), dreary (you get the idea) and frankly simple game. Unless you already have ALL the other ND games, and simple must have this one, choose something else.
