Negative Positive
Title: Ehhhh...
Review: For being a game published in 2001, this should have been much better, at least technically, than it was. There was a poor timing match between the visual effects and the sound effects, it was difficult to find where to place the pointer in the save/restore area, the sounds/music were poorly recorded and generated a lot of hissing/static, and the too-frequent need to switch CDs during play were major minuses in a game that could have been ok. When Nancy has conversations with the characters, if the questions asked/answered aren't done in the proper order, the game doesn't progress and you either have to start over or restore a saved game. Also, saving is critical because there are some actions Nancy can take that will result in disaster, necessitating a restore.The story wasn't bad, even for an adult (very similar to the novels) but the technical flaws made this a exercise in frustration.
Is the review positive or negative?
