The voice acting and script is bad compared to the older Nancy Drew series. I just find everyone so cringe. Also none of the characters are charming enough to be even a bit likable. They all hate Nancy. She says so herself when she calls Ned in the game! Bess and George, and the Hardy Boys don't make any appearances in the game with any useful hints or polite conversation. Ned pretty much is useless, too. They removed the hint voice over scripts from Nancy's friends probably because of budgetary constraints. You feel completely alone in this game. The mini games are also dull and lazily developed. Cooking in the kitchen is literally a puzzle game now. Where are the cooking features? None of the puzzles are fun to play anymore. I had to use the walkthrough the entire time I was playing.

I have been a huge fan of Nancy Drew games since I was a child. This game is another successful mystery solving puzzle, and the story behind it is fantastic. Moreover, the music is wonderful.

Nothing says "I love you" like a new murder tool!
