This second title in the Nancy Drew series has the titian-haired sleuth posing as an extra on a soap opera, trying to expose someone who's been threatening the show's star. Kids "become" Nancy and navigate the program in first person viewpoint, exploring, searching for clues and solving puzzles. In our first hour of play, we had to gather clues in an actor's apartment, make our way to the television studio, search it and piece together a torn letter that we found in a jewelry box. As we explored, we collected items for use later on, namely keys, a VCR remote control and a visitor's pass to the sound stage of the soap opera. We also called Ned on the telephone for a little TLC and phoned Nancy's buddy George for a little sleuthing advice. Reviewers and testers all loved the experience. The graphics are great, the game is very playable and the feeling of suspense and danger is definitely there. The game has three levels of difficulty and an embedded help system. We've yet to make it all the way to the end- let us know if you do!

Amazon.com Review
Nancy Drew has always been a great heroine, but she seemed kind of, well... stuffy. No more: Nancy gets down to the dirty work of crime solving in the excellent and engaging Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger. As you might imagine, we see a lot of software, but Danger captivated us, holding us long enough to postpone other reviews while we searched for more clues!

In the game, Nancy's job is to investigate death threats coming to Rick Arlen, a hunky TV soap star. The plot is straightforward enough, and here's what the software really does well: ambiance. The first-person perspective puts you in the center of the crime scenes, and the inventive game design lets you pick up objects for investigation and keep notes on things you've found.

Occasionally, you come across another person, and it can often be surprising. In the style of Choose Your Own Adventure books, you're given various questions to ask, and what you choose alters the outcome of what you learn. The people seem a little stiff in conversation (and, to be honest, in the graphics), but in a strange way, it helps increase the creepiness factor--an uptight verbal response makes sense, considering they're being interviewed about a serious crime.

There's a real rush that comes from finding key elements and extracting just the right piece of information from an unwitting witness. Nancy Drew, first created as a female version of the Hardy Boys in 1929, has weathered fashion and tastes well through the work of HerInteractive. For girls too old for "kids' stuff" but who still want a game that's all theirs, Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger can help fulfill a teen or preteen's need for adventure. --Jennifer Buckendorff

Bad Game
This game was supossed to be fun and enjoyable, but for some reason when I bought a new game the sent me an old beat up scratched box. Then when we tried to install it it couldnt find a "pathway" to the computar theres 14.00 you'll never get back. Its only for the old computars and it wont even work on a new xps 400[and thats not even new].

great game
this is a fun game, good for mystery fans to solve and for people who are starters. if you are interested in mysteries but can't find good games this is the series and a good game to start with. it is a little difficult, though, but its barely frustrating. the graphics are good, the mystery is good, and there is nothing bad about it.

A review
I think this is a pretty good game. I have to admit, the graphics aren't great, but they're better than the first game. In the game, you play Nancy Drew, a detective. The plot is pretty good too, and it keeps you so preocupied you will feel as if you really are Nancy Drew. If you are looking for a quick game, I have to warn you this may not be for you. It can take abot 2 or 3 days to complete. Except for some graphics and minor flaws(ex. no one blinks and it can take some time to install, depending on your computer) I really enjoyed playing this game!!
