Customer Reviews

Nancy Drew Deception Island
I'm a Grandma to 6 and we do the Nancy Drew games together. Most of the time the kids are better then me at them. So far I have them all and this is one of the better ones we've played. I play it alone too. It's a game for all ages!

Fun for mother and daughter
I'm a member of a game site online, and had been very interested in trying out one of the Nancy Drew games. My 6 yr old daughter was sitting with me when I checked out the reviews, and she said we should download this one.

As this was my first time playing any such game, I played the Junior Detective version. It was fun! It was not as difficult as I thought it would be, although some parts did have me stumped- I had to do a search online for hints/tips to help me out. LOL I like that if you mess up (as in, get fired or killed), you can get a second chance and don't have to start over from the beginning. I love the graphics, and the plot wasn't too involved or scary (for me or for my 6 yr old). I played through once by myself, and then my daughter and I played through together. She really enjoyed it, and it certainly has me wanting to buy more games!

One of Her-Interactive's best!
I LOVE this game! The plot is intriguing, the gameplay submersive and interesting, the characters are unique, the music is great, and the setting is wonderful as well! :) (And just so you know, I AM a critiquer, so I would tell you if I disliked something ;)) I also love the history about the Maya thrown in there--GREAT game! I would highly recommend this, I believe it is one of Her-Interactive's best! :)
