Another early Nancy Drew game, another that uses a lot of ugly cheap CG models placed directly next to a lot of real photos. This is the last game that does this thankfully.

Outside of that, while the overall layout of the areas, plot and puzzles are much better, the game suffers from a clumsy time-mechanic where you need to change to exploring only at certain times to find clues. In theory this should work but in reality it leads to a lot of backtracking between locations and hoping for the best. Theres also a rather nasty unwinnable situation you can stumble into which hurts the game even moreso.

Again, another title thats really only for the hardcore Nancy Drew fans.
