Summary

A fun game for when it's raining outside and just play with yourself or with friends or family, it's a fantastic game!

The Good

Practically everything. I'm 12 years old, and I play about 1 game a year, since i think i was...8 or 9. "Secret of the Old Clock" is so far one of my favorites. The music is very good in my opinion, as it can totally freak you out, or get you in a good mood. The characters where very well made, i though the graphics for them could have been a bit better. The plot was genius, as there were always difficult puzzles to do and parts of the mystery to be solved. All in all, this was a very well done game, the plot and the way it always keeps you guessing on what to do next. I also loved at the time it was set, 1930, and her interactive did a very good job implying it. Good job Her interactive!

The Bad

There are flaws in every fantastic game, as in this one. Though fun at times, the job you get as a telegram deliverer can get very annoying at times when you need money. Especially when you never get any tips.... The characters graphics where a bit blurry, but the other objects were spectacular. This is one of 4 Nancy drew games I have completed, and the shortest one of them. Her interactive, I realize the pressure from all Nancy Drew fans for there to come out a new game, but don't you think they'd enjoy it much more if it took longer time to come out, but also was a much longer game period?

The Bottom Line

This game is fantastic from all ages really. I play it myself and with my parents, so go ahead and try them. The game is exciting, scary, and the drive you feel as you have started to play the game to find out who the criminal is makes you want to play for hours and hours. Try it!
