Nancy Drew - The Deadly Device for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  Deady Device is a Jolting Hit!

  As is the style of all Nancy Drew PC/Windows games, this is a first person point and click mystery game. This is an excellent addition to the collection of anyone who has played and enjoyed Nancy Drew games in the past. While I would recommend almost all of the games, what is nice is that this one seems very much like the earlier games in the sense of character development (think of the development/relationships we had in Secrets Can Kill!) No only that, but the plot is completely engaging. It's definitely a whodoneit until the game is over. I also enjoyed the new feature of "facetime" on Nancy's phone, but was sad to see that it was not a genuine video. This game is definitely better for the 12 and up crowd, as the puzzles can get challenging (I say this as a 21 year old who had to use the cheat codes) and it can be a little bit spooky- it is a murder mystery after all! Game runs really smoothly on my 2010 PC.

  You can't go wrong with this game!!!

  This was my first time playing Nancy Drew Games. I loved the game!!!! It was interesting, challenging & totally engaging. It really makes you think like a detective and it satisfies your need to play for days & weeks (if doing it in your spare time). The amount of control you haveover what questions to ask suspects and at what time is a great feature. I love that you can use Nancy's cell phone to get information and take photos of evidence . I'm ususally a big fan of hiden object adventures with a storyline and mini games to keep me immersed. I have played MANY< MANY of these type os games but Nancy Drew Blows them all out of the water. Well worth the $$$. I'm looking forward to downloading my next ND adventure.

  Deadly Device

  The game was actually pretty great. Some of the tasks were pretty difficult to complete, but unlike other Nancy Drew PC games, Deadly Device gave hints, and for certain tasks, even solutions! However, this is only so for the beginner level, Amateur Sleuth. It comes in handy when you are stumped, but at times it seems as if the game provides more hints than what is necessary. The game's excessive hints allow for fast game-play, which isn't entirely bad, especially for those who do not want to waste their entire day on the computer. Considering that it did not take as long as the other Nancy Drew PC games to complete, I believe that it should be priced cheaper. There are websites that have this game available for about nine dollars less! Part of the reason that I gave this game three stars is because the plot was too predictable. I had my suspicions from the beginning, only to have them confirmed as the game continued on. As far as the senario of the killer, I thought it was quite similar to Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill.

  One of the best yet!

  This game is great. I have played most of the other ones designed for Macs, but I liked this one a lot. I didn't jump and get scared very often, which is great for me. The game was very challenging. I got stuck on many of the puzzles, which is what I also enjoyed. The characters were fun to follow. I love the new set of this. My favorite new thing is the hints section. It helped me so much. I often felt like I was stuck with no return, but the hints helped me figure out everything perfectly! I love this game and would reccomend it to anyone!!
