The Creature of Kapu Cave
This is certainly one of the weakest games in the series. Since The Curse of Blackmoor Manor, which was heavily criticized for being too difficult, it seems that the designers at Her Interactive have decided to err in the other direction. The puzzles are overly easy, and require little or no deductive reasoning. They also tend to be centered on chores that you must complete to advance in the game, but that otherwise bring you no closer to solving the mystery. This becomes very tedious, very quickly. ^M
Why bother? No comparison to other Nancy Drew games.
I was very disappointed with this game I have all but "Danger By Design" and this one I could have done without. There were no real puzzles in this game. You mostly ran around completing tasks for people. I gave it two stars for: the new GPS map, the cell phone switch, and the scenery. But as for the actual game play I give it 1 star.
Sheer Boredom
I love the Nancy Drew games and was highly dissapointed with this one. This is definitely the worse game yet. The title sounds exciting, but the game is sheer boredom. The puzzles not only fail to challenge the player, but they are useless and boring. There is barely any mystery-solving in this game. It is mostly comprised of needless and mundane tasks that others are telling Nancy or Frank Hardy to do. Most of these mundane tasks include looking at plant smaples under a microscope, fishing, and making necklaces. Come on HER Interactive, where is the action? the mystery? the intrigue? Let's hope the next one is up to par with the previous Nanvy Drew games.^M
