Great Idea [Posted on 2006-07-12]
The best way to buy these games is to buy them in a comp pack like this. Although I am a collector and have usually purchased my games in a single package, the Double Dare comps are like a BOGO sale - Buy One Get One Free.

The Secret of Shadow Ranch is the first game HerInteractive has created based on the original Nancy Drew mystery stories - this one being the most popular of the series. Because of this, I assumed that the game would follow the plot line of the story. It doesn't. Not even a little bit. The other characters bear a slight resemblence, but it's a completely new story. I enjoyed the play, but there were some games and puzzles that were almost impossibly challenging. I had to go online to the community message board more than once to track down hints and tips.

The Curse of Blackmoor Manor was a much more intriguing play and took me a little bit longer to solve. I'm a jumpy person anyway, and with that in mind, I shouldn't have started the game in the middle of the night. It's a little creepy in the beginning. There is some interesting history about England for those who feel the need for at least something educational in a computer game. I felt much more satisfied with the ending of this case than the other one because I had to use the second chance option many times - meaning I worked harder.

These games are a little addicting, but they're fun and a good challenge.

So much fun! [Posted on 2006-07-24]
I am still playing these games, and they are so much fun (and creepy!)

Great games but ... [Posted on 2007-06-09]
These two flaps of Nancy Drew's adventures are very interesting. The decor is awesome, the gameplay is always well suited and I found no bug when playing to these games (unlike to what happened to some previous flaps). I am just a little worried about two points : first, as a French guy, one or two enigmas were not so easy to solve (maybe because of my poor knowledge of english ! lol) and secondly the end of the Blackmoor's Manor slightly disappointed me because I expected something more spectacular. Basically, Nancy Drew's fans will certainly be satisfied by these games. I assigned 4 stars to these games because I couldn't assign them 5 stars. Anyway I really think these games would deserve 4.5 stars.
