Too Short [Posted on 2007-11-04]
We own all of the Nancy Drew CD-Rom games and this game was very short compared to the others. The graphics were good, the characters were good, but the game play was not long at all. Both of my girls finished the game in record time and were also disappointed with the ending itself.

What Happened? [Posted on 2007-11-19]
I own and have played all of the Nancy Drew games prior to this one and loved them all! NOT THIS GAME! What did happen? This game not very good! It lacks puzzles, story, and fun. I was really excited by the interesting storyline presented on the box, but it certainly wasn't a very big part of the game! Enough ranting, here is my review.

Plot- D+ What plot? I never really figured out the plot. There is no creature, so don't get your hopes up there!

Graphics- A++ The fact that the graphics were beautiful was the only reason I gave this game 3 stars. From the waves lapping the beach, to the lush forests, the graphics were incredible! A++++++++++ (This is practically the only good thing I have to say about the game, but it was great!)

Puzzles- C+ There were very few puzzles to actually solve, and you spent most of your time sorting... frass. Frass, in case you don't know, is a fancy way to say insect poop. Lovely. My dream way to spend a few hours! Oh, and you get to study it under a microscope! Aren't you excited already!

Ending- B This game took me about six hours to solve total. Then it ended very abruptly. It was a very, very, very, very short game. There were only four characters in the game, and two of them were involved in the crime. How can you be surprised when they reveal the culprit!

Content A++++ The only other good thing about the game besides the graphics is that (unless sorting frass for hours would somehow be against your principles) it is clean for everyone. No language, no violence.

Overall- C Don't waste your money on this game unless you are a die hard fan of the Nancy Drew games like myself. At least then you can tell yourself that you are being loyal to the games that you used to love. I do still love the old games!

Educative but not spell-binding [Posted on 2008-01-22]
Nancy Drew, the young girl private detective, features nowadays in books, films, and games. The games, some of the best of their type, have been played recently by three generations of my family. They provide elements of adventure, detection, co-ordination skills, and problem solving. Individual choices and interests probably govern which games a user will prefer. One that has been played by various family members this year is No 15: "The Creature of Kapu Cave". The setting is Hawaii. Go for it, if you wish to spend an imaginative escape amongst lush vegetation. Anyone with an interest in botany will enjoy this one, but those who respond to the magic of story-telling and the lure of mystery will be disappointed.

A good ND game [Posted on 2008-03-14]
Replayed it twice so far. A good game. Only hard part was analyzing specimens. Guess that's what walkthroughs are for. LOL

Fun and Exciting [Posted on 2008-07-05]
Wow! To Deception Island to the Hawaiian islands, Nancy Drew's still got it! From a book to your computer screen in this lifelike mystery adventure, starring nancy Drew and Joe Hardy!
