Amazon.com Review: Nancy Drew has always been a great heroine, but she seemed kind of, well... stuffy. No more: Nancy gets down to the dirty work of crime solving in the excellent and engaging Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger. As you might imagine, we see a lot of software, but Danger captivated us, holding us long enough to postpone other reviews while we searched for more clues!
In the game, Nancy's job is to investigate death threats coming to Rick Arlen, a hunky TV soap star. The plot is straightforward enough, and here's what the software really does well: ambiance. The first-person perspective puts you in the center of the crime scenes, and the inventive game design lets you pick up objects for investigation and keep notes on things you've found.
Occasionally, you come across another person, and it can often be surprising. In the style of Choose Your Own Adventure books, you're given various questions to ask, and what you choose alters the outcome of what you learn. The people seem a little stiff in conversation (and, to be honest, in the graphics), but in a strange way, it helps increase the creepiness factor--an uptight verbal response makes sense, considering they're being interviewed about a serious crime.
There's a real rush that comes from finding key elements and extracting just the right piece of information from an unwitting witness. Nancy Drew, first created as a female version of the Hardy Boys in 1929, has weathered fashion and tastes well through the work of HerInteractive. For girls too old for "kids' stuff" but who still want a game that's all theirs, Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger can help fulfill a teen or preteen's need for adventure. --Jennifer Buckendorff

This game was supossed to be fun and enjoyable, but for some reason when I bought a new game the sent me an old beat up scratched box. Then when we tried to install it it couldnt find a "pathway" to the computar theres 14.00 you'll never get back. Its only for the old computars and it wont even work on a new xps 400[and thats not even new].
Rating: - great game
this is a fun game, good for mystery fans to solve and for people who are starters. if you are interested in mysteries but can't find good games this is the series and a good game to start with. it is a little difficult, though, but its barely frustrating. the graphics are good, the mystery is good, and there is nothing bad about it.
Rating: - A review
I think this is a pretty good game. I have to admit, the graphics aren't great, but they're better than the first game. In the game, you play Nancy Drew, a detective. The plot is pretty good too, and it keeps you so preocupied you will feel as if you really are Nancy Drew. If you are looking for a quick game, I have to warn you this may not be for you. It can take abot 2 or 3 days to complete. Except for some graphics and minor flaws(ex. no one blinks and it can take some time to install, depending on your computer) I really enjoyed playing this game!!
Rating: - Fabulous! Stupendous! Awesome!
OMG! This game is like, the best! The graphics were great, and the personalities of the people were great too! Almost everyone seemed like a suspect, and more than one person was the culprit. Being herinteractive's second game, this is great!
Setting:
The setting takes place in the big apple. (New york) You are able to go to three places:An apartment, a tv studio, and another apartment.
What it's all about:
It's about a man named Rick Arlen getting death threats! He stars as Rory Danner on a soap opera called "Light of our love." The death threats are extremely creepy.
Suspects:
There are 7 suspects. The first one, of course, is Rick Arlen. He's very "full" of himself and has a crush on practically everyone he sees. Even Nancy. Is he writing himself the death threats for publicity? The second one is an ex of Rick. Her name is Mattie Jenson. She is sweet, and also stars on Light of our Love, and is suppost to be the girlfriend of Rory Danner on the show.but you never know what's behind her sweetness. The third is another ex of Rick. Lillian! She's the director of the show, and has major anger problems over Rick. She's so mad that Rick left her for her friend in LA, she's probably mad enough to kill. The other suspect is the prop master, Millie Strathhorn. She's a very ecccentric person, and thinks Rick is a big fake. The other is Dwayne who hates Rick. I mean hates Rick! He's the talent agent for Mattie, and the former one of Rick. Is he the killer? And the other is Bill Papas. He's mad at Rick, since Rick is threatning to leave Light of our love, and move on the the movie career. You don't actually see him, just hear him. And last, but maybe least, is the security guard! Watch out if he finds you snooping around! Not a major suspect, but I'd keep him on your suspect list if I were you.
Graphics:
The graphics were awesome!
Over all rating:
5 stars! You should really get this game! It can be a bit confusing sometimes, but still! You should really get it!
Rating: - Great Game!
This was probably one of my favorite games from Herinteractive. The graphics were very realistic, the music was fun, and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire game! The puzzles in the game were pretty challenging, so I wouldn't recommend to a new slueth. Buy this game if you love mysteries; you'll be in for a great time!
