Nancy Drew The White Wolf of Icicle Creek
SCORE: 86
Nancy Drew has been a favorite of teenage girls for quite a few
years. Nancy Drew the White Wolf of Icicle Creek (yes a very long name
to say) plays in the same way Derek does. There is more interaction than
in Derek, and it really feels like playing a choose your own adventure.
Her Interactive was even gracious enough to leave the player a task list
so they do not need to remember all the different clues, and/or what to
do next. Purchasing this game will not break the bank either. All of the
young ladies enjoying the Nancy Drew movie in the theater should
definitely check out this game on the Personal Computer (PC).
The visuals in Nancy Drew TWWOIC are very nicely done. I could always
tell that I was playing a video game, but some of the areas are photo
realistic like Myst. The different areas of the winter wonderland, and
lodge look the way I picture them from reading a Nancy Drew mystery
novel. There are a few violent images like explosions, but these are
shown as bad things.
The audio department of Nancy Drew TWWOIC is spectacular. The voice
acting is spectacular. The emotion was portrayed by the different actors
in quite a nice manner. The voice of Nancy Drew sounds realistic, and
fits the character quite nicely.
Only one person can play Nancy Drew TWWOIC at a time, but there are
multiple save options. This game really is a one shot deal, unless the
player forgets about who is to blame for the mystery. There are some
nice little mini games included that make this game fun. My personal
favorite was cooking meals, and getting them right for the patrons
waiting patiently. The low price of this game makes it one worth
checking into, especially if your child likes Nancy Drew.
Some of the controls in Nancy Drew TWWOIC took me some time to figure
out. The cursor of the mouse changes in certain areas of the screen to
close a book, back up, turn around, etc. Once I figured it out, then
things were good. The realism in a great many things in regards to the
controls is very nice to see.
Her Interactive is doing young women a service by releasing Nancy
Drew TWWOIC, and their website has many more Nancy Drew video games.
Nancy helps others, and takes a criminal off the street by solving a
mystery. This is a game that is safe for the entire family, but a
reading ability is needed in order to play it.
