Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered
SCORE: 80
I really like it when developers go back and update an older game.
Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered is just that. This Personal
Computer (PC) mystery game takes the first Nancy Drew game from Her
Interactive and brings it up to current specs. With that said it also
gave me a way of seeing just how far Her Interactive has come over the
years. Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered is the story of a murder
at a high school, and Nancy is needed to solve the case. Family Friendly
Gaming was blessed with a reviewable copy.
The visuals in Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered are very
realistic. The high school looks just like one, as do the other locales.
There is some violent content in Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered,
along with drugs. The ESRB is very accurate with their Everyone 10+
rating. The characters do not have many animations, but that will not
bother long time fans of the series.
I expected some clunky voice acting for some reason. That part of Nancy
Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered has been updated as well. Nancy is
trying to find the truth in this area. I also noticed an underlying
message of wasting your life thanks to drugs. That is a great message to
catch in a video game. The attitudes expressed by the various characters
is classic.
Since Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered is based on an older game I
believe there is not as much replay value. Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill
Remastered seems shorter to me. There are some new puzzles, and a new
ending. No I will not spoil the ending for you. If you played the
original there is enough new content to warrant a look. If you have not
played it, and like the Nancy Drew games, then you will certainly enjoy
Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered.
It is really great to see recent series innovations put into Nancy Drew
Secrets can Kill Remastered. The game plays as quickly as you can solve
the puzzles. Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered also has some
flexibility to it. I found I could do certain things at different point
without the game punishing me. This is a neat feature that lets the
player feel like the game is not completely linear. I had fun playing in
this environment.
Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered deals with some heavy issues.
There is murder, and drugs. If you let your children play Nancy Drew
Secrets can Kill Remastered, be prepared to have conversations on these
topics. It is a good thing to steer your kids clear of both. So you can
use Nancy Drew Secrets can Kill Remastered as a tool to explain what is
wrong with both of them. I hope Her Interactive continues to remaster
earlier games. Not everyone was around when they started this lengthy
franchise.
