$100,000,000 is at stake in this competition to discover a formula to predict tornado touchdowns. But when equipment starts failing and crew members are injured, playing as Nancy Drew you must join the team to keep them in the competition. Is it just bad luck that's plaguing the storm chasers or is someone sabotaging their chances of winning in Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twister? Gameplay Like other games in the popular Nancy Drew series, Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twister is a single player mystery adventure game with additional puzzle-solving elements and the ability to read case files, save clues and items found, etc. Players assume the roll of teenage sleuth Nancy Drew, going under cover as a tornado researcher/storm chaser, utilizing the familiar point-and-click game mechanic to explore game areas and interact with non-player characters and in-game items. In order to solve this mystery you will also need to immerse yourself in the science of storm tracking. With the help of the Canute storm chasing team that is just what you will do. To help gather the data, and keep the team safe, the chase team brings along trucks full of equipment, including the actual trucks themselves. A sampling of the hardware players can expect to come across are: weather balloons, doppler radar, wind speed measuring devices, computers, cameras and more. Pay attention to all of this because eventually you will be tested on it in a number of ways, not the least of which being sleuthing in game areas rife with tornado activity. The game also contains an economy that revolves around mini-game play. Players collect pennies through a variety of mini-games that will allow for the purchase of additional items in-game. These in turn allow for further progress in other aspects of the game. Additional gameplay features include adjustable difficulty settings. Key Game Features

Krolmeister--yes, THAT P.G. Krolmeister--has hired you to investigate a series of accidents befalling a team of Oklahoma storm chasers. As expected, the storm chasers are a bit of a motley crew, with the stirrings of distinctive, engaging personalities. By completing a series of assigned tasks, you move the plot forward without too much free exploration or play. However, unlike the equally task-driven Ransom of the Seven Ships, these puzzles are thoroughly solvable and not too time-consuming--which is too bad, because that's pretty much what you do. Talk to Debbie. Receive tasks. Complete tasks. Move on. This goes along at a pretty good clip; I watched the credits 10 hours on the nose after completing installation, and I did not play the game the entire time. With such a shallow experience, the ending felt sudden and forced, with barely any suspense and even less sleuthing. You do suspect various characters throughout the game, but not because...

My review will be spilt up into sections and have a in-depth look at that topic. Then at the end of the review I round up the stars and give an overall rating. -Interface The interface is just the same as Warnings At Waverly Academy and the other newer games. Just point in the direction you want to go in and click basically. There is a new icon though that is special to this game, that is the Phone icon and the Pa Pennies icon. The Phone icon lets you go onto Nancy's phone to make calls, take pictures, change the time in the game, and change the settings (background and color). I really liked the cell phone feature of this game. It's a lot of fun to take pictures and change the background of the phone to whatever you want from the game. Throughout the game, you can collect Pa Pennies which can be used to play an arcade game and buy candy. Overall, a great interface for playing, very...

However, as an adult Nancy Drew fan, I found it boring. There are LOTS and LOTS of tedious chores to do, many of which have nothing to do with solving the mystery. If you like spooky, edge of your seat, this is not going to provide that. I found the characters to be hokey and annoying. It was hard for my 11 yr. old to drive the car in this game. However, she solved many of the puzzles without cheats. One thing I love about HerInteractive is the great opportunity to learn something new in their games. You do learn about weather patterns, cloud formations and the like. Not my favorite by far but lots to do in this game if you like puzzles. VERY excited for the next game coming out! Looks very spooky and it takes place in Japan! |
