(Although points given to HER for accurately portraying actors in a theatre troupe.) At the same time they are also four of the most boring characters to ever be in a Nancy Drew game.

Nancy takes what should be a fabulous trip to Greece and spends the ENTIRE time dealing with four weirdos in a museum filled with fake art.Д®very character in this game is a narcissistic, annoying, liar. Speaking of things that waste their potential, that is basically the gist of this game. As an actor, I can promise you there is no production on earth (let alone one that is only a front) with an entire underground interactive set that somehow NEVER makes it on stage for a single second of the show it was supposedly built for. So points to Nancy for being a straight-up G I guess? Can't say the same for this game, though. However, all the points are taken back as Nancy completely ignores this advice (as well as Ned trying to tell her he is depressed) and instead chooses to hang up on him so we can hang out with the Hardy Boys. Also points given to Ned as this game's phone contact for reminding us that the Hardy Boys actually get paid for their life-risking detective work and we are being SCAMMED. Though points to HER for accuracy as she must have had to haggle 24/7 since all of her cases and high-profile jobs (including this one, naturally) are UNPAID. This is really saying a lot considering how often she has to do it. Sure this game has the Hardy Boys, but you almost wouldn't know it as they look unrecognizable AND significantly worse than they did in Last Train To Blue Moon Canyon - which (shockingly) came out BEFORE this.ДЄlso, this game has the worst 'Nancy has to do boring activities to earn money' plotline in all of Nancy Drew history. The hardest puzzle in the entire game is basically just a science lab that I would have gotten a 'C' on in middle school. This game takes place in Hawaii, but Nancy spends 90% of it looking at bug poop.

Thrilling! This game made me more coo-coo than all the clocks. If only he knew! The most exciting thing that happens in the entire game is we can basically admit to Frank Hardy that we have intimacy issues. We can call Ned and the Hardy Boys which is a plus, but we spend half the time fighting with Ned and the other half listening to him mope about how our life is so exciting while his is super lame. Not a single one of them is hot or interesting. The puzzles are awful (this game has the most annoying underground tunnels of all time which is really saying a lot) and the suspects are beyond lame. Yes! This game throws it back to the early Nancy Drew days by making us use a landline! Which, believe it or not, is the least inconvenient part of this game. This is probably fueled by the fact that this place has the world's worst cell phone reception. To make matters worse, not only does every suspect in this game have an over-the-top German accent, but they are also weirdly obsessed with board games. You would think staying in a castle in a foreign country where a monster is on the loose couldn't possibly be boring, but this game says, 'hold my beer!' Not only does she take what must be a 9-hour flight where they lose ALL of her luggage, but they somehow also manage to send her to the most boring place she has EVER been. This is Nancy's WORST vacation of all time. But even so, after trying to play this game, believe me youвЂ™ll need a drink too. Look, I understand, this game came out in 1999. This game gets last place based solely on the fact that I forgot to grab an item in one area and had to either re-start the entire game or wait 45 REAL minutes for time to pass within the game to go back and get it. (Which I guess is how strangers judged your boyfriend's hotness level before social media.) A hilarious aside made even funnier by the fact that Ned is voiced by a completely different actor here than in the rest of the series. One of which is just Maddy saying Ned's voice sounds cute. You receive multiple handwritten messages that are left for you next to a landline telephone. Half the evidence is on videotapes, faxes, and floppy disks. I mean it was made in a time where soap stars were still considered relevant. Look, this game is terrible, but can you really blame it? It's ancient.
