Good, But Not Great...
I have played all of the Nancy Drew games, and was expecting great things from this game. I really did enjoy it, but it was somewhat different from the other games. You play Nancy (of course) who goes to Paris to assist a nutty fashion designer. Here is my take of the game.
Story: The story was interesting. It came across as being slightly far-fetched, but most ND stories are. That is part of what makes them so much fun. The story was developed well, and all of the characters were very engaging if a bit weird.
Puzzles: None of the puzzles in this game were all that difficult. I did have trouble with one, but I never had to consult a walk through or anything like that. Most of them were just common sense and were a moderate level of difficulty.
Graphics: The graphics were very realistic and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed exploring the catacombs and swimming underwater.
Ending: VERY far-fetched. So far-fetched that it was a little painful actually. Not the best ending that I think they could have come up with.
Overall: This game is well worth the money if you can get past the ending and the fact that the puzzles are not all that difficult. If you are new to the ND games, I wouldn't start with this one. Start with games 2-13 and I think you will be better off. This game is probably better left to experienced ND gamers who are loyal enough to forgive any flaws!! Like me... Hope I helped!

Not as fun as most of the ND games
My daughter and I love and anticipate all the Nancy Drew games, and this is by far our least favorite. The puzzles are really ridiculous or really easy. Nothing really seems to flow very well, it's all very choppy and separate from one another. We did enjoy the France backdrop though!

Fun!
This was the first Nancy Drew computer game I ever bought. I was originally looking for Everquest, when this one popped out at me. I hadn't known before that Nancy Drew was a computer game. So, I ditched Everquest and brought this home. Boy, am I glad that I did! It gave me thirteen hours of fun! The plot was a bit eccentric, as were the charcters, but that's easy to overlook.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I enjoyed the errands you were given. It made it feel like you really were an undercover detective. After all, Minette thinks you're an intern. Do you really think she's going to ask you to run around town and ask people questions? No! Plus, the errands give you a chance to meet all of the suspects.
The ending was slightly dissapointing. I wasn't happy with the explanation of Minette's mask. Overall, a nice, clean game with a bit of education. A nice tool for babysitters like me!

Good and Addicting
JUst wanted to say that I bought this as a gift for my sister. She requested it because she loves these kind of games. It's like being an investigator, trying to figure out every little detail. She is 15 years old and got addicted. I dropped it off with her on a Thursday and by Saturday morning I had a message on my phone from her that said she had beat the game. She spent a lot of time and effort on it but now the fun is over. I say it's probably a great purchase but don't do it all in one sitting. Take your time and enjoy the game. I would also recommend the other games Nancy Drew has to offer. Thanks and happy purchasing!

good nancy drew game
Good nancy drew game. Had much fun playing it. As usual, have your walkthrough ready. The story was good, just don't be excited for a cool reason Minette wears a mask.
