Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave Review (continued)

Fun game for all ages
This game is a lot of fun but, at least with me and my grandkids, more geared towards girls than boys. This is fine with us since so many other games are typically made with males in mind and we girls love computer games as well.

Way too Short, Way too Easy
This game was way too short and way too easy, I wish they would stop trying to mass produce instead of Quality produce.

Great game
We have done all the Nancy Drew games. This one was a little easier than the rest. Not as many hard puzzles to complete to move on in the game. I really missed that. It took about 3 days to complete it. The graphics were great. Not a suspenceful ending though. I would have liked a little more challenge but overall it was fun to play.

Not The Best Nancy Drew In My Opinion, But...
I own all the Nancy Drew games, and have played most of them at least twice. I am a grandmother, so I am way older than 10, but as they say, 10 - ADULT. I just love adventure games, which is why I bought my first Nancy Drew game.
I think anyone who has played them all is going to have a favorite, and a not-favorite, and everything else is in between. For me, this is an in between.
This game has great graphics and an interesting storyline. It is too short. The first one I considered too short was #8, The Haunted Carousel. Very fun game, it was just too short.
Most of the Nancy Drew games have busy work in them (in fact, most adventure games do). I didn't mind the fishing or the necklace making. It's a diversion that gives me a chance to think about the actual quest of the game and how to achieve it. If you're good at it, you don't end up doing a lot of it anyway.
There has been busy work in some of the games that I wasn't good at, and that can be frustrating!! Sewing and playing miniature golf in "Secret of the Old Clock" were two activities in one game that I had trouble with, but after about three hours trying to sew that dress, I was finally on my way again.
I think "The Creature of Kapu Cave" was fairly easy. I can't think of anything about it that was too hard, including the "frass" stuff. I play all the games in Senior Detective mode, and I remember never having to go online or consulting a walkthrough in this game. (I usually have to look at a walkthrough at least once because I can't figure out how some puzzle is supposed to work, but not for this game.)
I can't remember how long it took me. I only play for three hours a week, and I think on the third Sunday I was done, so it must have been 7 or 8 hours. A really good one will take about 20 hours.
There are 2 levels of play in each Nancy Drew game. In fact, it seems as though the early games had 3 levels. If you think the games are too easy, and not long enough, play on Senior Detective level. In the last several games, at Senior level, there is no checklist and you get no hints. That will make the game last a lot longer, especially if you have never played it before. The only game I would NOT recommend playing on Senior level is "Curse of Blackmoor Manor" (my personal not-favorite). Actually, if you want a long, difficult, challenging Nancy Drew, buy that one!

Not up to the normal quality
I was a little disappointed with "The Creature of Kapu Cave". First, it wasn't very challenging, second, the activities were not much fun, and third, it didn't take very long to finish. I have all of the Nancy Drew games and this was my least favorite. The one thing that was interesting and fun was that we switched from Nancy to one of the Hardy boys.
