[Secret] ...I praise Her Interactive for being one of the very, very few companies to publish two games per year. I think that's amazing, and we should all appreciate that very much. But I noticed that this game, like other summer Nancy Drew releases, was somewhat on the short side. I can excuse this because, as we know, there is a Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys game in the works for the fall and I'm sure that project probably requires much more attention, but I thought a lot about this and decided that perhaps it makes more sense for the longer game to be released in the summer. After all, the majority of the people who play these games are home from school during the summer, often looking for something to do...it's not the "bees knees"s, and it's not "all wet", but it's "keen;" good enough to keep you busy for a short period of time, and I'm sure some gamers will find something positive to say about some of the things I found negative. - Ryan Casey
