    In the end, Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock comes across as one of the lesser games in the ever popular series and that’s simply based on the puzzle content which is incredibly easy.

    Exploring the gameword and solving the mystery are what Nancy Drew is about, and Secret of the Old Clock does that very well as usual. Because it does start Nancy off on her sleuthing adventures, it's a good game to start with for players who haven't accompanied Nancy on an adventure before.

    Clock is pleasant but inconsequential. The puzzles are interesting but among the easiest of the series, and the mini-games are generally fun but poorly integrated into the story.

The game is moderately difficult, though some of the puzzles are too simple and easily solved. Some of the solutions were so obvious that I found myself solving them before I had even gathered any evidence or clues from the game. The music fits the time period, and voice acting is good. Graphics are not groundbreaking but are well-drawn and detailed. The game is not very long and can be finished in 2 or 3 sessions. I would recommend this for 11-16 year olds. My 11 year old watched me play and was able to solve most of the puzzles.… Full Review »
