Nancy Drew Game Review

Here is my review for the 15th Nancy Drew computer game entitled "The Creature of Kapu Cave." In this installment you play as both Nancy and the Hardy boys as you attempt to discover the reason behind strange happenings on the peaceful island of Hawaii. Nancy spends half her time helping an insect researcher with her frass charts (that got extremely tedious) and trying to find out more about the strange Hilihili Research Center. The Hardy Boys stay on the mainland and try to discover more about the tourist guide "Big Island Mike" and his daughter Puma, as they believe they are involved in something illegal.

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. It was really fun getting to play as both Nancy and the Hardy Boys, and the puzzles were still challenging, but not overly difficult to make you want to pull your hair out. :) However the game was extremely short, and the ending was quite a let down. At the end you might be left with the impression, "This is it? There's no more?" So overall I liked the game, but it was too short, some of the puzzles were a tad bit too easy, and the plot got a little bit tedious at times. :) So I give this game 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
