It was especially different since Nancy didn't have her cellphone with her and had to use regular phones in Paris with a calling card. So far I have only tried two Nancy Drew games and Danger By Design was the best one that I played. It was really enjoyable. I highly recommend this game to any Nancy Drew fan or for those just starting out with Nancy Drew games.
My children think that this is the best one of the Nancy Drew games yet.
It is a good game, overall. One of my main 'beefs' with it was the ending--or lack thereof. I gave this game 4 stars simply for the fact that it is in my favorite location: Paris, France. The setting is great, and the characters are interesting.
It seemed rather juvenile and a little on the stupid side. I am sorry to be harsh, but that's the truth of it. The puzzles I found fascinating and fun, not too hard but not too simple. The music is rather monotanous, but not bad.
If you are a die hard ND fan than I would definitely recommend buying this game. :) ~Laura
Hey, I'm 43 and I love ND games. LOLStill took me 2 days to get through. That requires sticky notes on your monitor. This was a good one but not one of the best. Still, it was entertaining and the puzzles were pretty easy except for the total dark room. I have every ND game, and out of all of them, I'd rate this on a scale from 1-10, about a 7-1/2.
Overall I give this game a 3 because it still had some good aspects and I love the ND series. I am a HUGE fan of the Nancy Drew game series and have played about 6 or 7 of them already. I finished the entire game in one afternoon and the ending was lame, no excitement at all. This might me a better game for a much younger group because the tasks are easy and there are no real scary parts as there are in many of the ND games. Danger by Design was one of my least favorites. The plot was choppy and there were two angles to the story that had absolutely nothing to do with one another. Although the scenery is nice and it shows alot of Paris, there is little to do at all of the locations and the tasks seem to get repetitive.
And when there was a real puzzle to do it was very difficult to solve and the solutions were not something someone would have logically come up with. There were much much less puzzles and clues to gather as there are in other ND games. After talking to the characters a few times they had little to say and there was not alot of interaction with them. Most of the game time is spent doing silly tasks like baking cookies and fixing a copy machine. This one goes in with the category of Kapu Cave, not horrible, but not the best.
