Editorial Reviews:

Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek is another exciting and dangerous mystery starring Nancy Drew. She's at Icicle Creek Lodge to investigate a recent string of suspicious accidents. An eerie howling wolf keeps everyone up at night and terrorizes the guests. The wolf also appears at the site of accidents and then mysteriously disappears when the police arrive. As Nancy makes her way to the cozy lodge, an explosion rocks the quiet night, destroying a bunkhouse. A wolf howls mournfully in the distance. Nancy has barely set foot on the premises and already trouble is afoot! Can Nancy solve this mystery before all the guests leave and Chantal is left out in the cold?

User Comments about the Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek

Most of the puzzles for this one are just okay, but the cooking 'drill' and housekeeping got repetitive and tedious. I've played a few of the other ND mysteries and enjoyed them. The graphics for White Wolf are nice, and the story is pretty good. It kind of ruined the game for me.

I finally gave up after quite a long time of trying (and a sore wrist)., and never did see the ending. This game was really enjoyable, but I did have to resort to the walkthrough a couple times to help with the puzzle solving. I always enjoy "point and click" type games, and have played a couple Nancy Drew. I finally made it to the end, but couldn't finish it because of the snowmobile chase. All in all though, a pretty good game.

I have played the majority of games in this series. Seriously, it's as if they ran out of puzzles and plot material so they got lazy and substituted that annoying cooking drill over and over. If I want to do chores there are plenty around the house,I don't need a game for that. I love them, they are my guilty indulgence, but this one left me cold. 2 of the challenges were darned near impossible, and in fact by the time I got to the snowmobile race I was fed up and didn't even bother to finish. I haven't given up on Nancy Drew yet but if the Venice episode is like this one I just might.

Definitely worth the play for fans of this genre. There are still some repetitive tasks you must complete to finish the game, but the added elements made it feel not so bad. The makers of this game went about it a little differently on this one, therefore making for a less predictable and more enjoyable game experience. I'm gonna give this one a huge thumbs up. The ending was kinda weird, but kool still.

Overall, the game besides this one irritation is good. Beware of the evil Fox and Geese game in this one. It's fun to play chef, the story line is interesting, and I do get a kick out of Nancy's random mumblings in the bathroom. But if you're aiming to buy this game and finish it in one sitting, pfft, good luck trying. It is a PAIN. They should not have made this so impossible to win, because you cannot move on in the game until you win it. It took me days until I finally got lucky and won. That one mini game will not be defeated so easily.
