Nancy Drew: Secret Of The Scarlet Hand (Jewel Case) - PC

I liked the game overall, it was different from what I am used to playing (which is good b/c that is why I bought it).What I liked about it: Very challenging, fun tid-bits to learn,"hot spot" indicator, graphics, good hints when needed, playing detective!What I didn't like about it: Some of the puzzles were difficult,the narration task was very lengthy and kina tedious, especially the number tile puzzle. The descriptions of the glyphs were not very helpful. I finally went to a cheat sheet for help. Not being able to dial directly from the desk phone to call for help was discouraging. Many little facts to learn was a fun but if I didn't write things down then it slowed the game down because you had to go back and research them (HERinteractive was a huge help).(...) was great, esp message boards. Spoilers and hints were very helpful because sometimes a nudge in the right direction is what is needed. The only complaint I have is that you can't use "free" email accounts to register which is frustrating. Why not?! Oh well, life goes on.

This game is one of my favorites! The disc arrived quickly and works perfectly.

I have all of these Nancy Drew games and they are fantastic, lots of Challenges, loads of fun, would highly recommend all these games to family and friends and anyone who loves mystery games Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand

Secret of the Scarlet Hand is a good Nancy Drew game but is more geared toward an older, more mature player than a younger player with less patience. It requires more "studying" and learning the Mayan historical facts which I really enjoyed but my 10-year old daughter got sick of very quickly. Much of what is required in getting to the next level of play is knowledge-based versus "easter egg hunting" or game-playing, which is what is fun for a younger audience. So I personally really liked the information download but my daughter never finished the game.

My brother and I love Nancy Drew. Our package was on time and a day early. We both are very happy.

Great game!!!

I've played nearly every Nancy Drew Game. This one was hard, and wasn't that interesting. The "research" you need to do is boring, and tedious. I never even finished the game, as it was so boring.

good
