I really enjoyed this game - it was fun, smart, very DS-ish :). The puzzles were little bit on the easier side, but I believe the game was created for kids, not me ;). But not to say that puzzles were easy! Lots of unique puzzles, some repetative ones but with different difficulty levels (map puzzle). Really funny characters - make sure to read the dialogs! Beautiful music... If they make another one - I'll buy it. Also it was a great gift for my nephew and niece.

This review is from: The Hardy Boys Treasure on the Tracks (Video Game)

After having played one of the Nancy Drew games for DS and being very disappointed I did not have high hopes for this game.

I was pleasantly surprised! This game isn't too easy and it's not to hard. It has a great hint function that comes in handy sometimes. The game and puzzles are actually logical, unlike some adventure games. It has a great story, great graphics, fun puzzles, and is very enjoyable.

I am not done with the game but I love it. I hope there will be more in this series!

If you like these types of games, I highly recommend this game. I'm an adult gamer who enjoys the Nancy Drew PC series and other various adventure games. I am new to the whole DS thing, but I'm glad there are some wonderful adventure games like this out there for it.

This was a fun & fast moving game & does a good job at using the touch screen option.
Even though there is mixing fact with fiction, a player still gets to learn a little bit of history without feeling like they are being given a history lesson.
