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.

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.

This game had very VIVID images and the stories taking you through the game were very compelling. The game can be picked up and played for 30 minutes at a time or played for longer periods - the save option was a great asset. The interaction of switching between the characters and the awsome scenery definetely added to the play . Will play this again!

This was a fast moving game that keeps you engaged form the first to last moment. If you are a person that has enjoyed the Nancy Drew PC (or other system games) you will also enjoy this game. The hardy boys are hot on the trail and through a number of clever challenges and puzzles, you put the Hardy Boys to the test. Some of the challenges were a bit easy for an adult, but as I gave it to my seven year old, she found it to be a bit more challenging, but enjoyable none-the-less. I really enjoyed the story as well as the graphics. You really need to read the dialogue that occurs in the game for the full effect, but I also know that some people will tune this out and they will miss some gems along the way. All-in-all this was a great game that is fun for the whole family!

Bought this game for my son... he was excited when we first got it, but the more he played, the more his disliked the game. He finally made it past the bomb, and the game never loaded any further. Overall big diasppointment that he could not complete the game.

I brought this game and hope to love it.....however, I am now stuck on the puzzle with the bomb found on the railroad tracks. I have tried everything but to no avail. If anyone knows how I can get past this point, please let me know......

I bought this game to fill my time until another Professor Layton game comes out. The game is an OK substitute - it has various mini-games to solve, and an entertaining enough story. However, it is not anywhere near as good as the Professor Layton series. The puzzles are not nearly as challenging, but in some cases that is a good thing. It is a good game to relax with or take your mind off your other problems, as it will entertain you but not be overly taxing mentally. If you are looking for something to test your brain every day, or to give you a big challenge, this is not the game for you. However, if you just want something fun to do on the train or while you are waiting for the doctor, this is the game for you!

at the moment my son is playing the game, he says that there a few hard parts, but over all its really easy.

This was one of the first games I played for Nintendo DS. The game starts out quite slow and never really picks up. The main problem isn't the story line. The game is simply very boring and repetitive.
