IGN:Nancy Drew and the Deadly Device is a solid entry into the Nancy Drew series of games. If you, like me, have played multiple games in the series, this one is definitely worth checking out. If you are new to the series, this may not be the best to start with, as the start of the game is so immediate with little introduction. The game speaks to both young and old alike, so much so that kids might find themselves nudged out of the way by parents wanting to have a go at it.
AG: Clever visual details help flesh out limited environments; improved hint system; fun and well thought-out puzzles tie together an interesting, multi-layered story.
