Oh my! Does this game ever get fun or is it just annoying all of the way through? I've been playing it for 5 minutes and I'm about ready to send it to the Goodwill Store. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but not much of one. OK I'm guilty of expecting Nancy Drew quality of gaming here, so I probably should just get over that and give it another go. I'm just surprised that the characters are so jerky and awkward, and it's hard to get them to do anything. I have a new computer that is just awesome so I know it's not a computer issue. I know that I'm being picky as I just finished up Sherlock Holmes VS Jack the Ripper and the transition between these games is Arrrgghh!

Advice please! What did you think of this game? I read the GB Review already - but maybe after a few more opinions I can figure out if it's worth trying to get used to the way this game plays and finishing it. Thanks for your help.

I grew up reading the Hardy Boys novels, so I had play this game. Overall a nicely designed product. A few times moving Frank and Joe around (when together) was trying, but no other complaints. The load times between scenes weren’t long. I thought the plot and voice acting were very well-done. The comic book cut scenes were a nice touch.

Just my thoughts.

Happy Gaming,
Adam

I didn't like the change in time period, Hardy Boys with computers, yuck, but that's just me.

I also liked the comic book touch but as far as being "fun"...

Nope not really. There some cool moments but I would give it a big *yawn*

The earlier ND games as well as the ND Phantom of Venice game was lots more fun!
