The White Wolf of Icicle Creek
Date of Review: Jan 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: It's Nancy Drew! You gotta love those Nancy Drew mysteries.
Let me start off by saying, I don't care what other
reviews say...... This game is great! Of course it takes a
while to play, and it should, that is the point of playing
a mystery game. Yes, you have a bunch of chores to do in
the game.
But think of it this way....... these chores are a
whole lot easier to do with a click of the mouse, rather
than actual chores that we have in our homes.
And if you are a fan of mystery,
especially Nancy Drew games, then you will want to buy
this one.

The graphics are clean and crisp. The sound and music is
wonderful, especially if you have a real good speaker
system (Creative), like I do. Then the sound is almost
like a a surround sound system. The graphics are clear.
And the sound and music is clear and smooth as can be.
I love all the things that I have to do to get hints
and clues in order to continue in this game. And when I
finally got to the end of the game, I was totally surprised
to find out that the culprit was not exactly what or who I
thought it was. It was awesome! And I think that if you
give it a try, then you will see what I mean.

You have your normal choices (as always),
Junior or Senior level(s). And can control volume of
the music and/or the background sound effects in the
options tab.

Gameplay, well, this one is no different than the others
really. Move your magnify glass over things until it turns
red, when it turns red click to pick up an item to either
look at it or to add it to your inventory.
Find a Trail to Hidden Secrets and Sabotage:
Now, you as Nancy Drew must find out what or who is behind
all the explosions at the Icicle Creek Lodge. Mournful
howls and thunderous explosions roll across the frozen
Canadian mountains surrounding the lodge.
Former guests of the Icicle Creek Lodge says that, it's
the white wolf that has the place jinxed. But could it
really be the wolf?
Or is it really someone that is causing all the commotion?
Question staff and guests as you find more clues to solving this mystery.
And have Nancy call friends for
hints. Play puzzles that will help you on your
journey to finding those hidden secrets.
Cook some nice and tasty meals for picky guests.
It's up to you, to find forgotten secrets before something
or someone leaves you out in the cold. Go undercover as
Nancy Drew, to track down what or who may be the culprit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have fun playing this mystery game for only 20 dollars.
I recommend this product to everyone. This game may also
be a great collector item as well for those true
Nancy Drew fans.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
P.S.
I only paid $20.00 for mine, and trust me, that is not
a bad price for any computer game, especially a
Nancy Drew mystery game.
Can't wait till epinions.com adds
Nancy Drew: The Legend of the Crystal Skull, so I can
write a review on it also.
