Having played all the Nancy Drew titles with the exception of Danger by Design, I can honestly say that Shadow Ranch is the best title in the series thus far.
The storyline, based on the book of the same name, is excellent - lots of secret passages and very spooky in parts - the puzzles are interesting, the characters amusing, graphics are brilliant and the ending is absolutely spectacular.
I loved it so much, I played it twice!!
I think they should base more of the games on the original books as they have done here along with Secret of the Old Clock, which was also fantastic. The Hidden Staircase/Secret of Redgate Farm would be brilliant interactive games.

If you have played Nancy Drew games before or not this is one of the best, I thoroughly enjoyed it throughout. One of the great things about these games is the amount of information you gain along the way. You are on a ranch, so learning to ride and picking ripe vegetables, reading petroglyphs and, as usual, solving riddles and puzzles are among some of the things you have to accomplish. There is an opportunity to choose junior detective for the younger ones among us! I recommend you go for the senior detective which cuts out the hints leaving it all up to you. Enjoy!

Fun:
This was the first Nancy Drew game I played and it was fab! There is soooo much to do and loads of people to meet. You can collect kindle for fire, work out ancient writing puzzles, play arcade games, chores, ride a horse and LOADS MORE! It can get a bit difficult at times but if you stick at it you will get it in the end. If you are a first time Nancy Drew player i suggest you start off with an easier game, but I think that Nancy Drew lovers should definitely buy this game! (I must say the ending is great but it may take some time to master the escape route!)
