Rating: - Fun, but stodgy at times
I'd never rate the Nancy Drew as the best possible adventure games. They tend to be puzzle heavy - that is, abstract puzzles rather than logical deduction about the real situation. What's always good is the quality of the voice acting, and the way the story progresses. I also felt that Icicle Creek was quite fair in helping you along.
I've seen complaints about having to continuously do the chores - in fact, at least in junior mode this wasn't necessary - occasionally you are prompted to do the meals or do the rooms when you don't bother, but then there's a plot development that makes it necessary at that time.

I know that this game starts different from any of the other nancy drew games, but I thought this was fun, making breakfast, lunch and dinner, while still investigating at white wolf creek. I would say however that the puzzles were very hard at times, especially the puzzle of the fox and geese, it took me a long time to do this one, as you have to do this 4 times. All in all I found this game brilliant. Cannot wait until the next game comes out, hope it's not too long to wait.
Rating: - Okay but not brilliant
I was really looking forward to the release of this game, but was a bit disappointed. The start up has been changed which was a bit different to what we have been used to over the years - no signature music etc, but there is now a ND Central Control panel whereby you can access all the games from one central point which is really useful.
Another really useful aspect is the ability to be able to save games simply with a screen shot of where you were in the game. This is so much better compared to the previous method of having to exit the game, go into the control panel, save game, choose exit etc. With this new system, you can visually see all the saved games which makes it a million times easier and more convenient.
