At the very least, it will inspire you to read more Nancy Drew books from the original series as well as to snap up additional games in the interactive series as they are released in the future. This game might even get you interested in visiting Japan for real some day (I know I'd like to experience the Japanese way of life).Not to worry, though, I still solved the mystery without it and you can too if it happens to you. In the whole game there was only one thing none of us kids could find: the key to the game's movie theater.

You even get to learn how to write Japanese characters with actual strokes on your computer screen and make origami projects with a few clicks and movements of your computer mouse and keyboard. It's also a fun experience taking an imaginary walk through a beautiful traditional Japanese garden and building your Japanese vocabulary by venturing to places such as the bento booth and train station. There's lots to learn about the Japanese culture through participating in the tea ceremony, too.Makes me and my brother and sisters all want to have our own real cell phones or hand-helds, but that's a whole other story. Too bad it doesn't allow faux Internet access on the phone, too. There is a virtual cell phone that you actually use to make and receive calls during the game. To make this easier, there's a walk-through mode where she gives you clues when it's too hard for you to figure them out yourself. This is one adventure computer game you probably won't get easily frustrated with because Nancy Drew is always there to help you like a tutor if you are struggling with an activity.Ultimately, if you advance through each level of the game to the end, you'll solve the mystery. It's the same storyline as Junior, but with more challenging puzzles that include Sudoku, riddles, seek and find challenges, and various other games so it will take longer to play. The Senior Detective level is even more fun.Like any interactive game experience, it will get easier as you play and get used to how it works. It's a good idea to start with the Junior Detective level of the game if this is the first game in the series that you've played.
