Not really a vampire fan. Having said that, I was bored and decided to give this a try. So glad I did. Love everything about this game. I haven't even finished the main game and am compelled to rave about it.
Great storyline and charcters
Interesting puzzles and HOs
Spot on voices and graphics
Long gameplay - just when you think you're done the story moves on.
Engaging extras
OK - back to the game.

I almost didn't look at this game but am so glad I did. The atmosphere, the puzzles, the HOs are all just right. Love having a map with actions available. Wish it had been a bit longer and really want to more about James' past....

I really like this series. I have the original on my iPad and love the different playing levels and options. I was really excited to see a sequel and bought it immediately.
Good:
Like that you can now "reclaim" anything you demolish
Like some of the new buidlings
Like all the building upgrades
Like some of the new quests

Miss the different goal options from the first game - eco vs money trail. Made for a lot more playing variety.

Good storyline with interesting plot
Variety of puzzles
New twists on the HOS
Great jazz music throughout
Nice visuals and voicings
Useful in-game map

I bought the first game and loved it. One thing I love is that there is an untimed mode. I was happy to see that in this sequel, but frustrated when 2 of the levels, including the last one are actually timed, even when playing in untimed mode. I like to play in relaxed mode first and then challenge myself on each subsequent level. If you really enjoy time challenges and/or you have a good gaming mouse, this is a great game. Right now I can't even finish the first level - disappointing.
I recommend this game!

I've enjoyed every single Nancy Drew game since they first came out. Recently, I've been a little frustrated with the lack of freshness in the games. This one looked to be in the right direction with the addition of a hint function. However, the hints are a little too obvious - usually things I've already figured out - and I would really like a map in the game. Not sure if I'll buy more.
I don't recommend this game.

I was so happy to see another of these games out. Interesting take on the Jack & the Beanstalk tale mixed with other stories. I am in love with the graphics in the HOs. The tie-in to some of the previous games was fun,too.
I recommend this game!

Loved this game. The HOs were fun, the puzzles were a good mix and it was nice and long. Only complaint - why does the little girl's voice sound so whiny?
I recommend this game!

This looks pretty good. I like the story line, the HOs and the puzzles. One thing I don't understand is why some characters such as the doctor and nurse look like real people, but the teacher and the little girl look like caricatures. It just seems weird to me. Not sure if this will prevent me from buying, but it is annoying.
I recommend this game!
