Legend of the Crystal Skull contains a number of puzzles which, depending on which of the two difficulty settings you've chosen, range from the fiendishly difficult to the insultingly easy. The game recommends you play it at night with the lights off and the door shut however, we don't recommend letting younger players attempt this, as there are a few shocks throughout the game which are cause for concern. As far as plots for video games go, it's fairly weak, but younger and more casual audiences should enjoy it, and the meat of this game is in how the narrative progresses, rather than the plot itself. The owner of the skull recently passed away, but the skull could not be found amongst his belongings, so it's up to you to find the artefact before it falls into the wrong hands.
As with all point-and-click games, whether mystery or adventure, the worst part is often attempting valiantly to hitch a ride on the developer's unique train of thought - while the game does often provide you with hints as to how to progress, we expect that few people's first thought will be to use charcoal and paper to get etchings of strange glyphs on a wall.Īs far as the plot goes, Nancy must uncover the mystery of, strangely enough, a crystal skull rumoured to protect its owner from almost any cause of death except murder. Players click on a variety of objects and characters to collect certain items, which are then used and combined to progress the plot, either by opening doors and such, or by encouraging other characters to reveal salient plot points. The Nancy Drew games cross the line between point-and-click adventures in the vein of LucasArts' Monkey Island and Agatha Christie's Poirot.
