Nancy Drew Dossier - Lights, Camera, Curses Review

Lights, Camera, Curses! will challenge your intellect, speed and detective skills as you embark to uncover the mysterious undertakings occurring on a set of the latest Hollywood blockbuster! Help Nancy to solve spooky crimes caused by someone, or some thing, tampering with the set, including an electrically charged fountain and demolished scaffolding.

Compelling Story and Dialogue

The story line itself will hold your attention as you slowly learn new information about this big screen dilemma, help to restore the set, and get the film-making back on track.

One of the most unique features of this release that stands out amongst other adventure games is that completing dialogue options in the proper order will increase your overall score. Adding this wonderful element of an RPG will challenge your intellect and memory as previous scenes are incorporated into conversation.

Interesting Mini-Games and Puzzles

Mini-games are fun and include a wealth of tasks including code-breaking, puzzles, composing and playing music and much more!  Another positive feature is the length that will provide many hours of exciting mystery solving to all players.

Although it does not detract much from the overall appeal, the only downside is that it can sometimes be difficult to discern which action must be taken on an object, such as looking at, picking up, or using with an acquired inventory item.

Conclusion - Excellent Adventure Game

This small hiccup aside, Lights, Camera, Curses! earns the distinction of being among the most well produced adventure games as it offers an exciting story line with wonderfully unique elements such as fully-integrated dialogue options, great mini-games with even greater bonus-games and an impressive length that will keep any player captivated for many hours.
