Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger

Although this is a fine game in many ways, a couple of points let it down. Firstly, and most importantly you can easily get stuck by not finding rather obscurely placed objects which are needed later, for instance the wire cutters in the props room. Once you've left the prop room, you've had it and the game can't be solved.

The geography is rather poor too. If you turn around from one spot, you don't always find yourself facing the opposite way, with the result that you can endlessly go round in circles in what is quite a small area. In the TV Studio, your movement is artificially restricted making movement like you are driving a fork lift truck with limited steering - you can often see where you need to go, but getting there is another matter.
