"The game has a fun western setting on an old ranch in Arizona. It's got the usual colorful (albeit small) group of characters. Speaking of colorful, the artwork employs a lovely pastel palette that's very pleasing and appropriate for the western setting. It's got good music, including some lively western swing (not enough of that in games!). The voice work is excellent. The art is dependable and effective as always. And the various bits of the story Nancy begins to uncover are actually terrific.

"This time around, however, the puzzles are a little too organic. Or, rather, a little too literal. Mostly based on farm chores, they quickly become . . . well, chores for the player as well."

"And this is a shame, because as I mentioned before, every other dependable element that has made the Nancy Drew series so successful and enjoyable is here in the game. Someone just fell asleep at the wheel in the puzzle design department. I never thought I'd say this, but I can't recommend this particular Nancy Drew game."
