Nancy Drew : The Mystery of the Clue Bender Society

Nancy Drew: The Mystery of the Clue Bender Society

Nancy Drew has proven to be a popular adventure game franchise over the years, but that's been mainly on PC. The Mystery of the Clue Bender Society was the second Nancy Drew game made for the Nintendo DS, published by Majesco in September 2008 and created not by Her Interactive but by Gorilla Games. Unfortunately, just like its predecessor, The Deadly Secret of Olde World Park, the sequel is not a very good game, proving instead to be overly short, repetitive and dull, even for its younger target demographic. At first the story sounds promising enough: Nancy gets an invitation from the mysterious Clue Bender Society, a secret club of intelligent people who dedicate their lives to finding and solving mysteries and protecting secrets. Apparently they are looking for new recruits, and Nancy is one of three promising candidates they have invited to their headquarters, located on a remote island filled with puzzles. Whoever is first to solve a series of challenges will be declared the winner and the new Society member. However, as soon as Nancy manages to find the secret storage of the Society's prized Tome, the ancient book turns out to be missing.
