Nancy Drew: Secret Of The Scarlet Hand (Jewel Case) review:5 stars (Secret of the Scarlet Hand) - Although I am 35 years old, I thoroughly enjoy playing the Nancy Drew Games. Being able to choose between 2 or 3 different levels of difficulty allows you to make the game harder or easier based on your knowledge of how the games work.

This particular game is one of my favorites (so far). Although it was a bit slow-going at first, my interest picked up quickly to the point where I wanted to play all of the time.

"Scarlet Hand" takes place in a museum which is currently getting ready to open a new feature on Mayan culture. Nancy Drew is originally hired to work as an assistant, but her detective skills become much more important after the most expensive piece in the collection is stolen - and all that's left behind is a scarlet hand print.

The graphics are great, and I found the tid-bits re: Mayan culture to be quite interesting! Just make sure to have a pad and pen by your side as you play this game, as there are many codes & bits of info. that you'll need to recall several times -- and at times much later in the game.

I highly recommend this series for anyone who enjoyed reading the Nancy Drew series. 3 stars ( Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Scarlet Hand) - This game was good, but I've played all of the Nancy Drew games so far, and it wasn't my favorite. However, this game was full of interesting facts about the Mayan culture and history, and I did enjoy it. It was also challenging, which I liked, and it was also addictive and hard to stop playing. In my opinion, this game was the most informative. All in all, this game was fun and enjoyable, if not my favorite.
