Ransom of the Seven Ships: A Review

Hey guys! So, I have read the next 4 chapters in eight cousins, and I am planning on reviewing them soon. But right now, I am going to do a quick one post review on a Nancy Drew computer game by HeR Interactive.




Ransom of the Seven Ships Game #20

I didn't write this review for this blog. I actually wrote it for the HeR Interactive Message Board. But, I thought I'd post it on here. So I hope you enjoy it. :)


Plot: The plot of the game was kinda, well, borring. I mean, Bess gets kidnapped. There has been another ND game where someone is kidnapped, and I think that this game's plot was a lot like that one. But I did think that bringing Bess and George in the game was pretty Awesome. The part that I hated about the game is that you don't get to call anyone. NO PHONE! That stinks! So, I'd give the plot 3/5 stars

Characters: There was not very many people you could talk to in this game.

There was George of course, and she wasn't really what I though of George to be. She was very depressed. And I guess I would be too if my cousin/bff got kidnapped, but, she didn't really do much. She just sat at the front desk working on a phone all day. Althow, I did think it was pretty cool that you got to be her for part of the game. I'd give her 4/5

Jonny Rolf was kinda strange. He pretty much, hated Nancy from the beginning. Whenever Nancy would talk to him, and she would say, "I better get going," Jonny would say something like, "This is good.'' Or, "Do not come again." I think he had a problem with Nancy. Or, he was just a grumpy old fisher man who didn't like company. :) I'd give him 3/5 stars

Coucou on the other had was awesome! She is the granddaughter of Loulou from CUR, which was pretty cool, and you never knew what she was going to say. "Justin, meet Samantha." Or, "Stop hitting your sister!." But I think my favorite things that she said were, "Nancy Drew belongs in a zoo." And "George is Smelly! George is Smelly!" She had such a great personallity, and I loved her! 5/5

There were also some monkeys in the game. I liked them, becasue they were so cute, and you got to play games with them. The part I didn't like about the monkeys, is that depending on what you need, you might have to play 10 games with them to go farther on in the game. 3/5

All around Characters, forgetting the fact that half the characters were animals, I would give them 4/5

Setting: The setting was so cool! I loved that you could go all around the island, and sometimes you would see birds flying around, and the wavers moving. It was so awesome! 5/5

Music: I enjoied the music, but it all seamed very happy. I'm more into the scary games. This was NOT a scary game. I liked the music when you were sailing the best. 4/5

Ending: The ending was very diffrent from all the other games that I have finished. I was not expecting it at all. But I thought that it was very cool! 5/5

All around game: 4/5

So, there you go. My first game review. I hope you all enjoied it, and if you had any questions about this game, this review answered it for you.
