Pop The Final Scene into your CD-ROM drive, fire it up, and you're greeted with the most gripping opening sequence yet in a Nancy Drew game. As the ageless, mystery-cracking heroine yourself, you accompany your friend Maya to an historical--yet dilapidated--theater to interview teen heartthrob Brady Armstrong for the opening of his new movie. As Maya disappears into the dressing room for the interview, you hear a scream, but when you charge in to investigate Maya is nowhere to be found. The question is, do you have what it takes to track down Maya's kidnapper before the theater is demolished?
The most notable improvement in the game comes in the form of the distinctive characters. With each game, the script and character work get better and better. The dialog has a nice youthfulness and sense of humor missing from the previous games. We also loved the choice of the old theater for a setting and the magic theme running throughout, but wished there were more nooks and crannies to explore. Additionally, we had some installations troubles, but Her Interactive assures us that those problems have been resolved, so all current versions should be fine.
A minor nitpick is that the timeframe seemed somewhat limiting. Previous Nancy Drew games had an open feel, there was no sense of urgency, and you solved the mystery in your own time. In The Final Scene, the gameplay is divided into three days, and you must accomplish specific tasks before you can move on to the next day. Though this structure lent itself well to the game's plot, it was also easy to get stuck on one clue. However, you can always consult the message boards at Her Interactive's Web site for help, clues, hints, and general support from an enthusiastic community of Nancy Drew lovers.
Little grumblings aside, The Final Scene really is a fabulous game that goes above and beyond most games out there right now, and is highly recommended for kids and adults alike. (Ages 10 and older) --Ara Jane Olufson
Product Description
A night at the movies turns into a nightmare for you, as Nancy Drew, when the final premiere at the Royal Palladium becomes a disappearing act for a friend. The historic theater will be demolished in just three days, and Nancy's sure her friend Maya is being held captive inside as ransom for the building. Is it a publicity stunt or a misguided scheme? Nancy must race against the clock to find Maya and expose a kidnapper who grows more desperate with each day's delay.

My daughters have played this twice since Christmas and love it. They especially like the insider's look at how some magic tricks are done. It was very creative.

I Like Theater, so i definitely liked this game!,

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Final Scene (CD-ROM)
I got this as a Christmas gift, and at first I thought it sounded good, but I didn't know if I would finish it. I finished it, and I played it again! I liked the way the music sounded, very jazzy, old-fashioned and carnivalish at times. The 3D graphics were good, the theater looked realistic, the characters were flavorful. It's rated E for everyone, but it says "ages ten and up" on the thing. And rightfully so. I'm almost thirteen and I thought some of the parts were spooky or tense and my heart was beating fast. Still, I liked this game.

Very Fun and Spooky!,

This review is from: Nancy Drew: The Final Scene (CD-ROM)
This was the second Nancy Drew game I played with my 15 year-old sister and I thought it was very fun! Nancy's friend gets kidnapped in an old theater called The Royal Palladium, which is scheduled to be knocked down in 3 days! At first, you meet star Brady Armstrong, and explore the theater. As you go along, you meet Joseph, the theater's sound man, Simone, Brady's manager, and Nick, the person who wants the R.P. to be a historical site. Also along the way, you uncover some buried secrets, hidden rooms, and more. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone under 10 because it does get scary in some parts, unless they are playing with an older person. This game wasn't very very hard, but it does discourage you sometimes. Well, enjoy! This is an awesome game!
