 excellent game January 8, 2009
My kids are really enjoying the game. Graphics are top notch but they are good. The game play took a few minutes to get accustomed to. It's a game I'd recommend. Not sure about re playability but still lots of fun :D
 Just okay January 7, 2009
I bought this game for my 11-year old daughter, but she has only played it one time and said it was just okay and not very interesting.
Makes you think; something for all ages December 30, 2008

I got this game for my mom, and it is one of the only Wii games she actually likes. First of all, it's based on books she read as a kid. Second, it's not violence/action based. You explore a lodge in snowy remote Canada, and uncover secrets about all the lodge guests. There are many puzzles you have to solve that vary in difficulty from easy to hard, and it's a great game for our whole family to play and try to solve together. There are a few action-oriented mini-games (cooking, jumping across icebergs, etc) that the kids love, so there's a bit of something for everyone. Highly recommended - it kept everyone engrossed for many hours.
Fun Family Game! Recommended! December 14, 2008

"The White Wolf of Icicle Creek" is a very solid addition to the Nancy Drew game franchise. We are fans of the Nancy Drew games and up to now have played all of the other games on PC. The limited replayabilty of the game likely made it a poor choice for the Wii, but since we play the games with the whole family it was easier for us to to do it our living room rather than our cramped den where the PC is.br /br /The game pretty much follows the format of the most recent Nancy Drew games. This time Nancy has to solve a fairly challenging mystery in a lodge filled with an interesting array of guests/suspects. br /br /What we liked:br /br /* Great plot and story linebr /* Longer game play than recent Nancy Drew gamesbr /* Fantastic graphics, the best so farbr /* Really good puzzles and challengesbr /br /What we didn't like:br /br /* Repetitive tasks, Nancy's cover is as a maid (and cook) so you have to clean rooms EVERY daybr /* Limited exploration timebr /br /This Nancy Drew game is a step up from recent installments and was a lot of fun for us!br /br /Recommended!
