Endless cooking.....

This is one of my least favorite ND games largely in part due to the cooking you are required to do three times a day. You can, however, skip a meal every now and then without getting tossed out of the lodge (and game.) I've not played any cooking games or anything of that sort before, and I surely will not in the future. Thankfully, near the end of the game the handyman takes over, relieving you of that burden.

As noted by many reviewers, the Fox and Geese puzzle game is extremely frustrating. I came very close to removing the CD and putting the game away. At that point, I just didn't care. But, I'd paid good money for WWofIC so kept at it. When I completed the 3 wins there was no elation, just relief.

And, I think this was the worst ending ever. You chase the culprit on a snowmobile- the old skiing game where you avoid rocks and such. The whole climax of the game boils down to that. No using your wits to trap the culprit or escape from being trapped. Just a cramp in your finger. After my crashing a few times, my son walked in and said he'd do it for me. It took him 3 times and the chase went on for over 4 minutes....much too long to watch a little rectangle follow another rectangle around obstacles. Even he couldn't believe that was the ending.

The characters are fairly interesting, but there's really not much interaction. Most are always in the same place and do little except talk to you a few times. The ending left me wondering about them- I'd wished they had given us more information.

On the positive side, the graphics are pretty good and there's plenty of snow, my personal favorite setting for games. The wolf is lovely. For fun, search for White Wolf of Icicle Creek easter eggs on the Internet and follow the directions. For me, it was one of the few laughs in the game.

Overall, I would recommend checking out other ND games before buying this one.

Once again, HERinteractive has made a great game!

For awhile it seemed like HER was failing at making the games like they used to. . .until they made this one! This was great game with a plot much like the classics.

Story-A white wolf has started showing up at a lodge in Canada, and the owner has called you over to Canada to help solve the mystery. It seems that the wolf shows up right before something bad happens. Multiple things have happened such as slashed tires, food poisoning, and more. You need to find out who is causing these accidents, while finding out what the deal is with the wolf.

Graphics-They were very good, but HERinteractive added something horrid. They threw in some bright green lines that show you what you can look at. I guess it was meant to help those who have trouble seeing the crumpled up note in the corner or the newspaper on the table, but it really was very annoying.

Sound-The music was creepy with a winter twist on it. It was really pretty good. The voice acting was very good, too.

Gameplay-Your cover is the maid and cook, so you have to clean rooms (which means collect dirty towels and fix beds) and cook (think of putting something on the grill, waiting 30 seconds then taking it off before it burns) every day. It can get tedious, but near the end of the game you stop having to do all of this. The puzzles are challenging again, but not too difficult. Some people complained about the fox and the geese game. I think that it's really fun, and the fact that's it's hard just adds to the fun. You don't have a cell phone in the game so you call using a dialing phone which also brings back the nostalgia of previous games (although sometimes I wanted my cell phone back!) You have an alarm clock which is good because you cannot go outside at night, and you need to go outside a lot.

Fun-This is a really fun game, but I found having to cook and clean every day got really old. Otherwise, everything else was fun.

Length-It took me about 5 days to finish the game the first time through, and playing it straight through takes 10-11 hours. It's a shame that HER couldn't have made a game that takes longer the first time through like the old games, but it was longer than the past games.

Overall this is back to the basics, and the basics are what everyone loves, I think. HER was really going the right way when they made this game!

Fun and exciting, especially for kids

We just finished this game (me and my kids) and we loved it. Yes, the cooking and cleaning got tedious because it had to be done everyday, but we got so good at it that it took no time at all. I liked it much better than Mystery in the Tower (I think I'm getting the title wrong) because it seemed like a lot of the time was spent in that game just walking all over the place - boring! We did have to use hints from the website and the guide book, but overall it was not really hard to do. I also like that it wasn't as scary and eerie as others, but it was still suspenceful, and somewhat scary. PS - some reviewers don't like the game because of the Fox and the Geese game. There is no cheat on this - you just have to play the game and win, but I did read a hint on the website that helped me - it said to put all your geese to the opposite side of where you want to trap the fox and move slowly in to trap him. Remember that it is like checkers - the fox can only get the geese if there is one geese alone for the fox to "jump" over and get. Hope this helps.

I like it but it is kinda hard

I like the Nancy drew games a lot and i want to collect them all!The White wolf of icicle creek lodge is fun.I am almost done with the game but I got stuck.That fox and geese game is hard even for junior.I can`t do it.You are suppose to play four times to win.I don`t know why you have to play four times?If you like mysterious or hard challenging games then this is a game for you.You might get stuck but it is pretty easy for junior.The wii version sounds fun and looks fun but i will stick with the pc version for now.I like the other Nancy drew games but this one is challenging for me.BlahBlahBlub:)

My daughter likes it but it drove me crazy

This is the only ND we haven't completed. We didn't mind the cooking and the cleaning. It was the aimless mystery and the interminable Fox and Geese game that just killed this for me.

Mournful howls and thunderous explosions roll across the frozen Canadian mountains surrounding the Icicle Creek Lodge. Former guests say that the resort is jinxed, but the staff blames a mysterious wolf. Is the wild animal connected to a lurking saboteur, or is the wolf warning the residents of bigger danger? It's up to you, as Nancy Drew, to uncover the secrets before someone leaves you out in the cold! Follow a trail to hidden secrets and sabotage!
