The son of gurus and a former rugby star, Patrick gives the impression of being hit in the head one too many times. In fact, he's actually sabotaging the efforts of the show's crew to travel to New Zealand. The current producer of Pacific Run, Sonny is not sticking to plan. Play mini games and learn about New Zealand plants, geography and native Maori words.The producer areas are very off limits, but solving puzzles will get you inside the mines and even an undersea submersible.Collect medallion pieces by beating other reality tv teams in a series of contests.Are the mishaps the result of cheating competitors or something beyond this world? Win big to uncover the truth! Now you, George, and Bess must investigate the incident that caused George's injury as well as why Sonny took charge of the show and what he really plans to do with it. While competing in a challenge, George is seriously injured and your other friend Bess Marvin must step in to take her place. The eccentric Sonny Joon has hijacked production of the show, which is spiraling out of control as certain contestants are being favored and dangerous missions are being assigned. You, as Nancy Drew and George end up winning a spot on a survival reality show in New Zealand called Pacific Run, in which players complete physical tasks to get five pieces of a medallion, and decide to bring Bess along. No one is immune to sudden death on this reality tv show! 4.3 Main/recurring character revelations.Those are the nicest things I can find to say about it. One star for the appealing scenery, and one star because the game worked fine. If you’re like me and you're excited to see a new Nancy Drew game, I hate to burst your bubble… but I really wouldn’t bother with this one. Here’s hoping that this isn’t indicative of the way the franchise is heading. I was disappointed enough that I almost didn’t bother to finish and that speaks pretty poorly of a $20 game. The lack of coherent narrative made the game hard to navigate, leaving me never entirely sure what I was supposed to be doing next, and while trial and error got me through it wasn’t really worth the effort. Also missing is the creepiness that makes some of the other games so enjoyable (line Shadow at the Water’s Edge or Thornton Hall). The thin plot elements don’t fit together to make a coherent story in fact, there is almost no mystery. Sadly, this is the worst Nancy Drew game I’ve played (and I’ve played all the ones available for Windows).
