Brilliant
This 17th title in the Series takes our famous sleuth in company of Bess to New-Orleans on a long weekend that was planned as a relaxing one, going shopping, sight-seeing, night-clubs and enjoying the local cuisine. Relaxing ? Hmmm, not for long.
Having decided upon arrival to visit a friend's uncle, recently deceased, she is assaulted by a weird character who throws a smoke grenade at her. Some people have no manners....!
And thus ends this relaxing weekend before it started. Nancy decides to investigate. Once a sleuth, always a sleuth, especially when directly concerned.
Like in all her other investigations, this Legend is pure adventure. NO HOG. Notes and clues are stored in her diary as well as hints for puzzle solving.
And this is what I enjoy most, true adventure, in which linearity is kept down to a minimum
I like the interaction with the other characters in the story, the questions/answers that provide you with info and valuable clues. For this reason they should not be skipped.
In this Legend, you will actually sometimes play as Nancy or Bess, her best friend, whom Nancy asks to go downtown run various errands for her, all of which related to the investigation.
The action is not limited to exploring the mansion, but extends to its surroundings.
All locales are professionaly rendered; the details in the various rooms of the house, the gardens, the mausoleums....
Professional too, are the music, sound effects, voice-overs, dialogues, the attitude and reactions of the characters, thus endowing this investigation with a high degree of realism.
But don't think for one second Nancy has an easy task. Not only does she have to put clues gathered here and there together to be able to come up with something coherent and solve the mystery, but she has also to tackle puzzles which, for some, range from non-obvious to tricky. In addition, several minigames spice up the whole adventure.
The storyline, as always with Nancy, is pretty solid and most engaging. I caught myself totally absorbed in the plot to the extent that I forgot to have a decent meal and resorted to quickly made sandwiches.
I like the way she makes you think out of the box, always challenging your wits, always stimulating your own skills as a wannabe investigator. Especially on the hardest of the two levels: Senior Detective.
With a creepy atmopshere, and plenty of things to do and find, never being led by the hand but free to explore at will in any order, free also to talk to characters even if it is not the right moment and they have nothing to add to what hey told you before, this Legend is one of the best production from the developers, totally immersive and brilliantly compelling.
Highly recommended.

Awesome!!
I liked this game because it never really got old, I always had something to do because the plot was pretty much never ending! I liked how some of the puzzles were challenging but others weren't, giving me a nice ease when I wanted one, or a challenge when I wanted one! A few parts of the game confused me a little, but it was really fun overall and I loved the game!
