Not the best Nancy Drew game
I was so looking forward to this game but it was disappointing. The driving and sailing mini games (if they can even be called that) were dull and took up too much time. A lot of the puzzles were ridiculous and I frequently had to consult a walkthrough to complete them, which took out a lot of the enjoyment for me and the satisfaction of having completed a puzzle by myself. It was okay, but far inferior to other Nancy Drew games.
I also missed having other characters to talk to- George is your main source of communication, and thats pretty much it.
Graphics are excellent, voice acting also, but that's all it has going for it.

Not the Best Nancy Drew Game...
I've played a lot of Nancy Drew games, and usually really like them, so I was expecting a great story, fun gameplay, and challening puzzles. What I got instead was a game that had a weak story line, not enough characters to interact with, and the puzzles were pointlessly confusing. You spend hours solving puzzles that don't really advance the game.
All around thumbs down!

Amazing mystery game!
If you are bored of all the lame mystery games then try this one! Nancy Drew games are fun,challenging,and full of surprises! In this game you talk to other suspects, call friends for help, discover hidden passages, solve puzzles, and of coarse solve the mystery! If you really enjoy this game you should try all 25 of them. Now granite, sometime I get really frustrated on these puzzles, but of coarse there are always cheat codes! Hope you'll love this game too.

Sadly, doesn't quite measure up.
This is probably my very least favorite ND game. Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles, and they're not at all interesting! conversing and playing with monkeys instead of snooping, crawling on rocks like a spider like in 90s video game, bird eye view on driving, finding treasure, sailing.. this game is terrible in almost all aspect. George spends all of her time trying to fix the telephone (and not at all helpful), there is basically no suspect in the game, two if you include the excessively annoying parrot. HER Interactive tries to bring old characters from their past games but they turn out to be boring and very annoying. I play this game only once and I don't think of ever replaying this game.

This game is a waste of time and money
Ransom of the Seven Ships has no real story line and the characters are poorly developed and don't add to the story.
Most of the games are ridiculously difficult - especially the one where you have to beat a monkey by throwing coconuts at targets.. the monkey is lightening fast and acts before the target even comes up - this is virtually impossible to win. If you don't win this game, you cannot move forward in the game. Overall this was a dull frustrating waste of time. Save your money.. don't buy this game.

Fun mystery to solve, very challenging
Especially compared to other Nancy Drew games, this one was challenging. A funny ending too for long-time ND game players.

Keeps true to the Nancy Drew line
I love these Nancy Drew games because they are always challenging but never repetitive. I have been playing from the beginning but decided to get a more recent one to change it up. It did not disappoint!

Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships
Personally, being a fan of Nancy Drew and Her Interactive, I thought this game was great. The puzzles were difficult to a certain level and the story line was excellent. The ending is a little inscrutable, but overall a good game.
