Nancy Drew Dossier: Lights, Camera, Curses! Review
This game is part of the "Nancy Drew Dossier" series which is very different than the "Nancy Drew Adventure" series. This is a series in which you seek and find objects to put them together in order to complete tasks and solve a mystery.
Story-You have been called to Hollywood to investigate strange accidents that are happening on the filming of a movie called "Pharaoh!" This is a newer version of the film that was produced 75 years before. And on that previous production, the star actress had died because of a fatal accident involving a poisonous snake. Your goal is to find the culprit of the accidents before someone gets hurt. . .or worse.
Graphics-They are nice, but they aren't 3D. They are more like very well drawn cartoons, and I really liked them. The characters are really well-drawn cartoon characters.
Music-Usually the music has an Egyptian feel to it, which I liked. The voice acting was good and interesting to listen to.
Gameplay-You go from place to place finding objects and putting them together. For instance, suppose you have to use your flashlight to examine a scene for clues. So you find batteries for the flashlight only to find that you have to find new bulb. After you do, you find a piece of paper that needs to be translated, so you go to a minigame to translate it. You play a lot of minigames that make the game interesting and fun. There are four characters that you are always running into, and in order to talk to them, you have to select correct responses from a list. For instance, maybe you want to ask a guy why he had a certain picture in his room. The options for questions might be to ask why he had that picture, a goldfish, a tv, a gun, or a diary in his room, and you have to select the right question. They aren't always that easy, though. The back of the box boasts of an optional ending, but it is really just a continuation of the first ending, so in the game, there is only one true culprit.
Fun-This game is a blast. You don't really have to use your brain except for a few puzzles, and they aren't that hard. There are some timed puzzles which I found frustrating, but they weren't that bad.
Length-The reason I took off a star is because of the length. This game lasts about 3 hours, so it isn't that long at all. It really doesn't have much replay value, but I will probably still find myself playing it again someday.
All in all, this is a really fun game worthy of your time. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much of your time. I do recommend it but only for or less. I mean, - for three hours? That's not a good deal.

Is someone trying to sabotage the movie or is it a curse of the fallen film star?
 | Molly McKenna is the hard-nosed producer "Pharaoh." She is the modern, high-tech multi-tasker and who likes others to believe she's in complete control. But with production is flailing in chaos, could she hate the director enough to ensure he never makes another movie? |
 | Eda Brookes is an up and coming actress and she might be a mega-star if she pulls off her first staring role. Eda is quite a talent and will make a stunning Nefertiti. But, is she saving her best performance for the big screen or sabotaging the set so it will gain more publicity? |
 | Jorge Jackson is the newest, flashiest, big blockbuster director. No one seems to like his vision for the movie and he feels under-appreciated. Would he go so far to sabotage his own movie just so he can get his revenge on everyone for "ruining" his movie? |
 | Arthur Hitchens is the financier for "Pharaoh!" and plans on releasing the epic feature along with the original 'director's cut' and new theme park. With all the disasters, he's smartly taken out insurance for the movie and receiving money for the damages, but was this all part of the plan? |
