Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Her Interactive's latest edition in the Nancy Drew adventure series. Nancy Drew: The Deadly Device puts players in the role of the famous sleuth as she tackles the case of a murdered physicist involved in a top secret Tesla-inspired facility.

Here's an excerpt:

Gameplay is pretty straight forward. You move Nancy around the facility, inspecting the offices, lounges, laboratory, and other rooms. You will also need to interact with the employees, finding out what they think about the person murdered and the prime suspect. This game is driven by the investigation. Often nothing will happen or no new information can be found, until a certain task is completed or a clue uncovered. But the game isn’t specifically linear, there is generally more than one path to investigate. The player usually has an idea of what needs to be done next, although there were a few instances where it wasn’t so obvious. If there is a question, Nancy keeps a journal which includes a list of tasks that need to be completed as well as keeps track of important information, such as codes found, and other information gathered.
