Final pros and cons after having finished the game:

The Good:

+ Setting - I liked the movie Twister and it was interesting to learn more about the topic.
+ Good riddles - the number placement to fix the camera was actually pretty easy, then again, I solved a legion of those on this site (in the Online Games section) already.
+ P.G. Krolmeister was very quirky.
+ Land Rush!

+ Good riddles - the number placement to fix the camera was actually pretty easy, then again, I solved a legion of those on this site (in the Online Games section) already.
+ P.G. Krolmeister was very quirky.
+ Land Rush!
+ As usual, little things you find that remind you of old cases - like "Watching Waverley" on TV.

The Bad:

- Date and weather symbols puzzle! Had to look that one up in a walkthrough since the instructions weren't clear at all.
- Phone hints not really helpful this time. "Put three blue circles in corners", or even worse, "Do not use the corners!" Yeah, right.
- Scare factor: Zero. (Only one "frightening" scene, and they already gave away that one in the demo and the trailer.)

Bottom line: Save for one puzzle it's actually an easy game, and might be even a good one to begin. Interesting stuff that I can recommend. Show less

I recommend this game!

There wasn't as much storm chasing in this game as I expected, but there was still a lot to do. There are a lot of extras in this game that are fun, but not required for the story. It makes you want to play it again. I didn't need hints or the walkthrough with this game to see what needed to be done next, which was nice, but I did need it once or twice to figure out the puzzles. The mini games ...Show more

I didn't need hints or the walkthrough with this game to see what needed to be done next, which was nice, but I did need it once or twice to figure out the puzzles. The mini games were super fun! And the out takes at the end are great, esp. if you are a fan of The Phantom of Venice. Show less

I love "Trail of the Twister" mainly for its ambiance. I loved the stormy weather. I enjoyed the country feel and learning about tornadoes.

The mystery is about a tornado research team who are trying to win a competition while someone is trying to sabotage them. I was completely surprised to find who the culprit was in the end.

I love "Trail of the Twister" mainly for its ambiance. I loved the stormy weather. I enjoyed the country feel and learning about tornadoes.

The mystery is about a tornado research team who are trying to win a competition while someone is trying to sabotage them. I was completely surprised to find who the culprit was in the end.

You have to drive around a bit. but not as much as in "Old Clock" for instance. Also you drive pretty fast and you have to dodge other cars, so you can have a bit of fun while driving!

I liked the minigames. They were all integral to the story and not overwhelming like some ND games (hello Ransom of the Seven Ships!) Some were easy even on Senior level, but some were real head-scratchers. They were also nicely paced.

I liked the interaction with the characters. Conversations were mostly to the point and no one went on for ages about their love lives and such. The Krolmeister character on the phone was fun. Other than him, you can only call the Hardy Boys, and there weren't many hints, but you won't really need them.

"Twister" is suspenseful and challenging but not overly hard. I'd nearly lost my taste for Nancy Drew after playing the headache-inducing "Seven Ships". This game was challenging but also fun. Show less

I recommend this game!

I've played all of the Nancy Drew games (it's a bit of an addiction actually) and i can honestly say that they have never ceased to exceed expectations! They all present clever challenges and well constructed story lines; a great game!

I recommend this game!

Ill start by saying my fav Nancy Drew is the Shadow at the Waters Edge-in Japan, my next is the one at the college. Now this one, Trail of the Twister would be my 3rd fav and Ive played many of the Nancy Drew games.

I especially liked this game for the easier games you play to earn coins, so that you can buy candy and also to be able to buy the gift in the shop for 100 bucks.

I loved the Easter eggs hidden throughout, though tough to get as usual.
I liked driving around on the map and finding places to go and taking photos of the clouds.
I loved all of the characters and all of the scenes. I think my fav character was the guy in the barn. Always working on the car. Pa would be my next fav. This was a great game! Show less
