Summary: Another Winner from Herinteractive!
Review: Nancy Drew is on another exciting adventure, and you can solve with her! For those of you who remember the Nancy Drew books, here is another way to enjoy your favorite teen detective. HerInteractive has come up with 4 great games for your PC and now for you Gameboy Advance. But Treasure in the Royal Tower is by far the best game so far. You are Nancy Drew, the cunning teen detective, and you are visiting a ski lodge, which contains an old tower which was brought here from France many years ago. The tower was once a favorite spot for the late Queen of France. You must find the queen's tower, and the treasure. Do so while meeting new people, calling old friends, and picking up clues. Escape from some close calls and frightening experiances. Try the game on both levels and have a blast. It is worth every penny you spend, and more. Bottom line- GET IT!

Summary: Indeed a 'Treasure'!
Review: It seemed like a long period between NANCY DREW MESSAGE IN A HAUNTED MANSION and 'TREASURE', but the wait was worth it! This adventure finds Nancy on a ski vacation where the hotel is a former old castle. That setting and the fact a snow blizzard has forced everyone to stay inside means lots of mystery and intrigue going on within the stone walls of this gigantic building. Hallways that lead nowhere, walls that have been enclosed and a history crying to be discovered! As any Nancy Drew fan knows...discovering anything is what she does best!As with the other Nancy Drew games, this one provides hours of fun for the whole family. We didn't hurry through it...just took our time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. What do we do with the Nancy Drew games when we're done? Send them on to other family members to enjoy as well, and it's not just girls and their parents that solve the mysteries but, even older boys in the family love each and every Nancy Drew (though I doubt they would admit it to their friends.) As always, now we sit back and wait for "Her Interactive" to come up with a new game for those of us addicted to the Nancy Drew mysteries.

Summary: Nancy's best virtual mystery yet!
Review: The Her Interactive Nancy Drew games have improved with each new release. Nancy Drew Treasure in the Royal Tower is the perfect combination of mystery and complications. The puzzles on the Junior level aren't so hard, that they drive you crazy, but not so easy that you scoff. The mystery is intriguing and exciting. Each suspect was more suspicious as the game went on, and only the smoothest of detectives will be able to predict who is the culprit! This mystery has less holes then Secrets can Kill, and each new clue leads to the next. It has the excellent case of 'Mansion' and the complex characters of Stay Tuned for Danger. I rarely found myself at a loss for places to go or people to talk to. A true Nancy Drew mystery, with everything from sneaking into a locked up room, to questioning the suspects about everything! Bess, George and Ned are always there to help you, though sometimes they BOTH (Bess and George are together on George's phone) give you the same hint. Be observant and stay on your toes...you never know, that little out of place panel or odd door, may lead you to the successful ending to the case! Hint: Remember to stay calm, puzzles and upseting happenings should always make you think harder, not frantically. Also, thoroughly search every room for a hint or clue. Never disregard a book or a piece of paper. Check in regularly with Bess, George and Ned, and you will stay on the right track. Happy Snooping!

Summary: Another mystery? Yay!
Review: Well, the awesome folks at HER Interactive have done it again. This time, Nancy Drew is snowed in at a modern-day castle in Wisconsin. She'll meet some strange people, sneak through creepy secret passages, and find beautiful trinkets and treasures ... not without the usual dangers, of course... Nancy Drew can't really avoid those. There will always be an evil villain trying to do her in. But hey, it's all in good fun. If you've played the other Nancy Drew games, this is more of the same. Most similar to "Message In A Haunted Mansion" (in my opinion), this game offers puzzles that are similar to puzzles in the first 3 games, but with one or two totally original ones. Other than a few surprises, there's nothing in here that's really superior to the other games; I'd say they are all pretty equal. Still, another Nancy Drew adventure is a good time waiting to happen. It took me about 12 hours to complete on the junior level, though the box claims it can take you 20. So... take your time, take the 20, and have fun, this game is great. Keep em coming!

Summary: The Best Nancy Drew Mystery Game - The Whole Family Loves It
Review: My 11-year-old daughter recently received her copy of the Nancy Drew - Treasure in the Royal Tower, and the whole family (including her four brothers) are fascinated by it. The graphics and characters in this game are very realistic, and the built-in hints are just enough to keep her moving along in the mystery. As a parent, I am glad to see these games geared toward girls, since it seems like many of the games are more suited for the boys. It improves her "computer confidence" as she masters the skills needed to solve the mystery. This is my daughter's second game in this series. She had received the previous game in the series, Message in a Haunted Mansion, for Christmas last year, and she loved every minute of it. It may be from "Her" Interactive, but the whole family loves this game. Her five siblings like to gather around the computer and watch as she makes her way through the spooky old castle, interviewing potential suspects and solving the puzzles. We can't wait for the next one!

Summary: Who Knew? I'm Hooked on Nancy Drew!
Review: I realize that the software geniuses at HerInteractive originally created the Nancy Drew mystery games for girls...but, uh...even though I'm over 30, I just can't help myself! Stay Tuned for Danger is completely amazing! It's such a thrill to pretend you're Nancy Drew and try to think like a master detective. There's endless puzzles to solve and clues to look for. But watch out for mind-boggling twists, turns and surprises--they'll keep you occupied for hours! You truly have to see the dynamite 3D graphics to believe it! Each room you enter is designed and decorated with exquisite detail. You'll also love the music and captivating dialogue between the characters. Beware of only one thing: you may get hooked! Everyone will LOVE this game! (I'm trying to tear my husband away from it as we speak...he's been playing the game now for 8 straight hours!)

Summary: 32 year old mom (bought it for ME)
Review: Ok, I'm 32, have a small child of my own, and bought this for me. I've always liked Nancy Drew, and always had fantasies of being this sort of detective (like Charlie's Angels, which, uh, I still have dreams at night about)....anyway, this is a totally fun game...I find myself hooked on this and have a hard time putting it away....which my poor daughter can attest to! The reviews stated it took a long time to install, but I seem to remember it taking no longer than any other I have, only a few minutes...I have started with being a Jr. Detective, and I find it quite challenging, and I am a college degreed woman! I've already used the "second chance" feature as I continue to learn how to "be a better sleuth"...I highly recommend it, and am going to purchase the other two games, although from what I understand they do not have some of the latest features in them that this one does. Looking forward to (hopefully) the next one!

Summary: THE BEST NANCY DREW GAME
Review: This game kept me playing all day until 1 o'clock in the morning. It is my favorite Nancy Drew Game. It has a great enviroment, the people look very life like, and the game is also a little frightening. It will keep you playing until the mystery is solved. The game will take you through many challenges and hard puzzels, and will have a big surprise ending. I definetly recomend this game to everyone.

Summary: Very interesting --- Another good mystery
Review: I thought it was very good, only it was a little too complicated. I liked the usually good graphics (for Nancy Drew games) but I didn't particularly like the way you couldn't easily get around. Really well done ghost dogs, very scary. The mystery was a creepy one, and the villain was certainly unexpected. That's all I'll say. Anymore would spoil it.
