Summary: Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake
Review: My son got this for Christmas last year. At 9 years old, he was captivated by the game as was the rest of the family. Playing as junior detectives, it was challenging and fun. We look forward to solving a new mystery as senior detectives.

Summary: There is No 'Deception' About This Game!!!
Review: Wow! When we bought "The Haunted Carousel," we had very high expectations considering the previous games. We were, however, very dissapointed when we finished in less than one day, were shocked by easy puzzles, and were bored by unchallenging conflicts. We were very leary when "Danger on Deception Island" came out, but we gave it a chance.
We were thrilled by this game!!! The graphics and sound effects were awesome! The puzzles were challenging, but after a lot of thought, you could solve them. This game, #9 in the series, was the best by far. The plot twisted constantly, making it impossible to detect the 'culprit' before the end of the game. The kayaking was adventerous and fun, as well as the characters being realistic.
If you love a good challenge and are ready to take some action, this game is certainly for you! Two thumbs up, Nancy!

Summary: Nancy's got a winner here!
Review: I buy these Nancy Drew games, send one to my 12 year old niece in Canada, have another one at home in Florida for my 9 year old daughter and then my niece and her mom vs. myself and my daughter have long distance competitions to see who can solve the mystery first.
We were disappointed with Haunted Carousel. But Danger on Deception Island made up for it. Great puzzels, fun reactions from Nancy when we tried to feed her wierd sandwiches, challenging problems to solve and it was long enough to satisfy the girls and moms. The whale was cool and the dangers when Nancy slips or trips or gets caught were fun and exciting.
This one's a keeper and we give it 4 thumbs up!

Summary: Nancy Drew Haunted Carousel
Review: The Haunted Carousel game was a big disappointment to me for several reasons. I am a fan of the Nancy Drew software and only have good things to say about the *other* titles in this series by Her Interactive. That said, this particular game is too short, has fewer clues and puzzles (which are much too easy), other characters are barely fleshed out, and overall, it lacks any sense of mystery or intrigue basic to this type of game. I suspect that HerInteractive was in a crunch to get Danger on Deception Island out quickly in time for Xmas, and so they skimped on this particular game. I do not recommend it at all!

Summary: Gah! A fantastic game an scary enough too...
Review: When Nancy goes to Moon Lake to find out what is behind these ghost dogs, she meets up with a scare! When the dogs attacked the house I was frozen on the edge of my seat. When I got lost in the forest I smacked myself because I had forgotten the map and hadn't saved the game. I got out though. When I was stuck in the shed I got blown up seven times before I figured it out. You get to fix a motorboat, take pictures, and put out a fire.
With one teeny con.
There are only three characters, whilst in the other ND gamed there are four or five even. Still a great game! Oh, and I reccomend this... a lot!

Summary: Nancy Drew strikes AGAIN! Another fantastic game...
Review: For everyone who thinks this game stinks- you are wrong.
Nancy goes to New Jersey to try and figure out why the carousel's been haunted, and why a horse was stolen. Play games at the amusement park, ride the carousel, play a harmonica, learn shorthand. And then more. As usual, at first I was sure the suspect was someone else. I was so sure that I started being mean to that person. Wrong me. You'll have a good time and learn a lot.

Summary: Nancy makes a splash in the Pacific Northwest!!
Review: Teenage sleuth Nancy Drew is back and better than ever in her latest case, 'Danger on Deception Island.' This time around Nancy is visiting marine biologist Katie Firestone at her friends' request, but things go wrong as usual. Shortly after Ms. Drew's arrival at to the San Juan Islands, Katie discovers that her whale watching boat has been vandalized. While Katie makes everything shipshape, Nancy is hot on the trail of the vandals, along with investigating recent burglaries, digging up Snake Horse Harbor's past and making friends with a local legend.Besides Katie, Nancy meets Holt Scotto, fisherman and harbormaster candidate, Jenna Deblin, owner of the Hot Kettle Café, and Andy Jason, who runs a rival whale watching business and wants to buy Katie out. Add to that strange fish that have been washing up on shore, a string of burglaries, and an eccentric widow who launches messages in bottles into the harbour. 'Danger on Deception Island' is the most organic and satisfying of the nine current Nancy Drew games from Her Interactive. Several new additions include bicycling (similar to the motorboat interface used in 'Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake') and kayaking, WWW access from Nancy's trusty laptop and more. The puzzles were excellently integrated into the gaming environment, making use of the Pacific Northwest's charms: building sand castles, kayaking sea caves, bicycling the winding coastal roads, exploring a lighthouse, and digging for clams on deserted beaches. Nancy must also help Katie restore her boat to working order. There are several fun activities not necessary to win the game, including fixing sandwiches with some not-so-tasty ingredients (jellyfish, Tabasco sauce, expired mayonnaise, baking soda), building sand castles, and educational games about whales. As usual, there are two levels of difficulty, Junior and Senior Detective, and there are plenty of hints and help scattered along the way for both levels, including calling the Hardy Boys for tips and clues. There are many educational elements in 'Deception Island,' including informative 'webpages' about nautical terms, wood identification, Morse code, various types of whales and more that are necessary to solve the mysteries. Graphics are gorgeous (including photo overlays during the biking scenes), character modeling is lifelike, music includes rousing sea chanteys and ominous strings reminiscent of 'Jaws,' and voice acting is above average. Sound effects make you feel like you're really standing on a lonely, windswept shore with only the breaking waves and cries of the gulls to keep you company. And you get to interact with a killer whale as well! Keep up the good work, Her Interactive! (Nancy's next mystery is 'Secret of Shadow Ranch.')

Summary: This program stinks! Doesn't work with xp prof.
Review: My daughter, age 10 can't use this because the curser skips at a big delay time. I specifically looked to make sure the program works with xp and it said it does.
I tried to get help from the nancy drew website and it even tells people with skipping cursers to install a new curser driver. This is rediculous.
I've never had a prob with any other programs.
I have XP Professional and there is nothing wrong with my computer, it's the game.
Anybody want to buy it?
