Summary: Short Fun
Review: This Nancy Drew Game, the Haunted Carousel was very exciting and I couldn't wait for it to come out. Three hours of game time, and I was done. I had solved the case, but not in the 25+ game time garunteed. I would have given it five stars, but it being so short I took off one star. I thought the characters were fun and some parts were really challenging such as using the lathe. My favorite characters were Joy and Miles, the riddles were great. I didn't really like how the cell phone would ring and naturally pop up, because sometimes it was in the middle of when I was planning to do something important. Overall though, it was a very fun game!!! I cannot wait until Danger on Deception Island. It sounds great and is coming as soon as October of this year!

Summary: BORING
Review: I have played all of the Nancy Drew games, and ecxept for Secrets Can Kill, I enjoyed all of them. When I bought The Haunted Carousel I thought it was going to be as good as the best of them. I was very dissapointed. It was very short, very easy and you didn't have to snoop at all. The puzzles were very easy and the new computer feature helps you out too much. In conclusion I felt like this game was a waste of money. I still feel like the best game was Treasure in a Royal Tower.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I have all the Nancy Drew mysteries...they are wonderfull.Which is why I'm so disappointed with this one in particular (The Haunted Carousel) It does'nt live up it its name, its as if they just whipped this out and depended on its name to sell it. Instead of 20 hours of game play, it should read 4+ hours and 10 and under intstead of 10 and over. Its too simple on senior (can't imagine what its like on junior) ..not at all like its thought provoking predecessors, there is'nt any depth to the plot. What happened to the sluething?

Summary: Great, but short
Review: I'm a big fan of the Nancy Drew mystery games and Nancy Drew and the Haunted Carousel doesn't disappoint. Well, maybe a little. The story is good, game play is simple, but its too short. I got maybe 6 hours of game play out of it. If you're looking for a challenging adventure game, pass this up. If you're looking for a fun, easy, quick adventure, than this if for you. Perfect for kids.

Summary: Great gameplay, but too short!
Review: The first words that come to my mind when i think about Ghost Dogs is that its far too short! I have played almost all of the ND games, and is it just me, or is HER making them shorter then usual??? Or, the other option is, am i just getting better? Im getting The Haunted Carousel tommorow, because here in Canada its been delayed, which is horrible! I have also heard that that game is also short, and the ending is very unexpected. Anyways, Ghost dogs was a great game, but i thought venturing through the forest over and over was boring, and sometimes confusing! Espesailly taking pictures of those annoying birds! And walking through the whole forest just to get to the graveyard! Uhhh! That was a bit spooky. Also, the very ending came up a bit too quickly, the grid for the map was cool, but then again you get locked in at the end, and that was scary, i had to turn the volume down because of the music! The villian was who i suspected, and it seems that i have always guessed correctly, except for treasure in a royal tower, which is my favourite HER game! It only took me all of three days to beet that game, but i only played an hour a day, so youd say three hours, and thats without a walkthrough. HER, your games are so too good, but also, too short!

Summary: Waste of money
Review: My daughter loves these games, loves to spend time solving the mystery, finding clues and spending time on the game. This one lasted a few hours. It practically played itself at the end. It was short enough to have been a demo disk for the real Nancy Drew game. We have all of the others, which were ok games. Poor, clunky interface, but lots of content. This one had the same interface without the content. No more for us.

Summary: I'd have to give this 4 stars . . .
Review: I played all the Nancy Drew games except for the newest one so far. And to tell you the truth, this one was kind of a run-around type of game. Especially in the museum. I must of went around the whole city 20 million times in just a couple of hours of playing this game. And some of the puzzles didn't make sense sometimes. I would have to go to herinteractive.com just to get some help. It's a great game just like to rest of them, but the others were better.

Summary: Worst Nancy Drew Game in the Series
Review: I was very disappointed in the newest Nancy Drew game, the Haunted Carousel. I have been a great fan of the computer game series, but this game was not nearly as fun, challenging, or interesting as the others have been.
For starters, the game can be completed extremely fast which takes a lot of fun out of pondering the mystery. Secondly, I had guessed the culprit almost immediately, and my suspicions were only confirmed as the game progressed. I never even suspected any of the other characters. I also found many of the elements of the game extremely bizarre and unbelievable in real world scenarios, which only hurts the series because Nancy is supposed to be a character to whom everyone can relate and imagine being in her shoes. There will still be die-hard Nancy Drew fans who think this game is great. But, it seems to me that Her Interactive has realized what a seller the games in the series are and have stopped producing quality games in favor of producing more games faster, which leads to poor plot lines, bad character development, and mediocre games. I can only hope that the next game in the series will make up for the mediocrity of the Haunted Carousel.
