Summary: Too quick, too easy, too disappointed
Review: My sister and I waited and waited for this game to come out.
We loved the Nancy Drew series and enjoyed playing the others.
But when we finally were able to buy this game we finished in it in less than two days. It was extremely easy and the game world was small and condensed. The story line was cute and the dialogue was good, but the amount of exploring and discovering of the game was rather poor. It was a good game for younger detectives, but it was way too easy for us older kids and I hope that the next games are made longer.

Summary: Not Impressed
Review: I am a Nancy Drew game fan, but this one was a disappointment. The game was way easy and lacked many of the hallmarks of ND games. For example, Nancy no longer has an alarm clock to go from day to night. Therefore, the gamer is forced to "sneak around" while people are still their offices. The amusement park has a map and you just click where you want to go. No more fun wandering around... There's loads of people to you need to call to give you answers you need instead of doing the research yourself. And the topper: there are very few "hot" items to pick up. Not once did I get nervous or worried and the ending was anti-climatic. I think that herinteractive should stick with what worked before. This one is way too dumbed down.

Summary: BUY THIS NOW
Review: I am a huge fan of the nancy drew computer games, and when i preordered it i was so exited. When i came i played it untill i beat it. It was very addicting. One of the favorite things about this gmae was how you could buy food from the hotel. I found this quite fun to do, and i know i sound strange but i did it constantly. In this game you get too- ride the carousel, play the mid-way games, insult the staff(i did this a lot), and of course snoop. I know this sounds bad, but this game didnt exaclty meet how i thought it was going to be. I actaully found it very boreing at times. But all in all, it was really good.

Summary: Great Game!!!
Review: This game was the best one I have played so far out of four! This game took me the longest to figure out because of all the challanging puzzles and difficault excape routes. This is money well spent if you love the Nancy Drew games!

Summary: good enough just to earn a star
Review: I was slightly disappointed in this game. Why? Well it was extremely short. Also, there weren't that many puzzles, as if Herinteractive is running out of ideas. I wish I could of sleuth around some more, there were so many places that we could of sleuth at. There were a lot of bugs in this game and now my computer is fool of patches that I loaded from Herinteractive. There were so many bugs, that I could hardly play the game. Next time, I think Herinteractive should spend a bit more time checking out for the glitches and all. But I got over that.The characters weren't as fun as they are in the other games.I wasted twenty dollars on a game that took me a day to beat.If you are really looking foward to spend twenty dollars, I wouldn't waste my money.. It was so easy. Almost too easy. Herinteractive makes very good games, but this one, wasn't as good as the others.

Summary: Great, not very short...
Review: The Music was great, and the game was very suspensful... I always thought 'This is where the villian is going to get me' LOL
About it being very short... in other ND games, you had 4 or 5 masive rooms to explore... and when you got stuck, you had to comb threw every room a couple of times to see if you missed something... In HC there were 9 differant locations, over 12 differant rooms. Each was very small... So you didn't always have to wonder if you missed something, and explore a huge room... Just a couple of small ones. This break down was extremely helpful. The graphics were amazing, only, like Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, the closed captioning would come on occasionaly when you didn't want it to. The music was great also, very amusment parkish... LOL. This game had a very good plot, and a lot of comic relief, not to much, but enough to make this game fun. I do have to say, the ending where you battle the criminal wasn't very long, so I was a little bit dissapointed, but It was still a great game. :~) I give it five stars.

Summary: Fun, but too quick
Review: My 10-year-old and I played this game after playing all of the previous Nancy Drew games. It has great graphics, an interesting plot, and challenging puzzles. The one drawback was that we finished it WAY too quickly, unlike the last two games. We're looking forward to the next installment and hope that it lasts longer than this one! That said, we would both recommend this game, with the caveat that you should play it in Senior Detective mode to make it last longer.

Summary: Hard to keep playing
Review: In the beginning, it was very easy and fun. You portray Nancy Drew, a teenage detective snowwed in a castle-like resort in Wisconsin.
In the middle of the game, when I asked Bess and George for advice, my computer would freeze. My computer would freeze also when I was talking to different charachters. I also am stuck on one part while trying to get passed a door with the elevator blocking it. Otherwise, I liked it.

Summary: Great quick game, but somewhat disappointing
Review: We love the Nancy Drew game series and find it a great way to challenge, empower, and educate young people, but this long awaited installment just didn't reach the level of previous games. We were able to complete gameplay in less than 3 hours, which is disappointing as we were looking forward to this game for some time. Some superb new elements have been added (such as a cell phone, e-mail hints, interesting riddles, and more interactive 'hotel room'), but overall not as educational (as say Scarlet Hand which was one of the best in terms of education)or satisfying as it should have been. Still looking forward to the next installment --- hope it retains some of the better aspects of previous games and loses some of the weaker aspects of this one. Overall, we were disappointed, but hopeful for the next one.
