Summary: Thank you Nancy Drew
Review: It is so much fun to play the detective once again..I love the games. You want them to go on forever. This one was easier to solve quickly, but I still loved it... it made me feel successful when I played it faster...Meaning I never got "stuck" in this game.. It was fun to do the music rolls.....and I love to ride carosels..... The game has more interaction on the side and it definitely worth playing......I wanted the Hardy Boy's to interact more in this one. I never had to call them... I like calling people and talking with everyone.... fun characters...and some cool graphics..... Loved it......

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: I Love Carosels
Review: A game in the theme park was a fun game. I like the interactive park of riding on the carosel and playing the games on midway...The game was more creative with the characters and the characters were more deceptive. The story developed with all kinds of deceptions until the end which of course is a surprise... Cool graphics and sounds...... Another sucess for Nancy Drew.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nancy Drew again
Review: The Haunted Carosel is another creative game by HER interactive. The game is easy to play in an order and play through the game feeling like your getting somewhere and figuring out important things along the way. I liked the interactive game playing the midway games and the computor game on Nancy's laptop....The script was more deceptive than in some of the other games and lead you to believe it was someone else. The characters were all suspisous and kind of eclectic....It was a fun game........

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun at the theme park
Review: I really liked this game. I liked the part that it took place in the theme park and you could play the midway games. Also ride on the carosel. Some of the clues were pretty clever. The plot was deceptive but I played it through and had fun. I liked ordering food and playing the computor game on Nancy's laptop...It was fun to play.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Dogs Rock
Review: I like being scared and the beginning of this game does just that!! It makes you feel as if the dogs are coming right in your house!!... But then you find more clues as you play the game and are not afraid to go outside at night or that the dogs will really "get you".... It was a clever ending and the end was definately worth playing.... Another fun Nancy Drew game......

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing and Dumbed Down
Review: I am a fan of the Nancy Drew games, but this one was a disappointment. The game has a map interface that takes Nancy directly to her destination, which means no more wandering around for Nancy. Also, there is not nearly as many "things" to look at; instead many clues are "given" to Nancy by contacts on her cell phone. There was no "night time" alarm clock which takes away Nancy's opportunity to explore when people are not around; it also takes away much of the thrill and fear of "being caught." There wasn't much suspense in this game either and the mystery was very easy to solve. I gave the game two stars because my game was not buggy, things worked like they were supposed to and the villian was difficult to guess. I do think that Her Interactive should stick with their older formats: Ghost Dogs and the Haunted Mansion were great, suspensful games that required a detective to crack the case.

Summary: The Final Scene
Review: Your visiting your friend Maya in St. Louis, Missouri and she has scored an interview with one of today's hottest young stars, Brady Armstrong. The interview is taking place at the Royal Palladium Theatre, which is undergoing demolition in a few days! Maya lets you tag along to the interview but, of course, you have to wait outside! Maya goes in and but a few seconds later, you hear a scream! It's Maya! You dash into the room and she's no where to be found! All of the sudden, the phone rings. It's someone saying they've taken Maya! They tell you that you have to stop the demolition to save Maya's life, What are you going to do?

That is what starts the game, "The Final Scene" and let me tell you, it is exciting as it sounds. You can get behind Nancy 100% and you have to find Maya! I've played this game nearing 10 times and I do have to say it's one of my favorites. There are a wide range of challenges to deal with, each unique in there own ways. The graphics and movement in this game are wonderful and great for this type of game.

If you've never played a Nancy Drew/Herinteractive game before, I assure you you will fall in love! I've been into Herinteractive's games for about 2 years and I absolutely love them! They never seem to get old, and with new ones coming out each year you always have something to look forward too.

So if you're thinking about buying, The Final Scene, you won't be disappointed, weather this is your first ND game or your 10th!

Summary: Haunted Carousel Rocks !!
Review: A very creative plot !! The clues fall right in line with the storey making it a simplier game to play but a really fun game. I thought this was a very creative way of piecing together the clues. Miles the robot was delightful and fun to follow his clues. More interactive things like computor games, playing the midway games and ordering food added a lot of fun to the game. Even if you are a #1 sleuth at Nancy Drew this game is worth playing. It was creative and takes thinking ahead to another level.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Adventure Game, NOT a role playing game
Review: Amazon's reviewer doesn't know what a role playing game is. Nancy Drew is an adventure game, not a role playing game. There are no statistics here, no skills for your character to improve, no behind-the-scenes rolls of the dice when you fight an enemy and, in fact, you fight no enemies.

Instead a story, a mystery unfolds as you explore various environments and speak with various characters. It's enjoyable as all Nancy Drew games have been, falling squarely into the formula of tried and true mystery novels. You move about a la MYST, in a series of still screens, though characters animate now and then and a few cut scenes occur. The graphics are slick, the interface well designed, the voice acting professional, and yet there's something to these games that makes it clear that the bottom line, cost, was always well in mind as the game was being made. That is to say, Nancy Drew games are not no-holds-barred achievements like The Last Express (perhaps the best mystery game ever made, along with The Pandora Directive and Gabriel Knight 2).

Nancy Drews fall into the B category of adventure games, alright, the B+ category, but are redeemed by their clean, bug free design, lovely graphics, and by Nancy's inimitable spirit.

The game is on the easy side of difficulty, but still challenging enough to be fun for adults; but Nancy Drew lovers 10 and under should play with a little parental assistance. Of course, walkthroughs abound on the web and can help if both parent and child get stumped. Just type "The Haunted Carousel walkthrough" into any search engine.
