Summary: Too Quick
Review: We love the Nancy Drew series and look forward to each new installment. We thoroughly enjoyed the Haunted Carousel but were very disappointed when we finished it in under four hours. It didn't seem to have nearly the depth of the others in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun & Educational!
Review: A beautiful, antique carousel is mysteriously starting up in the dead of night. Is it a ghost...or is it more then it seems? In this adorable adventure starring you as teen sleuth Nancy Drew, you explore Captin's Cove, an amusement park in New Jersey suffering from a few...problems.

As you move throughout the park, you will have to solve various puzzles to advance deeper into the game. Sometimes, it will only take a phone call to dig up a clue, but other times, you will have to do things like decipher shorthand writing to advance (don't worry, you'll have plenty of help).

To warn veteran players, some things have changed in this installment. This time around, you have e-mail and a cell phone to aid you with your case. You will be able to use this cell phone anywhere but, unlike the other games, you will have to depend on it a lot more.

I thought that the 7 locations in this game were well thought out and planned. The same thing goes for the 4 main characters, who, as you interrogate them, will ALL have a motive and ALL seem like they are the culprit. The music, though somewhat scary at times, only adds to the overall flavor of the game.

Though it only took me 1 day to complete, I thought it was great! If you are a parent you will also love it. Unlike some of the other computer games out on the market, this one lets your kids have fun, while they learn.

The only complaint I have about Nancy Drew and the Hanuted Carousel is that it was too short, I guess time flies when your having fun!

Summary: AWESOME
Review: The Final Scene is a great game. The surroundings, music and story is wonderful, and the ending is a complete surprise. I recommend this game, as well as all of the other Nancy Drew games to anyone who enjoys a good mystery to keep them on their toes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding and Exciting
Review: I love a good mystery. The Nancy Drew Games supplies all of that. It is challenging and at times,mind boggoling. The many clues and games in this particular series, keeps one on its toes and always guessing. I highly recommend this game, to all Nancy Drew buffs out there. There is never a dull moment. Please keep the Nancy Drew games coming. Already looking forward to the next one. Hope it will be released before the Holidays. These games are the best past times for those dreary winter months. Thanks and keep on making them.

Summary: Fun, cool, and better than the previous one!
Review: "The Haunted Carousel" is the eighth Nancy Drew PC game, and this one likely won't disappoint. Rich in detail, this game was obviously well-planned and well-made. The graphics are awesome, the storyline is believable, the characters are interesting and amusing, and the game is all-around great.

In this game, you, as Nancy Drew, get full access to an amusement park where, recently, some very odd occurances have taken place. Search for clues, play games, solve puzzles and riddles, and -- in the end -- solve a mystery and outwit the villain. Like all the Nancy Drew games, "Haunted Carousel" brings gamers hours of entertainment and lots of fun.

"Haunted Carousel" is, in my opinion, much better than its predecessor, "Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake," which I found to be rather disappointing due to the fact that the games and puzzles seemed dull, and didn't tie well into the game. In "Carousel," the presence of a carnival midway allows for the presence of games without the feeling that the games are weirdly out-of-place. Also, the educational elements of this game (which are present in all ND games) are incorporated nicely and subtly.

I encountered one small problem with this game, however, and that involved the "Barnacle Blast" mini-game. It was impossible to beat/solve this game (a game that resembles "breakout") because the "paddle" used to hit the ball was too small. However, this problem can be solved on some computers by running the computer in "safe mode," thus making the paddle bigger. (Some computers may not enounter this problem at all, but I wanted to mention it in case yours has the same trouble mine did.)

All in all, a great game... appropriate for ages 10 and up... adults will like it, too! Perfect to play in groups or even alone... "The Haunted Carousel" earns 5 stars from me!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I have played all the Nancy Drew games and this is the best one byfar. I love how you can explore the tower and meet different people. They puzzles are pretty hard but you can call your friends to help you. I just can't wait for the new game to come out!!!!!
