Summary: Released too soon?
Review: I was quite disappointed with this new addition to the series. It seems to have so many flaws and inconsistencies. As just one example, there are many places where you can't rotate 360 degrees and navigation becomes quite a problem. I wound up going places I didn't want to go on numerous occasions simply because the program wouldn't let me turn around. Another problem with the game is that it seems very sloppy. If you come at something from one angle, a door is there; if you come at it from another angle, the door has disappeared. It's a cute game, and I don't mean to imply otherwise. However, I think Her Interactive should have delayed the release until the many flaws were worked out. I thought Message in a Haunted Mansion was far superior technically.

Summary: The Great Castle Adventure
Review: This game has it all. What I call a real adventure. You wander through the castle finding all the hidden rooms, stairways, and dark places.In playing this game, I found that you can talk with interesting game people that made you feel as through you were really part of the adventure and not just interacting with a keyboard. As a 76 year old who grew up with the Nancy Drew series of novels, I believe this game should be rated as one of the great ones. I feel that this game would be suited for daughters, mothers, grandmothers, and even great grandmothers like myself. I have all of the current Nancy Drew adventures and am looking forward to new ones!

Summary: Another Winner from Herinteractive!
Review: Nancy Drew is on another exciting adventure, and you can solve with her! For those of you who remember the Nancy Drew books, here is another way to enjoy your favorite teen detective. HerInteractive has come up with 4 great games for your PC and now for you Gameboy Advance. But Treasure in the Royal Tower is by far the best game so far. You are Nancy Drew, the cunning teen detective, and you are visiting a ski lodge, which contains an old tower which was brought here from France many years ago. The tower was once a favorite spot for the late Queen of France. You must find the queen's tower, and the treasure. Do so while meeting new people, calling old friends, and picking up clues. Escape from some close calls and frightening experiances. Try the game on both levels and have a blast. It is worth every penny you spend, and more. Bottom line- GET IT!

Summary: Nancy's best virtual mystery yet!
Review: The Her Interactive Nancy Drew games have improved with each new release. Nancy Drew Treasure in the Royal Tower is the perfect combination of mystery and complications. The puzzles on the Junior level aren't so hard, that they drive you crazy, but not so easy that you scoff. The mystery is intriguing and exciting. Each suspect was more suspicious as the game went on, and only the smoothest of detectives will be able to predict who is the culprit! This mystery has less holes then Secrets can Kill, and each new clue leads to the next. It has the excellent case of 'Mansion' and the complex characters of Stay Tuned for Danger. I rarely found myself at a loss for places to go or people to talk to. A true Nancy Drew mystery, with everything from sneaking into a locked up room, to questioning the suspects about everything! Bess, George and Ned are always there to help you, though sometimes they BOTH (Bess and George are together on George's phone) give you the same hint. Be observant and stay on your toes...you never know, that little out of place panel or odd door, may lead you to the successful ending to the case! Hint: Remember to stay calm, puzzles and upseting happenings should always make you think harder, not frantically. Also, thoroughly search every room for a hint or clue. Never disregard a book or a piece of paper. Check in regularly with Bess, George and Ned, and you will stay on the right track. Happy Snooping!

Summary: Another mystery? Yay!
Review: Well, the awesome folks at HER Interactive have done it again. This time, Nancy Drew is snowed in at a modern-day castle in Wisconsin. She'll meet some strange people, sneak through creepy secret passages, and find beautiful trinkets and treasures ... not without the usual dangers, of course... Nancy Drew can't really avoid those. There will always be an evil villain trying to do her in. But hey, it's all in good fun. If you've played the other Nancy Drew games, this is more of the same. Most similar to "Message In A Haunted Mansion" (in my opinion), this game offers puzzles that are similar to puzzles in the first 3 games, but with one or two totally original ones. Other than a few surprises, there's nothing in here that's really superior to the other games; I'd say they are all pretty equal. Still, another Nancy Drew adventure is a good time waiting to happen. It took me about 12 hours to complete on the junior level, though the box claims it can take you 20. So... take your time, take the 20, and have fun, this game is great. Keep em coming!

Summary: The Best Nancy Drew Mystery Game - The Whole Family Loves It
Review: My 11-year-old daughter recently received her copy of the Nancy Drew - Treasure in the Royal Tower, and the whole family (including her four brothers) are fascinated by it. The graphics and characters in this game are very realistic, and the built-in hints are just enough to keep her moving along in the mystery. As a parent, I am glad to see these games geared toward girls, since it seems like many of the games are more suited for the boys. It improves her "computer confidence" as she masters the skills needed to solve the mystery. This is my daughter's second game in this series. She had received the previous game in the series, Message in a Haunted Mansion, for Christmas last year, and she loved every minute of it. It may be from "Her" Interactive, but the whole family loves this game. Her five siblings like to gather around the computer and watch as she makes her way through the spooky old castle, interviewing potential suspects and solving the puzzles. We can't wait for the next one!
