Summary: Is this one MAinlY A history lesson???
Review: I have played all of the nancy drew games with much delight and have throughly enjoyed all of them...except this one. there are so many puzzels to uncover (Most of which have nothing to do directly with solving the case) i ended up feeling like i was taking an online exam in maya history rather than playing a nancy drew detective game.
Now i have nothing against puzzels , i throughly enjoy solving them, but i do feel as though it has been "over done" on this game, couple that with also having to keep going back to find answers to further questions from the museum aisle. which are not the most easy to get around (in my opinion.)Also i must say that i did not find the spinning pointer helpful when it hit the edge of the screen and takes you against your will on a 360 degrees tour to be useful when i wanted to stop moving.
I quickly began to tire of this game and the need to complete it which is a shame ... I look forward to the next nancy drew mystery. but this one i wouldnt recommend
Had this been the first game i bought i wouldnt have brought another one. luckily it was not.

Summary: This is the best!
Review: My thoughts on Treasure in a Royal tower are that it is the best Nancy Drew game. I have played all the Nancy Drew games and none of them were as good as this. TRT has the best characters, best plot, best setting, and it is also the most challenging. It was certanly great.

Summary: Best Game Ever!
Review: I have all of the Nancy Drew games, but I thought this one was the best game yet! I also thought it was the easiest. I got this game for my 11th birthday, and finished it in about 9 hours. The graphics were great, and the hints were much more helpful than in the other games. I am looking forward to the next game in the series!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Intriguing mystery
Review: The cover says it is for "ages 10 and Up". I would say it is more like ages 12 and up, unless you have a child who stays on the A+ Honor Roll.

There is more area and people to cover than the previous games. A positive note, it is ONE disc. That is GOOOOOD. I recall one of the Nancy Drew games having two discs and I had to a lot of switching ... OFTEN. A negative note, this is not a game you can stop playing a week and then get back into. There is a lot of note taking, impressions of personalities to remember, etc. After 5 or more days, you forget small (but vital) things.

Yes, I recommend it highly, but not for age 10. I also recommend, if the player is around age 12, to send in the card for the game secrets/manual.... Otherwise, your gamer may end up stuck in a spot or two and is UNABLE to continue on without some vital clue. The manual can be used to help over those rough spots.

One more thing, check the system requirements before purchasing. I have heard that some people are trying to play the game on a machine without the requirements listed. (Amazon lists these requirements near the price.) If you don't have the lowest requirements, forget it. It will freeze often.... (IT'S FREE). Then you can go to the chat board where you choose which of the games you are playing, all 6 are listed, and ask questions, leave tips, etc. It won't be long before your post is answered either! Seems as though many people are always there.

Summary: Nancy Drew Treasure in the Royal Tower
Review: My sons and their friends, also boys, had a great time with this game. It's too bad that it is marketed and designed for just girls, because it is a wonderful, challenging mystery game for all; even some adults get hooked, yes, men too. There is no reason why boys will not enjoy this mystery adventure! Maybe the Hardy Boys will come out with a version. Until then I'm going to buy more Nancy Drew software at the request of my sons.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Another great game!
Review: "Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand" is the 6th in this series by HER Interactive. Each game is full of clues, puzzles, and exciting (and possibly dangerous) adventures. "Scarlet Hand" is no exception. In this game, you (as Nancy) take an internship at the Beech Hill Museum, and when a priceless artifact goes missing, it's up to you to find out what's going on. You'll explore the museum (which includes a pyramid with several levels, and an outside exhibit), and take the subway to visit several other key locations. You'll talk to various people, all the while knowing that one of them could be the thief. It's a really fun game; I've played all the others and this one took longer than the previous game ("Final Scene") for me. It took about 10 hours on the senior level, and I was playing it with a partner. There are a lot of facts to write down and recall, and the puzzles in this game are very original. I was very pleased with the number of puzzles; just the right amount. What I really liked about this game, in comparison to some of the other Nancy Drew games, was that you didn't have to maneuver your mouse so much to find things. In some of the other games, you can only see objects if you position your cursor at just the right angle turning just the right direction. In this game, everything was very out in the open and the game was easy to maneuver; surprisingly, however, that didn't make the game any less challenging than its predecessors. Just another great addition to the "Nancy Drew" games collection, "Scarlet Hand" is sure to please gamers and mystery-lovers alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Excellent Addition to the ND Computer Game Family
Review: This is BY FAR the best Nancy Drew Game Her Interactive has to offer! Besides having fun solving the mystery, you learn tons of cool things about ancient Mayan culture. The animation is great and the mystery is not easy to solve. There are many fun activities. This is definitely worth the money! A must have for all computer gamers and ND fans!
