Rating: Summary: One of the Best Mystery PC Interactive Games! Review: The Nancy Drew PC Mystery Games are fun for anyone to play! Great 3D graphics, background music and sound effects! You are the detective. It's fun to interact with the cast of characters, figure out the fun,challenging puzzles & games, gather clues, and narrow down your list of suspects. "Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake" is one of the more interactive ones. I also really enjoyed: "Secret of the Scarlet Hand", "Message in Haunted Mansion" and "Danger on Deception Island". I first played on the Junior level, but now I play at the Senior Detective level. You can save your game along the way. ... I think younger children might need assitance here & there. Really, all of the N.D. games are great fun!
Rating: Summary: Ghost Dogs review Review: This game was very fun. It gets sorrta scary too, which makes it more fun. There was alot of suspense in this game. When you find out who the culprit is you'll be very surprised. Everyone seems suspicious so you never know what to ask! Have Fun!
Rating: Summary: The worst game in the series Review: I was excited about getting "The Haunted Carousel" when i orderd it.What a let down.This is by far the most boring game in the series.Its way to easy.Plus you are limited by where you can go.This is a major step back to the quality of the first game in the series.Cheap and fast way of making Herinteractive a quick buck.They just threw this together.I hope future games,they take the time to really think things through.
Rating: Summary: Very Fun and Spooky! Review: This was the second Nancy Drew game I played with my 15 year-old sister and I thought it was very fun! Nancy's friend gets kidnapped in an old theater called The Royal Palladium, which is scheduled to be knocked down in 3 days! At first, you meet star Brady Armstrong, and explore the theater. As you go along, you meet Joseph, the theater's sound man, Simone, Brady's manager, and Nick, the person who wants the R.P. to be a historical site. Also along the way, you uncover some buried secrets, hidden rooms, and more. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone under 10 because it does get scary in some parts, unless they are playing with an older person. This game wasn't very very hard, but it does discourage you sometimes. Well, enjoy! This is an awesome game!
Rating: Summary: Fun and Engaging Review: Ok, Ok.... I am 50+ years old and I bought this game because I like to watch old Nancy Drew movies on TV. This is the first one of these games I have played. The rules are very easy to understand so the game starts very quickly and moves along at a good pace. I am very poor at spatial relations so putting the books back into the drawer and assembling the broken pipes was just plain hard. I still don't have the books in. So there are spots that are just a pain and end up causing a lot of frustration. Why should I be stopped because I am bad at something such as putting books into the drawer? But that doesn't matter at the moment. I have played the game off and on for several days and it is fun. The atmosphere is spooky, the noises are pretty good and the mystery is deep enough to hold your interest. I keep making dumb mistakes and getting killed off, but the game is kind enough to let you keep going with the second chance button. So you don't have to start over time after time. I am certain true hard core game players will think the game is beneath them, but I just want to relax a bit and have some fun thinking about something other than work or responsibilities. This game fills the bill. Interesting and a challenge for me but not something I get all worked up over if I get stuck. The game is filled with what I will call educational material. Whales, nautical terms, et al are built into the game in such a way that reading the information is interesting and part of the game play. A person can get a lot of just fun information about all kinds of subjects playing the game. I don't like to say it is an educational game because that doesn't seem to be the point. You learn this stuff to help you solve the mystery. I think the term educational turns people off. That shouldn't be the case here because the game play and the information are seamlessly tied together. As I stumble along in the game, solving nothing really, I am having fun and as long as I can keep going and gathering clues I am a happy camper. I have ordered the $10.00 guide which should help me extend the game play. The on line help would be a lot better if I was as far along as those players. I get stuck so far down the line that no one even talks about the problems I am having. So I hope the game guide will help. As you can tell, I am generally bad at solving puzzles. I would hope the game writers would put more help into the games themselves but I think they make a lot of money selling the game guides (no mystery there) so they just go ahead and stump people and then the game guide is a sure sell. I think it is a rip off but I guess that is life in the gaming world. I noticed there are a LOT of these games. The series is actually very long. Thus, the games are selling and people like them. They are seldom reviewed on the PC gaming sites, so a person just has to take a chance and buy one to see if they like it. I think you will. Lots of fun.
Rating: Summary: Educational & Fun Review: This is a product designed to get kids to think out the puzzles, and solve the mystery...yet it keeps them coming back again and again for the fun.

Rating: Summary: Disappointment on Deception Island Review: The game was not as good as some of the previous ones. The most boring part was hunting for clams as if they couldn't find anything better or more interesting for Nancy (or me) to do but needed to stretch the time for game play out. I have a bone to pick about games that block you from doing something even though there is clearly something to do there just because you haven't triggered the clue yet that allows entry (i.e. kayaking to the beach area or jumping to the sand bar). Overall the game was ok. I'd like to see more games with female avatars and less violence.
