I have 13 ND games, and this one is the best!! This one is full of surprises and adventure.Also,it isn't to easy or hard.And even though you get stuck at times, you'll always find a way out.This game sure beats hunting for clams in Danger on Deception Island and looking for jewels in The Haunted Carousel
 Gets 4 for interface July 27, 2007

I've been playing these out of order, and it took me a while to realize this is #4 in the series, which explained the choppy interface. Some of the camera angles were awkward and this often made it difficult to see where exactly you could go. The cursor in this game is particular. As with other ND games, it changes depending on if you can go right,left, etc. In later games, there is a pan icon. In this one, the pan icon is also the left/right icon, depending on which way you are panning. I had a hard time adjusting to this because I would see that turn icon, click, and think I had made a 90 degree turn, when in fact I had panned slightly to one side. This icon, along with some of the camera angles, also made it difficult in some areas to see that there were other areas to be explored. The cursor was also picky. There wasn't much screen area afforded to the different icons. If I had a left icon, it would be in part of the left side of the screen. If I went too far left, I would fall out of the hot spot. The back (not reverse) icon was also cumbersome. Considering this is one of the early games, and in later games this is fixed, it's a very minor issue, but one you should be prepared for.
Aside from that, game play was great. Again, the puzzles were well integrated into the story. There were a few stinkers that I thought were silly and just there to waste time (the camera comes to mind), but overall, most of the puzzles were well done.
In game hints were well done and helpful. The story line was interesting and there were many secret places to be found and explored, which I thought was a very nice touch and extremely engaging. Overall, I highly recommend this installment of Nancy Drew, just watch that cursor!
Excellent game. July 21, 2007

I am almost 13 years old and I LOVED THIS GAME!!!! The moment you start, you get to solve puzzles and learn a lot about Marie Antonette. The whole mystery is based about her and what happened to her. You get to do so much in this game from getting to go to a secret garden and even getting to sneak into a library that holds many secrets.
I have only played four Nancy Drew games and this is my favorite. The detail is so AMAZING and the graphics are great which many people are looking for these days. I recommend you get this one because you'll have so much fun and it is perfect for people who love doing detective work. It is full of surprises like never before. My friend and I played this one together and we were shocked at the end. 5 stars is perfect for this!
