 A refreshing change! December 2, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a huge fan of this series of video games and recommend them to any teens who like action along with logic. This installment in the series, I found to be especially enjoyable. The setting and graphics were fabulous - who wouldn't love visiting such a gorgeous, archaic ski lodge? The game play itself is also captivating, involving questioning suspects, solving puzzles, completing complex missions, and heart-pounding break-ins. Even the most experienced game players may find themselves stumped, but kids as young as 11 can enjoy this game because of the ample help that is available when necessary. Parents will find this game such a great alternative to the traditional gun-'em-down video games; Nancy Drew incorporates great logistics and brain logic. Educational, exciting, this game has EVERYTHING! I find myself playing it over and over alone and with friends. A suggestion for anyone new to the series - if you find yourself completely stumped, try an online walkthrough (there are tons!) to get yourself over a stumbling point.

This game is really fun with the stuff you do. but the game overall was 4 stars because of the people. I thought they had no personality. That was the only thing I didn't like about this game. But overall it is a good game to play. So go buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Carousel - Way too short and no puzzles! September 17, 2007

If you like the Nancy Drew game series (and I do), there are much better ones to get. There are almost no puzzles to solve and you don't get to go anywhere interesting. At all. A theme park haunted house? Great - lots of potential there! But enter it and all you get to see is a virtually empty room. And it's the same with the roller coaster. I kept thinking the game was going to "open up" to more detail and more places, but while I was waiting for this to happen I followed what I thought was a simple clue and suddenly found I had solved the whole thing. Seriously, I thought I'd missed half the game, but walkthroughs tell me differently.
Don't waste your money.
Calling all history buffs! August 19, 2007

If you love history, this is your game. Seriously. If history class is a drag, you'd be best off skipping this one. However, if you think you can stomach what seems like a 10-hour field trip, feel free to go ahead and play it.
I, personally, am not a history fan. It bores me to tears. If it were not for my determination to play all the ND games, I would've stopped playing. I mean, a mystery in a museum about Mayan culture is bound to be boring for someone like myself.
Another downside to this game was that there's actually no real MYSTERY for the first hour or so, making the first hour even more of a drag than the rest of the game was. I still remember my boss, Joanna, bursting into the room saying, "Beech Hill (the museum) has been hit! Sit tight, Nancy, the police are on their way!" And my sis and I are jumping around going, "YES! We finally have a mystery to solve!"
The puzzles were pretty easy, but there were a LOT of them! Why on earth I had to make my way past three levels of quizzes just to get to a place I've already seen, I'll never know. The only challenging one, I found, was those idiotic audio narrations, which were a bit TOO hard, seeing as everyone in my family confirmed that they were sevens when they were really ones.
They scaryness of this game was limited. Very limited. The only time I even got anything close to scared (I was only 12 when I played the game) was:
1. When one of the NPC's fell down a long flight of stairs and was knocked unconcious, resulting in amnesia and a very LONG hospital stay. I was very attached to this character, and, being the sap that I was, starting crying when I heard him falling down the temple steps and then seeing him on the ground.
2. The ending. I think HI was trying to outshine themselves. Either that, or they were trying to make up for the boring-ness of the rest of the game. If you can't stomach being trapped in an airless space with a half-rotted corpse, you'd best have a partner with you to finish the game for you. That's what I did!
Other than that, there is really nothing else of importance about this game I probably should mention other than the fact that it was long, boring, took me 3 years to finish because I kept stopping and starting, and felt like a field trip. Most of the NPC's were very annoying (I kept wanting to smack this one 'pillowhead'... if you've played the game, you'll know who I'm talking about! If he offered me a stale cookie one more time...) Anyway, if you love history, you'll love this game. If you don't... well... it's up to you to decide if you want to put yourself through hours of pointless puzzles.
Most enjoyable so far!!! August 1, 2007

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
