 My Favorite of the Nancy Drew Game Series June 25, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was by far my favorite out of all the nancy drew games. And i've played them all up to and including the new one, number 16. The mystery takes place in a huge castle like hotel, and its so huge i got lost several times. The mystery is focused around Marie Antoinette, her journal and a diamond. You learn alot about Marie Antionette's history while you help Proffessor Hotchkiss, a nutty french historian who spends her time couped up in her room, not leaving even when she claims she was robbed. You meet a famous french skiier, Jaques Brunes, along with a reporter named Lisa and the guy running the place. I think his name is Mr. Eagan. You have to find your way into a locked and half destroyed library, you get locked outside to freeze, and you get hit over the head just as you think the mystery is about to be solved. Its great fun and the puzzles can be stumping. i loved it!

My daughter is 9 and considered "very gifted." It is hard to find books & games that engage her fully, but are not too "adult." The Nancy Drew games are perfect for her. They have many difficult challenges (puzzles to solve, false leads etc), but are also just plain fun; and never off-color or too violent.
She finished "Treasure in the Royal Tower" tonight - the first one she's completed all the way to the end, and all on her own with no adult help and no internet hints! She is so proud of herself. It was definitely a challenge, and it isn't that easy to find things that work on all levels for her.
Hooray for Nancy Drew!
A Great Game June 8, 2007
Nancy Drew, Treasure in the Royal Tower, is a wonderful game that anyone would enjoy! The characters are well thought out. The graphics are very well done and the plot is exciting with many unexpected twists. I enjoyed finding out about the French Revolution and Marie. I'm thirteen now and have been playing Nancy Drew games since I was about nine. This was not the easiest game I've played, but far from impossible. Very, very good game!

Secrets Can Kill had lousy graphics, but I'll forgive them because it was their first game, after all. The plot was good, the puzzles were OK, and it was kind of easy.
Stay Tuned For Danger is one of my favorites. The plot is awesome, the puzzles are great, and the ending is OK. The graphics were good.
Message in a Haunted Mansion is one of the more boring NDs. The plot isn't particularly interesting, the puzzles aren't particularly interesting, and the ending isn't particularly interesting.
Treasure in the Royal Tower was OK. The ending was cool, though, and if you're interested in French history, specifically in Marie Antoinette, then you'll like this one.
The Final Scene was a good one. It was fun, challenging, and the puzzles were good. The graphics were great, even though I really don't think such a popular theater would be so run-down.
The Secret of the Scarlet Hand was fun, educational, and had great graphics. If you're interested in the Mayans, then this is the game for you. I warn, you though, it has a VERY creepy ending... if you're squeamish, then don't watch the ending.
The Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake was the very first ND I ever played, and one of my favorites. The puzzles range from easy to hard in it, so I never got bored. I got stuck, though, and ended up consulting a walkthrough. The plot was great, and the graphics were awesome.
The Haunted Carousel is another one of my faves. The graphics are REALLY good, and this is the game where Her Interactive began providing cellphones. The puzzles are fun, and then ending is fun.
Danger on Deception Island is a good one. I like the idea of the orca and everything. Very good graphics and storyline and OK puzzles. The ending was good.
The Secret of Shadow Ranch was fun. The plot is good, and you get to ride a horse and feed the farm animals. The puzzles were fun, and the graphics were great, and having that phantom horse running around was great. The ending was good, too.
The Curse of Blackmoor Manor is one of my top faves. The puzzles were nice and hard. When you completed a puzzle, you got something for it. Great graphics and storyline. The puzzles were great, even though some of Janes puzzles do get a little trying. I was kind of disappointed on who the culprit actually turns out to be, though, but it's still a really great game.
The Secret of the Old Clock was OK. Since it is supposed to be in 1930, there is no cellphone. The graphics definitely went down. There are no "I feel as though someone is watching me" moments, except for when Nancy scares herself in that secret passageway. The mini-golf was easy, and kind of pointless. Basically, I wouldn't recommend this one.
Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon was good. They introduced a cameraphone in this one. I didn't like the graphics very much, but the puzzles were good. The ending was fun.
So, basically, from STD to CBM, the graphics were great. But after that, they changed the way they made them up, and the graphics really went down.

This game was fun but short. the thing i love is that within the game you have games you must play and complete in order to go further with your investigation. The only thing i didn't like about this game is that nancy's voice is so irritating and annoying like she was on too much prozac. Anyways one part i thought was poorly created was when i had to guess the password for the computer. Realistically all passwords must be one word (no spaces) so i tried everything. Finally i gave up. What do you know? in this game the password contains a space between the 2 words (which is not realistic to real computers) but oh well i just move on. Overall it was very fun to play and im in my mid 20's :)
