I'm 16 and I received this game for Christmas last year and solved it about the middle of Jan. I was so stuck on the part were you have the medallions and Bess and George keep telling you they have something to do with the peep hole but they don't tell you what. Finally I just started over on the junior detective level and when I got to that part in the game again, Ned told me what to do the second time I called him. All I'm saying is that If you just got the game and it's still new to you then you probably want to play the junior level or you will get very stuck. Over all this is a very interesting game and I would say it's one of the best! (Though, The Secret of Shadow Ranch is very close second.)

I wanted this game before, but my dad said it looked boring, because there were only 12 rooms to explore. I found out there were more than that, when I unexpectedly go it for '04 Christmas. I didn't really know if I would like it, but now I found that it is one of my favorite games. Nancy goes to a museum for a short job and runs into robberies and more. It is a great game and I am planning to discuss the buying of another one tonight. The game has great graphics and you will be obsessed quickly. I have learned to listen carefully to what the people have to say, and click on things whenever you can. You may get stumped but keep playing, the game is great!

This is the first Nancy Drew game I've finished. I got this game yesterday at the library and finished it this afternoon. Lots of fun things to do, and plenty of things to keep you busy. I would recommend this to any one who enjoys a good game, and a mystery. Even if their an adult, like me. This is a very enjoyable game.

Pretty good

My only problem with this game was that it was more of a history lesson than a game. You have to read a lot of textbooks. But the castle was really cool and the people were friendly and it had a really good twist ending. Good graphics too.

Great Game!

This is a great game! Now, I'm looking for another because I'm hooked on the games! It's not too hard or too easy, and I love the setting. A great ending, too!

Not the best Nancy Drew game there is

I have been playing Nancy Drew games for over two years and I've now played all seven. "Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake" was not my favorite. In fact, I feel that it could have been better in so many ways. Don't get me wrong. The Nancy Drew games series is great. In each game, you, as Nancy Drew, gather clues, interview people, solve puzzles, explore secret passages, and find the culprits. The games are engaging, fun, and even educational. And they're fun for both kids and adults alike. The first game in the series, "Secrets Can Kill," was well-intentioned but the character graphics (and the fact that you had to switch back and forth between two CDs) left much to be desired. However, after "Secrets," the games began to significantly improve. You would think, then, that by the seventh game, the games would be stellar. Not true. I think they peaked at game three ("Message in a Haunted Mansion") and four ("Treasure in a Royal Tower"). It's almost as if, by game seven, the designers/creators have run out of ideas. I don't mean for the plots -- I mean for puzzles, for character's wisecracks, that sort of thing. Things that move the game along and make it fun. Most every puzzle in "Ghost Dogs" was eerily similar to a puzzle we've seen in a previous Nancy Drew game, the only exception being the one you have to play when Nancy is in peril toward the middle of the game (this is not a spoiler; in just about every Nancy Drew game, Nancy is in peril about halfway through the game.) That puzzle was fun. But the others could have been better. Also, in each Nancy Drew game there is some sort of educational element. You learn things as you go along, from books, computers, newspaper articles, or signs. But in this game, there was a HUGE amount of information on parks on one single computer. Most of this information wasn't even important to the game. Why is it there? Who's going to sit there and read it? With all due respect, I was just slightly bored with "Ghost Dogs." My last complaint (and I really don't mean to sound like a picky grouch; I love Nancy Drew, really, I do) is Nancy's personal data assistant that she carries with her now. She puts all her clues in there. She even carries maps around with her now! One of the most fun things about the Nancy Drew games, for me, has been that you have to write down clues (on paper, in real life), trace maps, etc. If I happen to not notice a clue in "Ghost Dogs," well hey, Nancy (but I thought *I* was Nancy?) has already jotted it down for me. And this was on the senior level! I guess I could just NOT look at the PDA, but come on, it's too tempting. Where's the challenge? I really hope the next game will be better; from the promo, it looks very intriguing. And I *do* have faith in the designers to make this next one a winner. In conclusion, me just say this: if you've never played a Nancy Drew game before, you'd be safe to start with this one, since all the puzzle concepts would be new to you. But it's not the best. Still, if you're a Nancy Drew fan, it's still pretty amusing and so I give it 4 stars.

this game rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 5th grader loves this game. Puzzle solving skills at a girl's interest level. Finally something fun for girls that is challenging and not Barbie oriented.

All Herinteractive games rock!

This is yet another great game for girls by Herinteractive. This game is not only very funny, it's a learning experience. It lets girls solve challenging puzzles, learn about different occurences in history, and the games are very interesting and fun. In the game, you, as Nancy Drew, go to your friend Emily's lakehouse on Moon Lake. These strange dogs, who Emily thinks are ghosts, attack the house at night, which everyone in the area has their opinion about. You'll meet Em, who has a small shop on the lake, Red Knott, a bird watcher, and Jeff Akers, a park ranger. Track down who, or what, is causing these attacks, and discover the truth behind the house's history.

It's OK in my book!

This is the first Nancy Drew game I've ever played,and I do plan on playing some others in the series, because this is a high-quality game, and I'm sure the other games in this series are,too. Any one who is considering buying this game, I say to go for it. It is totally worth your money. But...I did see a few minor problems. First of all, the screen kept on going black, and I kept having to move the cursor around to restore the picture. Also, there was a dialogue error too, when I read a word in the dialogue box, but the character was saying something else. But, I still like the CD, and the people at HerInteractive did a really good job! I actually wouldn't be surprised if boys started playing! I just don't think this one will be my favorite game. But keep up the good work HerInteractive!
