I am a huge fan of the nancy drew computer games, and when i preordered it i was so exited. When i came i played it untill i beat it. It was very addicting.

One of the favorite things about this gmae was how you could buy food from the hotel. I found this quite fun to do, and i know i sound strange but i did it constantly. In this game you get too- ride the carousel, play the mid-way games, insult the staff(i did this a lot), and of course snoop.

I know this sounds bad, but this game didnt exaclty meet how i thought it was going to be. I actaully found it very boreing at times. But all in all, it was really good.

Waste of money

My daughter loves these games, loves to spend time solving the mystery, finding clues and spending time on the game.

This one lasted a few hours. It practically played itself at the end. It was short enough to have been a demo disk for the real Nancy Drew game.

We have all of the others, which were ok games. Poor, clunky interface, but lots of content. This one had the same interface without the content. No more for us.

Great gameplay, but too short!

The first words that come to my mind when i think about Ghost Dogs is that its far too short! I have played almost all of the ND games, and is it just me, or is HER making them shorter then usual??? Or, the other option is, am i just getting better? Im getting The Haunted Carousel tommorow, because here in Canada its been delayed, which is horrible! I have also heard that that game is also short, and the ending is very unexpected. Anyways, Ghost dogs was a great game, but i thought venturing through the forest over and over was boring, and sometimes confusing! Espesailly taking pictures of those annoying birds! And walking through the whole forest just to get to the graveyard! Uhhh! That was a bit spooky. Also, the very ending came up a bit too quickly, the grid for the map was cool, but then again you get locked in at the end, and that was scary, i had to turn the volume down because of the music! The villian was who i suspected, and it seems that i have always guessed correctly, except for treasure in a royal tower, which is my favourite HER game! It only took me all of three days to beet that game, but i only played an hour a day, so youd say three hours, and thats without a walkthrough. HER, your games are so too good, but also, too short!

Disappointed

I have all the Nancy Drew mysteries...they are wonderfull.Which is why I'm so disappointed with this one in particular (The Haunted Carousel) It does'nt live up it its name, its as if they just whipped this out and depended on its name to sell it. Instead of 20 hours of game play, it should read 4+ hours and 10 and under intstead of 10 and over. Its too simple on senior (can't imagine what its like on junior) ..not at all like its thought provoking predecessors, there is'nt any depth to the plot. What happened to the sluething?

This program stinks! Doesn't work with xp prof.

My daughter, age 10 can't use this because the curser skips at a big delay time. I specifically looked to make sure the program works with xp and it said it does.
I tried to get help from the nancy drew website and it even tells people with skipping cursers to install a new curser driver. This is rediculous.
I've never had a prob with any other programs.
I have XP Professional and there is nothing wrong with my computer, it's the game.
Anybody want to buy it?

This game was okay. It was really short. It had too many puzzles that were very difficult to figure out, but the ending was worth it!

The Least of Nancy Drew

The game is easily the least challenging of the Nancy Drew games (best were Scarlet Hand, Treasure in the Royal Tower, The Final Scene and Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake). The puzzles are too few and too easy, and basically you just wait until a clue or necessary game piece is given to you instead of having to really figure out where to look for it. The ending is a REAL disappointment, especially compared with the more exciting endings of earlier games. And Bess obsessing over Matt calling her is SOOOO lame. Best features are Nancy's new cell phone and the To Do list that can be checked off.

Disappointing Carousel Ride

I wish we had read a review of this game before we had purchased it. Having purchased and played all preceeding Nancy Drew games with my children (where we were very satisfied and impressed with the quality) the Haunted Carousel was a noticeable letdown. Each game claims a minimum of 20 hours playing time and we have found this to be true with the exception of Carousel, which we finished in under 6 hours, at the highest difficulty level. The game contains far fewer problem solving opportunities and too much "help". You can't even wander through the park. I would suggest it only if it's hugely discounted as it is only about one third the playing time and quality level as other games in the Nancy Drew series.

Nancy Drew!

I like all the Nancy Drews I did before (6) but this one was one of the best! The ending was pretty scary! Also everthing seemed to go into the story line. I loved it! It was so suspenful! 5 stars all the way!

This Nancy Drew game is full of excitement when you go to figure out why the carousel is malfunctioning, what's wrong with the roller coaster and decode a series of puzzles to help a friend. This game is great, but short.
