Not the best Nancy Drew game

My sister and I have finished every Nancy Drew game we have except this one. First, I couldn't find the Red-Tailed hawk. It was very hard to get the dog statues in place, and it was hard to learn how to run the boat! The boat blew up the first time I tried it!!! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT COULD DO THAT!!! I rate this game about 4 stars.

as expected

This game is like all the other mystery games. You need to find the clues and interigate people. I have always enjoyed the Nance Drew Series. This is not my favorite but it was ok. My daughters enjoyed this one more. The clues are easier for them to figure out.

Cool game for kids

This game is great for kids. I play it with my 7 year old. Some of the puzzles are a little hard for him, so we work as a team to solve them. It moves the game along and gives us some mom and son time together.

The butler didn't do it this time.....

This is the most challenging ND game I have played! I finished it, but I actually started over three seperate times because despite my fervent note taking, and the checklist on Nancy's laptop, I was still coming up short on clues! I did eventually solve the case and as usual, it's always the person you least expect. The plot line was so twisted and the gameplay was so long and winding that I was beginning to think that I would never get to the end. There are so many seperate parts of this game that depend solely on what you've done beforehand. I enjoyed this because it took me so long to solve and the extent of thinking I had to put into it just to get to the end, and the ending itself was a surprise too.

At last! Nancy gets to relax while staying with George's friend, Katie Firestone,(a marine biologist) on her boat in Snake Horse Harbor. Hmm, the mystery is - what? It seems that a mysterius orca has showed up- where is she from? Katie seems to be getting on everyone's nerves-she's the only one alowed to go near it! That must hurt Andy Jason's buisness! He gives whale watching tours- but he can't get near the whale! Holt Scotto is a fisherman-and he's losing mmoney becasue he can't fish near the whale! Jenna Deblin just doesn't like Katie-she thinks the whale should just be left alone! You have a cellphone and can call Bess and George, the HArdy Boys, and various people whose phone numbers you pick up later. You ride a bike to get to places-if you don't wear your helmet, watch out! Don't worry, Nancy just clicks on where she wants to go and you're there. (Not like in the Secret of the Old Clock, which was annoying.) I have to say, though, that this game isn't as fun as the others. It just seems like there isn't much to do! Theh hardest part was the end. I liked digging for clams, but it got old after a while. Too many secret passages (the one in the cafe I got lost in a lot of times, believe me) and the puzzles you had to do for the old lady (who you can only talk to by phone, you don't actually meet her)? Bor-ing! It seems like whenever you were getting somewhere, there was another hard, boring puzzles you had to solve. I guess the first time I played it, I liked it- but it's not one of the Nancy Drew Games that you want to play over and over again. Nice idea- but it doesn't seem like a good setting for a mystery, besides it being cold and foggy. The good part is, you'll be kept guessing who the culpirit is- I had no idea!
Characters:6-7 They weren't all that interesting, in my opinion! It wasn't evident what part they played in the mystery! Besides being mad at Katie Firestone for various reasons, they didn't do all that much!
Graphics: 8 Not bad, though definatley not as good as the newest games. As always, the settings were more realistic than the characters. The water and islands were very realistic. At least it was all 3-D.
Mystery: 6 Not a great mystery. Everyone is mad at Katie Firestone because her being near the whale hurts all their buisneses in some way. So, someone vandilizes Katie's boat. And what's with the new orca? Seems it doesn't belong to a pod. Ho-hum.
Gameplay: 7 Not too bad. Takes about 2 weeks to finish, playing about 2 hours per day. Maybe a week and a half. Depends on your skill. I loved kayaking- unfortunatley, it's hard to see where you are going and often you go around in circles. Plus the GPS was SO annoying! It takes forever to put in the coordinates and then go to them! "OK, on arrow oforward and we're there- no! Wait! What happened? OK, go back one- no! I mean, U-turn! No! Wait! What? Oh, are we there? Hey- wha- no, you idiot! We're back at the boat!" sigh. You get the idea.
Worth your money? If you like puzzles and oceans, this game is for you. If you'd rather keep your feet on the ground-don't buy this.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!

This game was awsome! It was the first Nancy Drew game Ihad ever played, but it was one of the most amazing games I've played yet.I played this game abuot 2 years ago, and have solved 5 other Nancy Drew games since. The graphics were sooooo amazing, it felt like you were in the game. Their were twists,turns, and suprises around every corner. Sometimes the hints her friends gave you were of no help. If I got stuck to where I absolutly didn't no what to do next I got online and got on the website[...](UHS=Universal Hint System). They helped waaaay more than Walk-through hints. These hints can help with any type of game you need hints on.

A Great Game

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!

Great game!

This is a really good game. There are alot of puzzles to figure out and characters were realistic. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it was a little too much like you are in a history class about the Maya but everything else about the game was great! I would definatly recommend you get this game!

Wonderful!

I have played all the Nancy Drew games and each game gets better and better! Treasure in the Royal Tower is mysterious, historical, funny, and fun. The game is set in Wisconsin, but there is a 'royal' tower there. The man who built the castle had Marie Antoinette's tower imported from France. The characters can be humorous and Nancy's replies are amusing and can be focused on the case or even flirtatious. There are dangerous situations and the graphics are wonderful. I absolutely recommend Treasure in the Royal Tower!
