Summary: Great Fun
Comment: Loved this Nancy Drew mystery. Fun and challenging puzzles, Nothing tedious or repetitive. Kept me on the edge wanting more.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very creepy!
Comment: This Nancy Drew game was very good, but very creepy. Everything was dark and the rainy atmosphere sent shivers up my spine! Every character seemed to be hiding dark secrets. The puzzles were very challenging and I loved the graveyard riddles. The graveyard is very spooky, and the house is filled with shimmering candles that make for very, very creepy atmosphere! Another super cool feature is you can switch back and forth between Nancy at the mansion and Bess in the heart of New Orleans. It was very fun sampling gumbo and sneaking into secret meetings as Bess, although I wish there were more things to do in New Orleans and more background info.
I really felt sorry for Henry, he seemed depressed and needed to get rid of his nasty girlfriend! The mansion seemed unfinished and only has a few rooms, a living room, office, the housekeeper's bedroom, a secret room, and a tiny bare bedroom(if Henry lives in that tiny cell I wouldn't blame him for being depressed!!). We can only hope that there are whole suites of rooms we aren't allowed to explore.
Even though it is a very fun and challenging game I wouldn't recommend it to younger players because of the extremely spooky atmosphere.

Summary: Pretty good! Creepy and Intriguing
Comment: Take the advice in the beginning. Play this with the lights off, and Halloween is coming up, it's a great day to play it (I've tried it on Halloween, it was terrifyingly great.)
This game is another great addition to the ND series, and HerInteractive did it justice. It's set in New Orleans, in an eerie mansion and a great mystery to solve.. Time for Nancy to get endangered and solve another mystery again!
Pros
-Gets spookier as it goes along
-Pretty good graphics, not the best, but still pretty good (HerInteractive is great at it.)
-Great characters (I personally love Henry)
-Keeps you at the edge of your seat
-Still has your notebook
-No need to worry about time or going to bed by your bedtime! You don't see your own bed once in the game.
-SO much better music than its predecessor, Icicle Creek (IC didn't have much music at all in fact.)
-Your cell is back and perky! You can call anyone, anywhere (almost.)
Cons
-Puzzles were OK at best. I like puzzles, but honestly? There's a part in the game where you have a string of difficult puzzles! I got lazy in the middle and used a walkthrough, and gave a sigh of relief when I had something else to do. Then again, if you like that kind of thing, this is a good game for you.
-I generally don't like those games where you switch back and forth between Nancy and some other person. This is one of those games. Bess is alright, but... I just prefer to keep Nancy as the main character you play, rather than add more people.
-(Don't worry, no spoilers here.) The ending is kind of unsatisfying. The final chase is mediocre, at best, and before that was a weird matching puzzle. Of course, it's always scary to be running away from someone and having to get a few second chances (in Shadow Ranch, my hands were shaking...)but in the end, it's SUPER satisfying when you beat the game. This one was kind of like... Old Clock, or Danger by Design in it's ending type. Nothing that gets your heart beating too fast... it's kind of unfitting, when the other parts of the game were pretty scary at parts.
Conclusion
Overall pretty good, but some things that don't satisfy me at least. Good for a scary game if you need one, and is quite a bit different from some of the other ND games. Nice one, HerInteractive.
Thanks for reading!

Summary: Did not work with my computer
Comment: I know they say it works with XP, but it really doesn't. I think those who have XP have to get an updated video card before playing this game. The newer mysteries won't work on one of my computers. The older mysteries work.

Summary: More Than I Expected
Comment: I have every Nancy Drew game, because I think they are really interesting! The Legend of the Crystal Skull ended up being much better than I originally thought. It gives you a good feel for New Orleans and the tasks are actually fun. The only one I did not like was the riddles with answers on gravestones. They were beyond me! This game is great for kids and adults!
