Average Rating: Rating: - Ghost Dogs rock.......... I love playing all of the Nancy Drew games, and this game is no exception..... It has intrigue....it makes you think and solve problems......Best of all it is so fun to play.....I loved this game. Where will Nancy take us in her next game....I can't wait !!!... Rating: - Fun way to learn and get freaked out at the same time!!! I thought that this game was pretty difficult and was fun. It was better than the last one, the Secret of the Scarlet Hand, because you didn't have to do those frustrating quizzes and go back and forth around the museum and ask people for information so you can past the quizzes. The new PDA, personal digital assisstant, that Nancy carries around is much more convenient than the laptop, even though the laptop was already a big step in saving paper for notes. You didn't have to scroll ALL the way down to see the newest notes in the PDA and you didn't have to keep going back to Nancy's room to look at your lastest notes either. The puzzles were a little easier and didn't take up so much time to do. This game was pretty freaky and as usual, has it's disasters, like the fire. As for figuring out the culprit, that was pretty easy. Once you've met all the suspects, you can already cross out one. Then when you get in the middle of the game, despite the fact that you might hate one of the suspects for your own personal reasons (at least that's how it was with me), you suspect another that...is obviously made so that you can't suspect that it's that person. I have my own techniques for finding out the culprit. A lot of new things were really cool. I hated how HI used the same graphics for all the rocks. It was very confusing at points. I sure can't wait until the Haunted Carousel comes out!!! All in all, this game was very fun and has a pretty good challenge! Good way to spend your winter break!! Rating: - 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.
