Great Game, But More Difficult Than Some December 9, 2008
Josh S. (Orange County, CA USA)
I thought the graphics and storyline for this game were great, but I was less satisfied with this title than some of the previous ones I've played.
Positives -
===============================
1. Beautiful "scenery" and easy navigation (for the most part). In other titles, I have sometimes had a hard time making Nancy go just where I wanted, due primarily to poorly placed hotspots and the like.
2. I liked Jane's games, and spent a lot of time just playing them. These are simple games you play either alone or against one of the characters, and you can play them over and over if you'd like.
3. Interesting storyline, if you don't over-think it.
Negatives -
===============================
1. I had to take far more notes for this game than I have before, and that is tedious to me.
2. I thought there were too many timed puzzles and tasks in this game. Maybe I am just too slow, but I had to repeat many of these things (like the typing test) several times in order to move forward.
3. You get very little help from your cellphone friends in this game, and there is also not much interaction with the other characters in the Manor.
4. I thought many of the puzzles were extremely difficult compared to other Nancy Drew titles. This game easily took me three times as long to complete as any of the previous games.
So, the final verdict is that I enjoyed the game and recommend it, but it's not my favorite by far. If someone were to play this as their first Nancy Drew, I fear they may never try another.
 Nancy Drew; Blackmoor Manor November 30, 2008
S. Freilich
In this game, Nancy Drew, girl detective, is over in England at an old castle to check up on her neighbor's daughter, who just recently married. But all is not well. What started out as an innocent visit to an ailing friend turns into a search for a legendary 600 year old beast. Explore secret passageways, solve ancient puzzles and solve the mystery once and for all in Nancy Drew Curse of Blackmoor Manor.
Ok, now that that's done, this game was utterly amazing. once you start, you can't stop. it's like cashews in digital form!
Nancy, a curse and a creepy old manor November 14, 2008
Page Turner
Another day, another mystery for Nancy Drew. In this one, Nancy is leaving the US to visit England and an old friend, Linda who has recently married. Linda is refusing to leave her room for some mysterious reason, and Nancy is there to find out why. You meet several very interesting characters: Ethel, who is Jane's tutor, Jane who is Linda's stepdaughter, and Nigel, an historian who is working on a book about the manor, and Mrs Drake, who lives at the manor and is Jane's Great-Aunt.
This game was very interesting to play, it involved many different puzzles, and adventures to go on. At times I found it very hard to work it all out, but sooner or later you can figure it out! This is one of the scarier games, and therefore I would advise parents to play it with their children, especially if their kids are a little nervous about this kind of thing.
The graphics in the game were very good, and realistic, and the people were fun to talk to and get to know. All in all, it was a good game, though not a favourite of mine.
My favorite Nancy Drew game so far! September 6, 2008
AMB (USA)
This is by far my favorite Nancy Drew game so far, however, I am looking forward to the new release in Oct/November. This game provides very challenging puzzles, and I had more fun playing this game vs (ex:) Crystal Skull. 5 stars!
 Just another Nancy Drew! August 17, 2008
S. Harrington (Texas)
This game was typical of the Nancy Drew series. It was fun, but too easy for us to play.
