I scored with this!

So I purchased this used and got a brand new two for one version so I got this and the shadow ranch Nancy Drew games I'm super pleased with this

One of my favorites!

I think people are concerned that because they're based on children's books, the games won't be enjoyable to an adult audience, but as a 20-something, I can tell you that is not true! The Curse of Blackmoor Manor has been one of my favorite Nancy Drew games since it came out. It's definately one of the more creepy ones, and Blackmoor Manor has to be one of the best settings for a mystery. This game was a bit more challenging than some of the others, but the game does offer different levels of difficultly on which to play. The story was exciting and interesting.

This game is so much fun! We're not done quite yet but this is ...

This game is so much fun! We're not done quite yet but this is a great installment in a very good (overall) series. It is pretty hard at points: I recommend playing with someone else. Sometimes two heads are better than one in figuring out a puzzle. My strategy is to play until we reach a frustrating point and then stop. Sometimes time away will bring a new perspective. I'm by no means a novice at this type of game but this one keeps me challenged and interested. Can't wait to find out what's really going on.

One of the harder ones

This is one of the harder Nancy Drew games but still a lot of fun to play...you do need to pay very close attention to everything you find.

Hard but Fun!

I am surprised at the number of mediocre reviews for this splendid game.I loved it! I am rather amused at the "10 years old and up" on the cover..they had probably no idea that "up" in one case at least is aged 76, me- and that's really up. The graphics are very fine. The puzzles are hard and you are obliged to play several games with the little girl in the story, Jane, in order to obtain certain tools to proceed. These games within the game did get a bit tedious, but I am was hopelessly slow at "Petroglyph Punch" and the like. And it took me five tries to gather up 13 ghosts milling around the manor. When something is timed I panic. I'm like my cats who vanish if I even look at the door where the vacuum cleaner is kept. The voice acting is very good, and if the British accents aren't authentic, so what. The images of the characters are very well done, the gestures and mouth synchronization very natural. Mrs. Drake is particularly good, she's rather like a watered down version of Mrs. Danvers. I could not have finished this game without the help of a walkthrough. The puzzles are hard. But the fact that I always cheat like mad doesn't bother me ar all and I never have felt that the game is spoiled one whit with the heavy use of a walkthrough. If you can finish this game without assistance, more power to you. But take it from an old lady- this game is fun and if you have to sweat a bit here and there, that's part of the whole adventure game enchilda.

very intriguing...i like...you cant stop, once you start..

i have played the game awhile...i am not even half done..very interesting...lots to do in this game...again you use the phone to use the web and call many people that you need to talk to...the puzzles are very intense...mind boggling, but if you think about what is going on it's a piece of cake... love the manor...the people you meet and interact with are unique...l am enjoying this game so much...lot of twists and turns...i wont let no secret out..it a game you have to get to understand how the mystery goes.... oh one thing i must tell...you get to use the house phone and call the local pub/diner to order food...the story takes place in england...so things are sooo different..i have ordered everything on the menu...remember bangers and mash...are not hotdogs and fries... simiular tho.... i know people who buy this game will enjoy...it's a must have...well worth the dollars i spent... package was great...product tightly sealed and protected...no damage what so ever...yes i did get it a day early..... i cant wait to finish...this is not just for young adults...i am 53 and love it.....

Blackmoor Manor was one of my favorite Nancy Drew games

Blackmoor Manor was one of my favorite Nancy Drew games. I just recently bought it because I forgot what happened through the game and I wanted to refresh my memory. I think the story line is amazing and for being an older game, the graphics are very interesting. Pros: there are characters from all ages so you can get a glimpse of everything. I love how it is based off of a myth. I know some people don't find this as a plus but at the beginning when it stated what you are doing and why it is a mystery, you probably had no explanation for what was going on. At least I didn't. I loved how Jane made you play the games with her and they weren't tedious except a few. The games were actually fun to play. The parrot was a nice touch to an already fun and interesting game and soo many more that are too long to explain : Cons: Some of the puzzles were difficult to understand and you needed many hits and walkthroughs the ending was not what I expected at all Overall the game was amazing and I loved it

I highly recommend it to adventure game fans

One of my favorites in the Nancy Drew series. I highly recommend it to adventure game fans. Love it!

Another Hit By Her Interactive!

This one is sooooo good! We love ALL the Her Interactive Nancy Drew games - and this one is no exception! My daughter found this one less scary than Shadow at the Water's Edge (which gave her serious phobia of entering bathrooms bc of something scary in the game). So, I was very happy to note that this game had nothing too terrifying, but it was still very mysterious. Definite recommend!

Tough one

It must be me, I have lots of trouble with the Nancy Drew series. I am always on the other computer looking at walkthroughs. Makes me feel pretty dumb, but I do love a challenge and maybe these are just what I need to keep me from getting dumber! I love the little games you can replay and replay along the way. I will keep at them as I do love the gameplay, maybe someday I will be able to finish without "cheating"
