Great Game!
I am just beginning to get into the Nancy Drew games. My first purchase was Nancy Drew's Shadow At The Water's Edge which was one of the best games of this sort I've ever played. This game, The Haunted Carousel, was not quite as complex, but very enjoyable to play.
The only thing I did not like is that you were not able to skip the puzzles, you had to do all of them in order to move on. One of the arcade games I hated was the Barnacle game because I am not very good at the shoot-the-targets kind of games using my arrow buttons. Could have pulled my hair out on that one!
Overall, this is a wonderful game to play. I just wish they offered more Trial Games with the Nancy Drew series.

Review from a Nancy Drew Pro
I have played all Nancy Drew games that were ever made and I own all of them, and I can say, after having got the newest one, The Deadly Device, that although the new ones are good too (new interface, and they are a LOT more realistic), the old ones are by far the most fun. My favorite ever is the Haunted Carousel, because it was one of the first ones I'd ever played and the storyline was pretty good, too. I think that if you're a newbie to ND games, you might want to start off with an older one, just because they're much more simple and don't require as much experience. So I totally recommend this game.
That said, though, if you have a difficult time with remembering different tasks in a game that you are required to complete to finish it, I'd recommend you start from ND #13-20. These are the easiest to follow through with. I hope this was helpful with your sleuthing!!!

Good for Beginners to the Nancy Drew Series
This is one of the simpler and older of the Nancy Drew series of games. It's good for a beginner or for someone who wants a less scary game.
On the negative side, the puzzles are not as challenging and the game is not as long as some others I've played. On the plus side, the story is good, with some funny characters to meet and interview.

Too short!!
This game is a classic but sadly not my favorite. I find this game length is wayyy too short, there is very less excitement and scare factor and you basically can't go anywhere but clicking on the map. I got so bored talking to Miles the Memory Machine, he just keeps on talking with no tone. Very boring. The ending ends very quickly with almost no fighting from Nancy. Sadly, again, not my favorite.

IT WAS DEPRESSING!!!!
For an older game I didn't expect a lot of challenge and there wasn't.. I'm trying to play my way through all ND games and just started playing them a couple months ago and was hooked!
Some games are hard, some hard and fun and so on!
The Story with Joy and (Miles The Memory Machine) I'm sorry but it just completely depressed me! They really ruined the game with that story Nancy helps Joy to figure out and remember.
It may not bother other people but I play to escape reality so the last thing I want in a game is to have bad memories pulled up and have my mood dragged down!
Besides that there really weren't any redeeming qualities to the rest of the game either.
Ugh!

A Nice Little Nancy Romp!
This little game was a real romp, and kept you wondering just WHODUNNIT!
There were the usual Drew games which were fun and sometimes a bit tricky to play. And, of course, there were the secret rooms and passageways that are the hallmark of all of the Nancy Drew games.
All in all, this was a very satisfying and exciting game, and another triumph for HER INTERACTIVE and BIG FISH GAMES!
