Amazon.co.uk Review
Amateur detectives everywhere, young and old alike will love the I Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake/I interactive mystery game. Produced by HER Interactive, it invites junior or senior detectives (players choose the level of difficulty) to embark on a mission to become Nancy Drew's eyes and ears, and help solve a mystery. pPlayers are taken to a dreamy summer cabin at Moon Lake and here the nightmare begins. Nancy is informed by the nearby lake's residents that a well-known gangster had lived here long ago with his pet dogs. Howls can be heard. The locals believe the dogs have come back from the grave to protect their master's villainous past. Are the legends true? Or is there a simpler explanation? What about the neighbours--are they telling the truth? What secrets might be lurking in the dark caverns beneath the lake? Don't waste time--you must find the answers before the hounds discover your presence. p Installation is quite straightforward, but as the game is aimed at children aged 10 years and above, it may need overseeing by a more competent adult. On completion, players are immediately invited to choose the level of difficulty and it is a particularly good idea to take advantage of the excellent tutorial session. Here you learn how to navigate, and explanations are also given about different mouse, cursor and arrow commands, with tips being offered about "Hot Spots" and how to view objects. Accompanying the CD-ROM is an excellent pamphlet dealing with all aspects of the game. The language is simple and straightforward and help can be accessed from the menu screen, where useful directions can be found. p Before commencing, it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the Menu screen, particularly the Game Setup option which, on clicking, allows you to personalise the game in the way you prefer to play, changing options for voice, music, special effects, and closed captioning, which when switched on, makes written descriptions appear in the text window for sounds and noises. This is especially helpful as for some the written word, accompanied by the spoken word, is more helpful when absorbing instructions. --ISusan Naylor/I

Okay but nothing special
I wasn't really into this game to be honest. It just didn't have that special ND magic that the other games I've played have. br / br /It came across as being fairly basic with not a terribly strong story line and most of it I found quite dull. Some of the puzzles were good and there were some interesting surprises, but in general it just didn't do anything for me. br / br /

Enjoyed it
One of the better Nancy Drew games, in my opinion. Better put together than the earlier ones, with a nice set of characters. br / br /Had some trouble working out how to get where around the lodge, and the woods themselves can be confusing to the point of irritation, but that may be the fault of my impatience rather than the programme. br / br /Strangely enough, there doesn't seem to be much of a mystery to the storyline, which seems just to get in the way of some fun games. br / br /But an enjoyable game and well put together.
