 |
Similar to the other Nancy Drew adventures, you get to step into Nancy's shoes and explore the old lodge to uncover clues through objects you pick up along the way and conversations with the other guests. Things heat up when Nancy learns that the lodge contains an old tower that has been sealed off. You quickly learn that the tower was brought over from France, and was Marie Antoinette's hiding place in her final months before her beheading during the French Revolution. Could Marie's famed treasure be hidden in the tower? Is that why the library was vandalized? And why is everyone acting so suspicious? Why do we love this game so much? The first reason is that it gives young girls an outstanding female role model, the likes of which we haven't encountered in any other kids' games to date. Who else, besides Nancy, is so smart, brave, witty, and adventuresome? The second is that it's hardly dumbed down the way many girls' games are. We're way above the minimum age range for this game (ages 10 and older), but playing in the senior detective mode we were challenged (there's also a junior detective mode for younger players)--it took us hours and hours of thrilling gameplay to unravel the mystery. And yet, it moves quickly and is satisfying enough to keep anyone playing for long stretches. Lastly, Treasure in the Royal Tower gets girls engaged in history. The integration of the Marie Antoinette story and related French history was enough to make us purchase a book on this intriguing royal figure to learn more. Other outstanding things about Treasure in the Royal Tower include gorgeously designed backgrounds and 3-D environments, smooth gameplay, interesting and amusing characters, and the ability to use the Second Chance feature and go back to right before you made a fatal mistake. You can also tap into the minds of young women around the country on the message boards on the Her Interactive Web site. If you're ever stuck, you can ask this knowledgeable audience for hints or clues that might help you out of a jam. We could go on and on about all the great surprises and twists in this game, but that would just spoil the plot, wouldn't it? Why don't you just check this one out for yourself... we really can't say enough good things about it. --Ara Jane Olufson User Submitted Nancy Drew: Treasure In The Royal Tower ReviewsDate: 2008-11-07 A fun, enjoyable game I bought this game, not having played the Nancy Drew games before. I'd read the books as a child, and the games are good extentsion of that. This game was fun, and enjoyable. It has a good storyline, lots of puzzles, and quite good graphics. It wasn't easy to complete, took a week or so, but I had fun while I was working out the puzzles, and exploring many parts of the Nancy Drew world. I would recomend this to anyone who enjoys computer games, especially girls. Date: 2008-10-30 My Review This game is my fav one out the ones i've played. Their parts that make you jump, but in every nancy drew game there is. The bad guy was wow you would not the it was him/her. IF its your first game to get it might be creepy. I give it a 10. Its a good game Date: 2008-09-18 AWESOME!!! This was the first ND game that I've played, but it was AWESOME!!! The graphics, plot, puzzles, etc. were all really great. I especially liked the ending scene. It was packed with action and wrapped up the game really well. Overall, it was just a great game! Date: 2008-08-27 Really liked the game! My daughter really likes this game! There's a lot to do within the game sequence - there are mini-games within the story that are fun additions. Many hours of problem solving skills disguised as fun! Date: 2008-07-20 Nancy Drew Ghost Dogs Moon Lake A good standard in the Nancy Drew pc mystery games. Not quite as exciting as some of the others, ie: Haunted Mansion, Secret of the Crystal Skull but still a blast to play along side your sleuthing 10y/o daughter.Not as complicated as Scarlet Hand but harder then say Creature of Kapu Cave. We love them and are down to our last two to purchase.
