Surprising
At first, when I read the reviews, I scoffed at the fact that some found it so scary. Until I actually played it. Things were great when I was in the light, with my little cousin and sister playing with me. But then I got sick, and they all went out to dinner. So, I decided to play CoBM. Bad idea! I got to the part where you wake up and see the paintings moving around, then go to the window and see the beast.

Terrified, I shut the game off and ran into my room. I never played it alone after that. But I did like the challenge of it. I had an awful time trying to figure out how to get under the well. A walkthrough helped with that. I also liked the ending, since you end up having to save the culprit.

A good game if you're thirteen like me and playing with the light on. And have family members around.

Aggravating
I have played many of ND games and I found this one to be the least amount of fun. The puzzles are extremely tedious and time consuming. This particular ND game is more focused on the puzzles than on the mystery itself. I became so overwhelmed with the aggravating and difficult puzzles that I didn't finish the game. This game is impossible without reading a walkthrough to get through it.

Get your "walkthrough" ready
So far, after playing about 5 Nancy Drew games this is my least favorite due to the obvious difficulty of it. The story line is great and this should have been one of the best games in the series but they made it so difficult and put in too many "red herrings". If you play this game, it is much more fun to have the walkthrough printed so you can follow along during the many impossible puzzles. It is also the longest Nancy Drew game I played so far. Her Interactive needs to understand the difference between being "fun" challenging and "boring" challenging as this game was at many times. Not a waste of money but should have been much much better.

Pure Entertainment!
The Curse of Blackmoor Manor offers hours of investigative fun and challenge. The game plot is intriguing and plausible--very well written. Graphics are unbelievable! The puzzles within the game that are presented to the gamer are extremely challenging, but workable. A support system is available on-line with Her Interactive. Some portions of the game are perhaps too scary for young players. Parent supervision would be adviseable.
