Her Interactive has not broken its streak of producing mediocre games with this game. The game play is boring and tedious and you can enjoy very little character interaction. You spend most of the time running around doing meaningless errands and solving pointless, random puzzles, which frankly aren’t that enjoyable. And at the end, you discover there were no culprits. Your snooping leads to the groom and the couple live happily ever after. There really isn’t even a love trangle or much drama incorporated into the story line. It seems that the only thing HI has going for it these days is its outstanding graphics. However, they have lost their edge in developing compelling, creative, engaging story lines which keeps you wanting more. I suspect they fired or somehow parted ways with their gifted creators and have brought on board substandard talent who are producing these mediocre games. Save your money. If you are curious about the game, you can see clips on youtube, which include a walkthrough and even the ending.

I have been a Nancy Drew fan for about five years. To me this game is one step above “The creature of kapu cave.” Which is not saying a lot. My review will be spoiler free until I talk about the ending.
graphics- The graphics are amazing! They just get better and better!
The puzzles- Have you ever played “Curse of Blackmoore Manor?” The puzzles are a lot like that. Just looking at them, you think…well I’m going need a walkthrough with this one.
The characters- There is a grand total of three! There is the victim who just sits there reading the whole time. Theres the handy man who does nothing but sit in the bar and talk about “faries”. Then theres Kit, the grooms best friend. The most useless characters in the whole Nancy Drew series.
The ending-(spoliers)
The ending was dumb! It was SO easy! We meet 1 more useless character, Matt, the groom! He tells his story, and then stops talking! Everytime you try to talk to him, he tells you he doesn’t feel like talking! For the end you just have to build a rocket! The hardies part is putting the wires together. It turnes out that there is NO Culprit! I didn’t like that at all!
Thats all for now!

I enjoyed this game very much. I have played all of the Nancy Drew games by Her Interactive. The last few games I played felt rushed and I did not enjoy them as much as previous games. The Haunting of Castle Malloy goes back to the original fun of the earlier games. The story line was great and did not feel rushed. The puzzles were fresh, new, and challenging. These games are great for all ages. I anxiously await the next one.

This game was MUCH BETTER than the Phantom of Venice. A lot of fun puzzles and figuring out the mystery. I have all the Nancy Drew games and this one is one of the best!

I could not get this to work on my computer. I just got the blue screen of death repeatedly. Very frustrating. I gave up and also did not bother getting the next one(Ransome of seven ships) since I must not have the capability on my computer which is four years old. My granddaughter and I play these when she visits so I was very disappointed.
