**SPOILERS** so i thought the story was pretty good seen the monster is exciting. the characters are likable too. When you see the monster in the castle you start to freak out and when it jumps out at you then when you realize Lukas was in the monster costume you think you just finished the game and caught the monster but then you see the real monster right after that so you know hes not. i dont like the ending cuz its just guessing who the monster is. but i like the castle and the pranks Lukas would do. the puzzles are hard in this one though.

This is a really great game! Is NOT a let down. Puzzles aren't as boring as some other ND ones. Spooky setting! I love almost everything about it and the accents are pretty good. Creepy! I was not expecting that ending! Plot twist here and there - which just made it more exciting! My only complaint is that the woods are a bit confusing and so is the house you stay in. One of the puzzles took me a while though... But they should! Very nice game!

Overall, this ND wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It was boring (I'm so sorry, I usually love ND). The plot and the secluded setting definitely made me want to stop playing because I was doing the same things again and again. The pace is slow at the beginning and all in all, there isn't much to do.



The gameplay was quite good, and the puzzles were ok, albeit quite easy. The plot was pretty good throughout the game but there were definitely plot holes and the ending was completely unsatisfying. The monster is also the least scary thing in the world. There were too many loose ends at the end of the game, and all the beautiful subplots about the missing girls were just tossed aside at the end. Also, you could tell who the villain was pretty much halfway through the game so that's disappointing.



Also, the setting was so limited, I think. You just wandered around the small castle and there wasn't all that much to do outside or in the secret tunnels. If you like spooky ND games, this one is not for you (apart from the darkness of the secret tunnels setting, it's not spooky at all).



And the game was so short! I'm just disappointed the entire game seemed to happen over the course of one evening and in one setting. That's it. The one redeeming quality of this game was that the voice acting was great, as usual. Also, the history lessons are quite cool. It's unfortunate it all seemed to be tossed aside at the end for a predictable ending.



This was definitely not my favorite ND game, for sure. Oh well.

I LOVE this game. This is one of my favorite games. Nancy is in Germany at Castle Finster, there's a monster on the loose and Nancy's on the case!



A castle, in Germany....need I say more?



A nice spooky atmosphere, all the characters are great, play Raid with Karl, explore the dungeon and the tunnels. Get lost in the woods and go down the wishing well. There's nothing I dislike about this game...no wait...I wish it were longer, but other than that, perfect!

This was totally a throwback to old ND games! I recently rediscovered the games and have been playing the newer ones but had skipped over this one. This is by far one of the best ND games I have ever played (new and old). The graphics are gorgeous and the plot is amazing! The puzzles were just the right amount of difficulty and the ending was so unexpected! I honestly had NO idea who it could be on this one-everyone was equally as likely. All in al great game.

I really do enjoy this game. One of the things I have always liked about Nancy solving mysteries in different countries, is the fact that us players get a good history lesson. However, we also know that you pretty much have to read through the dialogue so clues are not missed. That one detail makes for a very slow start to the game. Even though the dialogue is pretty useful in solving the mystery, I also think that they did not have to try to cram all that history into our brain at the start of the game. That being said, once you are able to investigate without interruption, the game picks up the pace (so don't lose hope :D).

I had skipped this one for a while, and had played all of the newest games and my last two that i hadn't played yet were captive curse and deadly device. The shattered medallion was not one of the best *cough cough* but this game was a revival of my never ending love for these games! Absolutely fantastic. It kept my hypothesizing through out the whole game and I thoroughly enjoyed it all 🙂

I can't believe how awesome this game was! It is my favorite game of all 31 games. I love Germany, it was a great idea to place it there. If you haven't played it yet, you should!

This is one of my favorite Nancy Drew games and one that I could play over and over. One of the best things I love about Nancy Drew games is the plot. The plot is very engaging, it keeps you guessing and on your toes on who the monster is.

There is also lots of places to explore, I was confused at first but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun.

The characters are also fun and each have fun personalities.



Overall the puzzles are not to hard and the plot, places and characters are fun. If you're a first time Nancy Drew player, I would start with this!

Of all the Nancy Drew games released to date, The Captive Curse is the one I play the most! The characters are very entertaining and have some pretty great lines.The back story is a little spooky and fits the theme of the castle nicely. This is by far my favourite game.
