The gameplay is exactly right: intriguing, engaging and challenging, without being frustrating. The game is long enough, and not too long. The interface is good, although the inventory access still needs improving. The puzzles are great, the mini-games are great...it's a great game.
Blackmoor stumbles only when it forces you to play annoying mini-games, like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle within a time limit.

After a long day of working out at the gym, drinking beer, and watching football, nothing compares to the thrilling adventures of Nancy Drew. Me and my buddies get a kick out of solving mysteries in between workout sessions, while the wife makes us some delicious steak. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is tired of all the sissy games that are on the market these days, and is looking for some true, bone-chilling, action.

The story is fun and woven together well and puzzle-wise it's the best ever, even with the mini games and timed components that might frustrate some players.
Solid addition to the series and likely the best Nancy Drew game of them all. For those who crave a few evenings of gaming where charm, good looks and diversion come first, this is a definite buy.
The puzzles were challenging, the various ways to end my visit were hilarious, and the minigames added an extra bit of diversion and fun to the game. While the game may be a little difficult and scary for those at the low end of the age requirement, I think the 12+ group will have fun with it. I know that I did.
Creepy, glowing red eyes, odd rituals, and other suspenseful items seem to be aimed toward a bit more mature audience than the average Nancy Drew reader, and the title’s E rating (compared to the much more tame Danger on Deception Island’s T rating) confused me even more.
My third ND game, and by far the best of the so far, and top mark within this genre in general (others were Malloy Castle which was just OK and Haunted Carousel which was quite good but short and fairly easy). But this one easily beats both in terms of puzzles and having your mind being stretched. And for length of game play it is decent too, this will not be solved so quickly as the others. For a 2004 game, it stands up really well in 2012, which is impressive, kudos to the game makers. I'd highly recommend this to kids (9+), noting that they may need help with it, and to adults of all persuasions, a very good example of old-style point-and-click puzzle games when they were done well. I also liked that it tries to obey real time as well, very rare trait in games. The only (-1) was really the forgettable music, which the other games did better but this one falls flat. Ignoring that, a great and addictive game to the end.
