 Not bad, but could be better July 20, 2008

I've played a few of the Nancy Drew games and I have to say that this one is not as fun as the other ones I've played. The plot was interesting and I enjoyed the scenery. The problem, though is in the puzzles. The puzzles are not challenging, just tedious. The game also seemed a little rush. There wasn't as much detail as I have seen in other games and it was fairly short. The final challenge was boring and probably lasted less than a minute.
If you like the Nancy Drew mysterys I am sure you will enjoy this game. It's a fun game. It just doesn't rank when compared to previous titles.
 Awesome Game! July 15, 2008

OK. I've played all of the ND games, and though this is not as good as the first ones, it is very good. Here is my review.
The Plot: In this game, you play as Nancy Drew who is working for the government organization called the GdiF. Your goal is to uncover the phantom who has been stealing Venice's valuable artwork. Even though the idea of a teenager working for the government is highly unlikely, you were somehow able to believe it in this game! I would give the plot a 10/10.
The Puzzles: The puzzles in this game were very easy in my opinion. They were not nearly challenging enough. The good thing about the puzzles were that many of them were more like mini-games. Therefore, you can play them over and over. I give the puzzles a hesitant 7/10.
The Characters: The characters were very well developed in this game. They were all realistic and believable. You felt like you knew them by the end of the game.
The Length: This game was just a tad short. Not as short as the previous game, Creature of Kapu Cave, but still pretty short. It only took me 3 days to solve! I give the length a 7/10.
Overall: This game was good. It was almost as good as the first ones, but not quite. If this is your first ND game, I would start with a different one. If you've already played the other games, I think you will really enjoy this one!
Hope I helped!
 Bravissima!!! Nancy Drew!!!!!! July 14, 2008

I have gotten all the Nancy Drew Series. But this is by far the best and most entertaining and educational!! I have been to Venezia and awaited with much anticipation for the Phantom of Venice and I was not at all disappointed but enthused by everything it has to offer. I speak Italian but found the way they had of teaching others was surely one for the books of learning any language with much ease and enjoyment! I look forward to putting my cat suit on and dancing in the club! lol got many boos at first but became a dancing queen in no time and worked har for my euros to get all those Italian shoes!! I was even happy to pick through the debris throughout Venice to earn extra money. (even though Venice is pretty meticulous) I love Scopa!!! A favorite card game of mines and several times played endless games with "Enrico"! The Phantom of Venice was never boring! It had tons of excitement and puzzles that will keep you on your toes. Che` Brava` Nancy Drew!!! Complimento!! Who ever gets this series will love it! I give it 10 stars if I could!! Buon` Fortuna tutti!!!(Good Fortune Every one!)
Another Great Nancy Drew game! July 9, 2008

IF your like me you have probably played all the Nancy Drews games. (some probably more then once) but if not dont worry. The good thing about these games is you can start at any game and not feel like youve missed anything. Nancy Drew and The Phantom of Venice was a great game. I have to say out of the 18 games there are this one is in my top 5.The Story line is very exciting. An elusive phantom is stealing from Venice. He wears a mask and no one can seem to figure out who he (or she!) is! so thats why the police of Venice call on YOU as Nancy Drew to crack the case. Your undercover and ready to uncover all the secrets Venice has to offer. The characters are fun to talk to, the music is new and goes right along with the Venice theme, the puzzles and games are a challenge and the graphics have progressed so much in the last few games. If you cant wait for the game after this one there is a teaser about the next game after you finish this one...But im not going to tell you what it is! Thats something your have to sleuth out on your own!

Although my kids haven't played this particular Nancy Drew game before, I would just like to express how very impressed I am with these PC games. In many cases PC games are overrated. However, in this case these quality games are clean, fun, and well worth the price.
