Neither our 5 year old or 4 year old can beat this game. They have spent quite a bit of time trying to beat it, but eventually scream for me to come in and play it. I can't even beat this darn thing, and I consider myself a fairly good Xboxer. It's way too hard for the younger group, unless they are absolutely a whiz. I'm sure I could eventually beat it, but it can get confusing as to where you need to go or where you're at. It's one game that I constantly try to hide...

Pretty cool

I love Scooby Doo, and when I bought this game I thought it was almost going to be too easy, but I said "what the heck?" Then, I started playing it, and realized it was very challenging, and definately not a game for little kids. There are many level and bosses, and if you are a perfectionist like me and you have to finish 100%, there are many things to collect and find, which keeps you busy. I have this game for PS2, and the graphics are definitely lacking a little, but they still make the game look great. Worth buying.

Lots of Fun

This game has been so much fun. My two older boys are 4 and 6 and they love it. We've played the game over and over from beginning to end. This game has lots of levels and hidden things to find. As you obtain more tools & abilities you revisit levels to get things you couldn't previously. It has little movie clips that they enjoy too. Some parts are too difficult for my four year old, but my six year old has mastered the games harder portions with practice. Like any game, the initial levels are easy and they get harder as you advance. The kids love it and play for hours of fun. Definitely a great buy.

If you don't own this- buy it!

We purchased this game because of our little boy likes Scooby doo. Our son likes to try to play it, he can move Scooby doo around and get scooby to eat scooby snacks but its way too hard for him to actually play and understand this game, although he is almost 4. It is a fun game and my husband and I take turns at it, when one of us gets frustrated with it, the other one will take over and try to get past that stage. Its got a ton of levels, lots of little cartoon clips and you can collect cartoon clips and watch a full length cartoon- very neat! We have'nt gotten 1/2 way with the game yet, but its fun to watch the cartoon clips and all the original monsters are in it. You can collect the monster coins and go into a gallery and see them where they tell you fun facts about Scooby Doo and the Mystery gang. Its a really fun game- it is too hard for little kids, but its fun for them to watch and to try it out and its great for the older kids and parents to play.

too much fun

The truth is, this game is just way to hard for those of us who are not natural born game players. I bought this game for my 4 year old and thought he could learn to play and I would just help him as needed.. instead, I promise you, you will find yourself on the floor with control in hand and 4 year-old cheering you on. (
The point of the game is that the mastermind - up to no good, has kidnapped the rest of the gang, leaving Scooby to search the mansion and grounds for them, while collecting Scooby Snacks along the way. (...) Supposedly, when you get to the end of the game, you will have the whole gang together and the identity of the mastermind will be revealed- but at this point, I really just wish somebody would tell me who the mastermind is and get it over with.
The game is not for the very young to play- though they seem to love watching it played. One of my biggest complaints is the total absence of directions for people who have never played games before. I didn't know the first thing about video games before I played this for the first time- and I almost didn't have the patience to learn. I would recommend the newer Scooby game Mystery Mayhem for the younger ones. They seem to have listened to complaints from this game and have made the new one much easier for new game players.
Good luck-

Fun for all ages.

This game is challenging for everyone, but it *is* OK for some kids. My 5 year old can't get enough of it, and would play all day every day if I let him. He has only gotten about 1/3 the way through the game, though, and then is perfectly happy starting back at the beginning next time. Gives him hours of fun. He's actually developed quite a skill. I (the 30-something Mom) love playing too, but find lack of help at higher levels frustrating. I've gotten about 60% through the game, and have gotten "stuck" without any further instruction about where to go or what to do. This is our first Xbox game, and we have all loved it.

This game is NOT for a child!

This game is so hard for my youngster that he has gotten bored with it after only a short while. There are no real cheats for this game and there is NO easy mode. If your child wasn't born a gammer don't get it.. I did write to the company complaining about this game because it is marketed for small children but is too difficult for them to play.. They could care less! I won't buy another scooby doo game.

very diffucult in first level

My husband bought me this for Christmas. I LOVE Scooby Doo, but find this game very challenging. I am by no means a game player and was looking for something to keep my interest, but at times this game gets so hard that I become frustrated and just want to get to a place to save the game. It stinks that you have to "complete" the level before you save. The sound effects are wonderful, but if at 20something woman has difficulty playing the game...imagine what the 5, 6, 7 year olds would be like.
