frustrating for little kids

My son wanted this because he is a big Scooby Doo fan, however, he was very disappointed with the game. The problem is that you have to be able to read and understand the clues given in order to play the game. He just started kindergarten and can not read yet. This may be a great game - I'm not sure. But if your child can not read then I would not recommend this game.

Too Hard for Kids!

My six year old found this game to be very frustrating and too hard. He also did not like having to switch back and forth between the characters.

Good game for alittle while but then gets boring

This game is one of those games where you like it for a couple of hours or mabyee even days, but them drop the game and never play it again because it gets so boring and usless. You just want to get rid of them game and sell it one ebay or something just to get it away from you. I do on the other hand recomend it for the youngsters. They will like this game for a long time. When i say youngsters i mean seven years old and below.

Good for the first time, but afterwards it's pretty boring

I would have to agree with reggi12398's review and say that this game is pretty good for older games for the first time because it's really challenging, but after a while the game becomes too short and boring. Now when I play it, it only takes me an hour to finish it. I recommend it to players 12 and under, the will find this game really great. Those over will enjoy it first, but will get tired of it later.

Amazon Product Description is Wrong.

If you have read the Amazon Production Description above, let me tell you that it is completely wrong. You do not encounter the Black Night Ghost or any of the others. It's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" case that Scooby and the Gang are working on.

And I agree with the other reviewers. If you can not read, this is not a very good game. Basic reading ability is required to fully enjoy this game. Also, this game does not work with the Nintendo D.S. system, which made my daughter very dissapointed. So, we had to go out and buy her a Nintendo S.P., which made her happy again.

So, if you like Scooby Doo and are under the age of twelve, this is a very good game for you to have!

not sure it's for 5's

We just got this game and it seems like there is a lot of reading involved. Not sure if it will be one of my 5 year old's favorites.

Not what I thought

This game has great graphics and looks a lot like the classic cartoon. The only thing is you only solve one mystery, the one with Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, and its really easy. This would be great for kids, otherwise its too easy.

What a blast-it is so nice to see some refreshing gameplay for the Gameboy. "Scooby Doo Classic Creep Capers' is very similar to the old classic "Maniac Mansion"-which was the best NES game ever. Anyway one you select your character, you snoop your way around an old mansion in search of a ghost/thief.The graphics are really super and the animation is top notch. You can see the tiny lips of the characters move-a cute little thing. The gameplay is very similar to "Maniac Mansion"-you walk around picking up object to use in a certain situation. The game really may appeal to younger kids, but it may be too confusing for them. The art of sleuthing is too complex and may leave some kids popping in the next Pokemon. Older kids and adults will find this a good title.Although it does have many similarities to the fore mentioned "Maniac Mansion" it lacks the depth of that game. You are, for the most, part allowed to roam the house uninterrupted, which seems a little anti-climatic. Also a big downfall is that the game itself is way too short. It may take a good gamer only a few hours(I am taking one of two) to beat it. That makes the gameplay feel incomplete and rushed.In the end "Scooby Doo..." is a welcomed addition of the Gameboy aresenal. The characters are cute and the story is very Scooby-ish-give it a try and find out for yourself.

Nice Role Playing Game

I definitely DISAGREE with the other reviews that state this game is for the younger crowd. I would say this is more for the 7 and OLDER crowd. Theres lots of reading and skills of observation and problem solving are required. This game takes patience, it does not provide instant gratification. The first couple chapters seem straight forward enough but the game definitely increases in difficulty as the game progresses. Great graphics too! Overall, Scooby fans and role playing fans should be pleased.

Great for Gameboy

If you are a Scooby Doo fan, then you need to add this to your collection. It is a very fun game for the Gameboy system. Not too difficult to the point of frustration. To me, a game should be fun and challenging, not frustrating like some games, and this game will challenge you without the frustration. If you are looking for a nice game for a child, young adult, or yourself then I would recommend this for your Gameboy.
