Featuring brilliant animation and cool puzzle-solving, Scooby-Doo Mystery plays like one of the old-fashioned text adventure games only loads more fun and with a 'point and click' style gameplay.
The game has 2 separate cases. The first is Blake Hotel in which Daphne's uncle has been kidnapped and it's up to Shaggy and Scooby to find him. The backgrounds and environment of the snowbound hotel are very atmospheric and it's loads of fun exploring everywhere looking for clues. Of the 2 cases I prefer this one.
The second case is the Ha Ha Carnival where an evil clown is running loose creating havoc. Shaggy and Scooby must explore the whole amusement park and figure out a way to catch him. It's not as atmospheric as the first but still has great animation. Some of the best seen on the Sega Genesis.
As expected, Shaggy and Scooby are the only gang members who do anything as Fred, Daphne and Velma wander off in one of their usual 'splitting up' manoeuvres. This doesn't bother me as Shaggy and Scooby are what the show is really about anyway.
Scooby-Doo mystery is so vivid and detailed that it's almost like an episode that you control. The only complaint that I can think of would be the rather repetitive music that only gets on your nerves in the second case.
If you can find this game anywhere it is well worth your time and money. Maybe a bit too hard for kids though.
