Dark and dreary

I confess I didn't get very far on this game before I quit and put it up for sale, but I intensely dislike games where you have to go back to an area and finish it after you've acquired additional skills somewhere else. And the camera angles are really bad. It's difficult to position Scooby for jumps and you can't see some areas you think you need to. I went to the mansion, the playground, the fishing village, the vault, and some area that might have been a cemetery and apparently the sun never comes out in Scoobyland because each level was dark and dreary. After I earned a warp power, it turned out there was no place I could warp to. Very frustrating. And you don't have much directional control of Scooby when he's supposed to be swinging on something.

A True Nightmare - Buy a video instead

I own just about every Scooby Doo video available. I think the characters are quite good - Scooby is awesome. Shaggy is great most of the time. That aspect of this game has provided great entertainment for our family.

However, the game itself is a nightmare to play. Due to the crazy perspectives provided (you can't select the direction in which you are looking), certain moves require you to enter a space from a specific angle, then turn in a certain way to move the perspective. If you don't do this exactly right, the program changes your perspective, and you wind up pointing yourself in the wrong direction.

I like a challenge, but significant portions of this game are just plain silly. You will spend hours trying to master the technique, often being required to repeat a minute of the same easy moves over and over just to get one shot at the difficult move. If you are the type of person who enjoys filling a bathtub with a teaspoon, then this game is for you.

Then, after completing a difficult task, you are often faced with another daunting challenge, but you can't save the game until you complete the second difficult task.

If I could remember where I bought this game I would return it. If you want to see Scooby, buy a video instead.

Pay no attention to the reviews written by the employees of the producers of the product.

This game is, in my opinion, terrible. I found it vaguely amusing for the first...five minutes, but after that it was all downhill. The graphics are decent and the controls are easy to learn, but the game just feels like a task. Jump onto this platform, get the scooby snack there, jump on this monster here and Zoiks! What a monotonous nightmare. The levels are in a linear format that is often frustrating and makes some camera angles awkward. Collecting "scooby snacks" gets annoying, and you see the same monsters over and over again. The voiceovers are great, but what good is a voiceover if the game is weak?

People who might like this game:
~Kids just learning how play play video games
~Diehard scooby fans

People who might not like this game:
~Everybody else.

Doesn't work on some gamecubes

With a brand new disc...would have been nice if it worked but it didn't. Apparently some incompatibility exists between certain gamecubes and this game.

THQ acknowledges that and asked me to go to Nintendo. Nintendo says to send in this game AND the gamecube. Will take about 4 weeks.

Luckily, THQ was nice enough to offer me the xbox version to exchange for.

Scooby Doo, It's Fun To Do!

My eleven-year-old daughter received this game as a Christmas gift and I don't know whether she or her dad is having more fun with it!

We all love Scooby! The jumps and tasks are interesting and challenging enough for my daughter and her dad works at mastering all the levels and finding new ways to get the highest score in the least amount of time.

The younger children love trying to make Scooby eat the snacks and jump over monsters.

They all love living out the mystery and as newbies to the GameCube world, we enjoyed this one tremendously!

It's a great gift too!

Pretty darn good game

This game is one of the best i've played for the gamecube so far. It's challenging, has a nice plot, takes a fair amount of time to complete, and has some comical elements as well. Some areas of the game are so challenging they're frustrating, and you'll be so happy when you get through it you'll quickly run to a mystery machine to save the game so you don't have to go through it again. It challenges you to think about how to get some of the monster tokens and some of the scooby snacks. The puzzles aren't super difficult, but they do give a fair amount of difficulty. i really like the cut scenes in the game; they remind me so much of the cartoon and they're cool. The only thing that keeps me from giving the game a perfect 5 stars is that all of the bosses (except for the mastermind) are too easy to defeat. everything else about the game is exceptional. The game is definitely worthy for buying.

Nicely Done

The folks at THQ did a fine job of making this game. You can play it for hours and hours. This is how the ratings go:

Graphics: 4.5/5
The graphics are very nice. They're clean and look very realistic.

Controls: 4.5/5
The controls are very easy to learn and handle. Moving Scooby Doo at times can be difficult, but not to often.

Storyline: 4/5
The storyline is what you'd expect. Scooby and the gang are called to solve a case of a disapperance of Daphne's friend's uncle, the famous inventor Alexander Grahm. The gang splits up. Scooby and Shaggy are together and Shaggy gets kidnapped. Scooby is all alone and thats when you first take control.

Fun: 4.5/5
The game overall is a blast. I'm 12 and it is still a fun game. you have to go to different places and collect monster puppets of classic villains from the show, such as the Creeper and Witch Doctor. It can be challenging at times, but it is worth it. I feel this game is an instant buy.
