I bought this for my 5 year old grandson. He loves playing this game at my house and it gives us a great opportunity to do something together. Yes, there's a little violence, but no blood/guts/gore. Scooby throws pies at bad guys to make them disappear so you aren't "killing" anyone. Great for thinking through the paths you have to take, good hand/eye coordination and he's picking up a bit on reading skills from the very simple instructions. I bought this game used, no reason not to - it's not like they wear out. The only think I don't like about this game is the commercials at the beginning of the game for other games; if the game was free I'd watch commercials but I don't think you should have to be subjected to them for things you pay for (IMHO).Read full review
I found this title at a Salvation Army store, and since I always enjoyed Scooby Doo as a kid, I bought this game. Being a kid's title, I expected it to be easy, or at least easy enough to blast through...but boy was I ever wrong! Only the first 2 levels are easy. After that, the difficulty spikes up! Here's the main things that make this game far too hard to enjoy... (1) The controls. This game has tons of platforming and the jumping is a mess. (a) In order to make a proper jump, you must begin walking a tad BEFORE the jump. Otherwise the jump will be extremely short and fall into the pit. (b) If you steer right or left during the jump, you will no longer move forward and will move to that side at the same rate of speed. Expect to keep going too far over! (c) You're always jumping towards the back, so expect to keep making jumps too far and too short--over and over and over again.... (2) The boss fights. They're all extremely difficult, as you don't move that fast and there's no turbo or running in this game. Worse yet, most of the bosses have instant kills if you're standing in the wrong place (and there's no way to know either--just keeping fighting that boss over and over and over again until you get lucky). (3) Platform detection. You safely land near the edge of the platform and your instinct is to walk back towards the middle. Nope, you fall through the platform to your death! Only jumping back works, making this a difficulty that shouldn't have been! (4) Auto-moving forward mini-games within the levels. As this game isn't difficult enough! Expect to bobsled off the edges! A skateboard level where there's no way to slow it down--just kamikaze into all of the hazards! Oh, did I mention that this is a kid's game LOL (5) Limited lives. This isn't Super Mario! It's far too hard, even cheating with unlimited lives with a GameShark--yes, that's the only way I was able to make it to the last level :( As an adult, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The nostalgia and cuteness of Scooby and Shaggy is quickly forgotten from the frustration of this game. I'm selling this game off and, by the way, the only way I got to see the ending was on YouTube. I couldn't defeat the final boss, even with the GameShark. Oh, and this is supposed to be a kids game =)Read full review
