I’m not going to lie when I say I started playing this game to make fun of it. I thought it would be another Casper situation and just be a humongous pile of trash. Luckily the game was actually really fun. Starting with the presentation, it’s OK. It’s nothing worth writing home about really. The music is OK if a little generic. The graphics are fine for the time with the models being decent and the environment being pretty good. It does a fine job representing the world of the classic cartoon. however when it comes to actually playing the game it’s not half bad. Scooby controls with a decent sense of speed and weight and it’s really quite fun to control. He also has a pretty diverse moves that and ways to dispel enemies, which makes fights more engaging while at the same time meaning enemies can be designed more varied. The levels of them selves although short, have some pretty neat secrets and sometimes actually made me think about how to reach an area. The bosses range from OK to a boss around halfway through the game that’s actually extremely fun. I also really enjoyed the collectathon aspect of this game. Getting different snacks allowed you to increase your health, getting clues allowed you to open up different areas of the small open world in between each separate platforming level, and getting all of the trap pieces allow you to read up on the history of each monster featured in the game. The fact that it included the voice actors from the show was also really nice as well, I recognized everyone from that era of the shell from when I was a kid. Overall it’s a pretty solid package if a little short which is why I ended up grading it a little harsh.
