  • Summary: Do you have what it takes to save the neighborhood? The Monster House allows players to experience key moments of the movie as they uncover the mysteries of the house in order to save their neighborhood. Players also take on unique adventures that were inspired by the film. With three playable characters, fans of the film enjoy seeing the movie come to life in their living rooms. Explore a living, breathing house full of traps and mystery. Use water blasters to battle creatures created from a combination of different household objects. Spooky surprises and unexpected random events keep players constantly on their guard. Play "Thou art dead", the 2D arcade game that appears in the movie. [THQ]… Expand

    Performances by the movie cast (gotta love Skull's wisdom) and this is pretty much E-rated paradise. [Sept 2006, p.59]

    Monstrous creations that are just scary enough for third-graders make this a good substitute for grotesque grown-up survival horror. [Oct. 2006, p.88]

    Like many movie games, it lacks the shiny coat of polish that major game productions bring to the table, but for its intended audience, Monster House rises above much of its competition to deliver a fun game that is faithful in every way to its license.

    Excellent atmosphere notwithstanding, this third-person action game is hobbled by tedious combat and a number of dubious design problems.
