Inspired by the both the movie and the ride, Haunted Mansion's environments feature unique puzzles, secret passageways, and plenty of areas for you to run, jump, fight, and climb your way through the mansion. There's no turning back now. Expand

  1. It's like Disney's fantastic ride - sure, you can sometimes see the seams and bolts showing, but what a ride it is anyways. [Dec 2003, p.128]
  2. It can be too repetitive at times and too easy for gamers looking for challenge. However, the spooky theme and familiar Disney settings will make Haunted Mansion an enjoyable diversion for many.
  3. The game expertly blends physical—mostly platforming—challenges with cerebral puzzles and, in the process, keeps players guessing throughout.
  4. It's downright spooky how well this one turned out. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.87]

    This game is very solid...a lot more so than I would have expected. I rented it the other day but it has quickly moved to my "must buy" list!

    While I'm not as enthusiastic about this game as the people below, I do agree it's an unexpected gem. The game steals it's idea from Luigi's Mansion. You go around and suck ghosts out of their hiding spots in a cartoony mansion. The scares are the fun kind you might expect in something like Scooby Doo. While the game's surprisingly polished for an obscure title, the gameplay is pretty repetitive. Expand
