   Scooby-Doo was the main focus of my entire life until I was 8. I loved it so much I would think about it at all times, I just wanted to liveScooby-Doo was the main focus of my entire life until I was 8. I loved it so much I would think about it at all times, I just wanted to live in the show's universe. My dad surprised me by buying a PS2 in 2005 and my sister and I were allowed to go choose our very own video game. At the store that I went into my eye immediately caught Night of 100 Frights, for I had played it at a friends house a year earlier and it was the first 3D platformer I had ever seen as the only games I had played before were 2D Scooby games on my Gameboy Advance SP, and educational games on my school's PC. I brought it home and it cemented itself as my favorite game of all time, even to this day. As a fan of the show, it masters everything. The music composed for the game doesnt appear in any of the show's episodes but it should, as it sounds so inherently Scooby and perfect that I would buy a soundtrack album to this game if it existed. The graphics were phenomenal for a game made in 2002, and the only issue is that the camera angle is fixed and can be disorienting, and the load times between every room become repetitive. The art and theme of each level is straight out of 1969 and captures the mystery and eeriness of the original show beautifully. The variety to the levels is huge, there are hedge mazes, caves, shipwrecks, dungeons, graveyards, and the largest mansion ever to be built with a Super Secret Lab underneath. The voice acting is awesome, somehow the crew convinced the legendary Don Knotts to make his only video game appearance ever, and he does it fantastically-appearing at random times in impossible locations with hilariously kooky comments. The variety of fan-favorite enemies is large, and the boss fights even have their own songs created specifically for the game! The difficulty is high for a game designed for children, and the game does not hold your hand and tell you where to go which was brutal for my 7 year old self, but increased the playtime drastically as I had never really played videogames before and discovering everything in this huge world took about a year as I was only allowed to play for a limited amount of time on weekends. I thought I would never finish the game, but it does have an ending unfortunately. It has a pretty good plot that always had me guessing who would disappear next. Did I mention Tim Curry voices the main antagonist-The Mastermind? Yes he does! Buy this game now and play it, I will treasure this forever as it was the game that began my love of video games, and is so lovingly accurate to the show. Cannot recommend enough, also check out Battle for Bikini Bottom by the same studio, it does exactly to Spongebob what this did for Scooby Doo. Heavy Iron cannot do wrong.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game so much its just like battle for bikini bottom obviously the same developer & publisher but anyway, i like how you can explore where ever you want and figure out where you need to go next also the collectibles aren’t really that hard. The 100% Scooby snacks are fun to challenge yourself to earn concept arts after you get all of them which i like. The boss fights are really enjoyable to do but kinda of short but it’s perfect the way it is.… Expand

   Maybe for its time it was good. But as for today? this is trash its garbage. It has really bad (like shockingly bad platforming), and shockingMaybe for its time it was good. But as for today? this is trash its garbage. It has really bad (like shockingly bad platforming), and shocking camera angels. If you absolutely love scooby doo, or have some nostalgia in this one, i guess you may like this just on that alone. But as for it being a average to a good game? It is not..… Expand
