Summary: Good!
Review: I thought it would be just a little bit better though... The graphics are funny but very well done. Its an entertaining game for anyone of any age. Its good a cool cartoon feature too. If you like scooby, you'll want this. But, don't be suprised if your a little dissapointed. For example, you don't really "solve" the mystery on your own. You find items that show you the answer. ENJOY!

Summary: Wish I could give more
Review: I've been a Scooby Fan forever, and couldn't wait to get my hands on this interactive game, the demo of which I had seen impressing me. Sadly though, despite a pretty accurate graphic detail the game is just too easy, and quickly loses it's appeal. The turn taking becomes frustrating rather quickly, and despite it's claimed multiple ending possibilities, this game won't come out of the box often. Good if you have younger children, but little for teens or older. Sorry Scooby, but this game could have and should have been better.

Summary: Scooby-Doo and friends help a couple in need of help!
Review: If you are wondering why I am giving this 4 stars instead of my normal 5 stars, is because I think the computer players are smart, if you don't want them to be. Scooby-Doo and his pals, Fred, Daphne, Velma & Shaggy run into another mystery when thier mystery machine breaks down in front of the Gobs, a couple that is in trouble because they had to close down the park because the fun park phantom scared away thier guests.

At first, Mr. Gob thinks they are there for the park. So Mr. Gob strikes a deal, with Shaggy, Daphne, Fred & Velma that if they can find out who the phantom is he will fix thier mystery machine. So here is the areas of the park. Fun House, Midway, Log Flume, Ferris Wheel, Bumper Car, Pirate Ship, Roller Coaster, Merry-Go-Round and the Miniature World.

Now when you begin the six suspects are assigned to the areas of the park. And your character(s) are aslo assigned to an area(s) of the park. The suspects are a security guard, a magician, a farmer, a groundskeepr, a clown, and a banker. You'll find that these people all have a reason why they would like to see the park closed. Thier are 9 areas of the park and 6 will have a suspect in them where they are suposed to be for the whole game.

Summary: Fun!
Review: Purchased for 10 year old. After he and his 13 year old brother figured the game out, they have been enjoying this game. Challenging for 13 year old but not too hard for the10 year old. 1-4 players, with or without computer, and a time limit option allows everyone in our familly to enjoy this game. Well worth the money, in my opinion.

Summary: Join Scooby and the Gang to Solve the Mystery!
Review: Scooby Doo fans should take right to this game where you and Scooby (choose from either Shaggy, Freddy, Daphne, or Velma) are out searching for clues to find who is the Fun Park Phantom! Find clues, ask mysterious characters for help, and of course there are Scooby Snacks! For older fans any single game shouldn't take too long. For the younger fans (under 10) this can be a really fun challenge in problem solving that shouldn't take more than an hour to solve. The game is point and click and has the appearance of an aerial view of the cartoon. And for the most part it does look like the cartoon. The video sequences (at least on my computer) are very poorly dubbed and all in all the game has limited replay value due to the small number of suspects. But if you're a Scooby Doo fan the price is nice for the entertainment and nostalgic value this game does have, putting you right smack dab in the middle of a genuine Scooby Doo mystery! Go get it now!

Summary: Back to the Stone Ages
Review: This game was visually nothing. It really is just a tedious click, move a few steps, and click again to move a few more. The view is from overhead. You have to collect the correct combo of 3 pieces and go to the correct location to use them. With 27 possible pieces and 9 locations, it was just a real pain. No visual excitement. It must have been one of the first video games ever written.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Think before you buy this program
Review: Though this has a similar title to the excellent game Scooby Doo Phantom of the Knight, this program is very different in style. The gang compete against each other to get the phantom (which doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you think about the show), and it gets so tiresome after awhile because it is played almost like a board game. You have to either play with a friend, or against the computer and end up doing a lot of waiting for others to take their turns. Fun for a little bit, but very tedious after awhile. The point is, this program is not terrible, but it is not what you would expect with the Scooby Doo name. It is a competitive game, whereas the Scooby Doo Phantom of the Knight is an adventure with the whole gang working together to solve a mystery together.
