 Don't let the reviews fool you!!! This IS a FUN game!!! August 19, 2004

After reading the review that this game recieved I have to admit I was a bit taken back about purchasing it.I have a 5 year old Son who absolutely loved the first game (Night of 100 Frights So I thought I might take a chance and purchase the follow-up for Him for His birthday.I have to tell you I honestly think I like this one better than the first one!!! The Game is set up to be 5 different episodes that intertwine and eventually come together at the end to reveal the answer to the on-going mystery ( but isn't that what Mystery Inc was all about anyway?). The graphics in my opinion are just as good as the first game and the story lines are much better put together.The fact that you can play as Shaggy or Scooby and switch back and forth at any given time is a great bonus!!!In this game you are more set on looking for clues to solve a on going mystery ( much like the actual cartoon itself) unlike the first game where it had more of a Mario Bros type feeling to it (jumping constantly and bouncing on the bad guys heads!)The five or six bonus mini games are definately challeging and the villians are great!I enjoyed the first game for the simple reason that you got to see alot of Scooby's old Foes, but the game had alot of frustrating points to it.This one is not as hard but has it's moments of challenge.Honestly the only draw-back I can see from completing this game is there is no Don Knotts present, but then again there is also no Don Adams or Jonathan Winters either(Thank Goodness!)For those of you out there who are die-hard Scooby fans or your Kids are, this is in My opinion a great game for you both to enjoy!! Give this one a chance and you decide how YOU feel about it. I personally think you won't be dissapointed!

Night of 100 Frights was really cool -- my 5 year old and I (over 40) had the best time playing over and over and over. Mystery Mayhem, well, it's a mystery ... how/why it ever got made... the graphics are poor, story line/presentation is lame, no excitement, no challenge, even my 5 year old played for about an hour and then looked very sad, dejected, disappointed, and hasn't returned since. (Can I get a refund?) I suggest you go blow spit bubbles before buying this game, it will be more fun. Trust me.
 It's not that bad, but not as fun as 100 Frights..... April 13, 2004

Mystery Mayhem is not THAT bad, but no it's not as fun as Night of 100 Frights. If you're considering Mystery M. but have not played N.of 100 Frights please start with N. 100 F. first!!! Rent Mystery Mayhem because you can probably finish it during the rental period, unless you have cheats for 100 Frights I doubt you'll be able to rent once & finish.I'm a female in my mid 20 and I'm not a serious gamer, Mystery Mayhem is not all that challenging but finding all the goodies is time consuming enough to keep my interest. If you like the following girly kiddie games then rent don't by Mystery Mayhem: Monopoly, the Mario Parties, Shrek Party, any Mario Nintendo game, Simpson's Hit & Run and Road Rage. Night of 100 Frights is a masterpiece compared to Mystery Mayhem, but M.M. is not that bad.
 Scooby-Doo Where Are You??? March 23, 2004

If you are older than 6 years of age this game is not for you. After playing Scooby Doo Night of 100 frights I couldn't wait for the next release from THQ. Afer spending my $40 I discovered that I could have waited after all. The game poses very little challenge and becomes boring very quickly.
Not Nearly As Fun as Night of 100 Frights March 14, 2004

This is a rather poor version of Scooby Doo. I bought the GameBoy Advance version and stopped at the fourth level--it was very two-dimensional, and this game is almost the same.Some of the game is limited to side-scrolling and going to various doors, and it looks like the authors did not put very much time, money, or energy into making this Scooby Doo as fun to play or exciting as Night of 100 Frights. I was waiting readily for another Scooby Doo but was really disspointed to spend $40 on this version that is almost a port fo the GameBoy Advance version (it has some 3-D levels and the puzzles are harder, but it isn't that good). If you don't have Night of 100 Frights, then get that one over this title. You will have a better gaming experience. This game requires you to press a certain button countless times to capture ghosts and it's the same throughout the entire game. It gets really boriing and tiring on the fingers to take 30 hits to capture one ghost. How original (sarcasm). I don't recomment this game--save your money. The authors certainly did and it shows. Trust me.
