Scooby-Doo Mystery for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Scooby-Doo Mystery

It's a trial and error, I mean, point and click adventure


Genre: adventure - point n click

Publisher: Acclaim Entertainment

Year: 1995

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

What can I say, it's a point and click game. Either you love them or you hate them. I find them terribly boring. The cursor moves fast enough and you move with the d-pad so that's nice.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

There are two mysteries to solve. If you use a guide each mystery takes about 20 mins to complete. I don't dare wonder how long it would take without a guide. Still there are a lot of fun scripted events to experience and I enjoyed the experience.


Theme Score: 5

Theme Notes:

Very true to the source material. Daphne, Fred, and Velma disappear immediately leaning Shaggy and Scooby to dope around. I found myself really enjoying being inside a Scooby Doo episode. Way more fun than it should be.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Impressive sprites and animation. Seriously good stuff. Even the background and foreground artwork is very good. There's a lot of animations to boot which again just like the cartoon.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Again some impressive stuff that matches the source material. Not great voice samples but that's to be expected.


Overall Score: 56

Review ID: 1219
