I rented this game for my 5 1/2 year old son, who loves Star Wars Lego. He seems to enjoy it. He does occasionally need help and it seems like you have to do the same thing OVER and OVER again to get to the next level. Very cute characters and I love that the characters say the lines on the screen, since my son cannot read yet and I can’t sit there and read everything to him. I also like that when the game pauses it tells you the objective of the level (kill all the monsters, or explore) this comes in handy when I need to help my son things out. There is usually a trail of Scooby snacks to lead you, which again is helpful when you don’t know which way to go. Overall, a cute and fun game and I would probably give it higher scores if I did not have to help sometimes with all the never ending monster killing scenes which tend to annoy me, and drag out the play time. I will probably end up buying it, with the hopes that I will not have to play that often.

Then you'll surely love this game as it captures the spirit of the popular animated series right down to the chase scenes and Scooby-snacks.

It gives you a unique chance to play as all 5 members of Mystery inc, but as a much younger stages and in 2 person team-ups.Each level is design to fit that member of the gang and it's gameplay is very easy ways for younger players to understand.

The stages are Split up into two ways...Story mode and Explorer mode, it's Explorer mode that you have to use if you want to get more goodies after playing the levels the first time in Story mode.

Like all Scooby games there are monsters that you can beat through the ways of combat, as it split into two ways: long Range (Shaggy, Velma and Fred) to Melee (Scooby And Daphne). However, in the game you'll collect special costumes that the gang can use in that level, and that you can buy later after you complete that level. Each costume has a unique ability that you can use to help you defeat more monster foes.

Young or old, if your a fan of Scooby-doo, then this is the game for you.

I bought this game for my son prior to any reviews with more than a little bit of trepidation, since a lot of Wii games have held no long term interest for him. I’m very glad I did. The game play is smooth, there is just the right amount of spookiness, and much of the annoying parts of gaming (there is no starting over at a saved spot; no limited amount of time; no do-or-die jumps) that I — let alone an eight year old get frustrated at. The play is also not without social value — I’m reaching, I know. You play both boy and girl characters and everyone has a special move that is needed during the game, Only cartoony monsters and robot get hurt, etc.

I have only two beefs: there are only 4 episodes, so I’m hoping for a quick sequel, and it wouldn’t have been too hard to change the clues gathered during game play each time so you would have different suspects be the villain and avoid knowing whodunit. This last point bothers my son not at all.

More than worth it.

Bought this for my 5-year old. He loves it and can play it quite well on his own (first story, at least). The voice acting is really good, and the graphics are surprisingly good as well, for the Wii. I would highly recommend this.
