    While this design isn't the most praiseworthy effort from a technical standpoint, the bottom line is that it's still a pleasant ride – the frustrations aren't enough to foil the fun factor.

    Simple and short and not perfect. But it’s also fun, clever, and engaging, and will be worth every penny to a die-hard Scooby fan.

    The scenes are a good incentive for getting through the more-frustrating and less-rewarding parts of the game. [Dec. 2006, p.113]

    Sony's handheld buries the DS alive with better graphics and overall gameplay. The DS version plays and looks more like a Game Boy Advance side-scroller with text to read instead of voice acting to listen to, lifeless graphics and simplistic levels.

    This one of the worst games I've ever played on the DS. There's nothing for fans of the series. They strip the cartoon into skeletal framing. There's nothing for gamers; too many bugs and too little variety.

    The platforming's stupidly fiddly, the driving is very dull, and the obstacle dodging is the worst sort of touch-screen bodging nonsense. [Dec 2006, p.54]

    Sure, it has some faults, particularly in the area of graphics and sound, but when a company decides to rather focus on making the game actually fun instead of making the graphics superb and forgetting all about the gameplay then I can't complain too much!

    With only five cases, it is an incredibly short game and can be finished in the span of a few hours. However, besides the aggravating Scooby stages, it is fairly well designed and manages to do a fairly good job of capturing the feel of the cartoon series.

    Solid and dependable, Scooby’s latest outing on DS almost acts as a training game, slowly introducing the player to rules and concepts games have thrived on for generation after generation.

    A fundamentally broken game, riddled with graphical glitches and bizarre bugs, that doesn't even have the good grace to be a fascinating failure. For all its yelps and screeches, it's deathly dull to play and so there's no incentive to suffer its idiosyncrasies.

    All in all Who's Watching Who? is another disappointing video game entry for Scooby and the gang, but this fact is unlikely to affect sales to the kids that lap up anything with Scooby's face on it.
