    This game is great for all the scooby doo fanatics out there! If you've watched all the show and don't have your fill of Shaggy and Scooby, there's no better place but this game to hear more of their jokes.
    It's also a real treat for all stealth game fans, because this game is up there with the best of them.

    I loved this game. Its actually pretty funny and decent, the one item that i did not like in this game is that in the wild west and in the swampy bayou, the Mine cart and the motorcycle levels, they are a pain but really damn fun!

    This game is entertainment for the entire family. The clue and mysteries are fun to solve. My 5 children all love this game.

    It's me again, the person who rated Daredevil. Maybe you haven't reviewed that one yet. I hope you don't hate me. This is an interesting conversation isn't it? I feel like I'm really getting to know you now. Do you like Spongebob Squarepants? I do. He rules.

    Visually, this looks and sounds like the real thing. But the gameplay is much too simplistic even by kids
    standards

    Simple mechanics for the player to get a hand of the game, a cheesy and predictable yet entertaining mystery plot and the Scooby Doo characters.
    All of the essence of the classic Scooby Doo cartoon is perfectly added on here. Which makes it a perfect game based on a cartoon, but since it's based on a bland cartoon, the game's bland as well.

    Top Scooby-Doo Game on PS2. New gameplay system and interesting levels. Great for kids. I don't understand why the rating is 55.

    Mystery Mayhem offers ex-stoners and kids of all ages a multi-episode mystery for the ages by pretty much reinventing the old Genesis "Ghosbusters" in 3D, only with all the extra refinements 3D affords. [Mar 2004, p.59]

    The videogame resembles the cartoon so well that I instinctively reach for the remote to change the channel. Hey, look, there's a great show on the making of mop handles.
  3. Mystery Mayhem does a fine job of capturing the feeling and atmosphere of the beloved TV series, but the overly simplistic gameplay is where the game falls short.
