    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.

    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.

    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.
