    This remake of the Atari classic Haunted House leaves the scares and fun gameplay in 1981.

    Fun up to a point, the exploration eventually grows tired before the end. [Jan 2011, p.89]

    What it all boils down to is a game of hide and seek while trying to avoid various baddies. The game is great for a younger crowd, but the simplicity and monotony will even wear on their nerves after a while.

    But most of the time, you're simply playing furniture inspector in an environment that's about as spooky as an episode of Scooby-Doo. [Nov 2010, p.71]

    Hounted house is a dungeon crawler for kids, but it lacks one important thing. Entertainment. The gameplay is way to shallow and you're better off spending your hard earned money on something else.
