    What happened to Rare? I mean this game is fine but we made critical acclaimed games but now rare get mixed reviews and their games to be strange and generic.

    I can´t understand all the hate Grabbed By The Ghoulies had to face. Certainly this is by far not the best game the cult studio Rare has published, but it´s a lot of fun! Especially the atmosphere is odd and convincing. The gameplay and graphics take getting used to but playing Grabbed By The Ghoulies with some friends and beer guarantees a hilarious evening!

    This game has entertainment in it. It's a short adventure game with some challenges that has a good eplay value. Definitely worth a try!

    Took me a while to remember how this game was called, but now that I do, I'll surely give it another try.

    One of the most refreshing, fun and downright brilliant games I've played this year.

    Overall the greatest disappointments is the lack of any sense of exploration or accoplishment. And although the mansion is packed with wonders, there's no feeling of discovery since the game manoeuvres you neatly from one room to the next. It adds up to a world in which you never feel truly connected. [Christmas 2003, p.111]
