This is slightly tricky for younger children and no small feat for even older ones! To win the game, you must capture the Phantom and discover his true identity. To do this, you must use "action points." Whenever you pick up a piece, speak to a person or move from one area to another, you use some amount of points. The basic gist of the game is to find clues and trap pieces to capture the Phantom. You must give him a Scooby Snack to get him to help you find clues and be a companion. Scooby-Doo, obviously the star, is not a playable character but rather an assistant in performing activities. The game's appearance is much like the cartoon series and kids who watch the show on television will be impressed with the similarities. This is not terribly unmanageable but does get slightly annoying after the third time or so. The Phantom chases you and the only way to escape is to manage a sequence of buttons. Every so often, you run into the Phantom or some other potential suspect.
At times, it was necessary to press the button three or four times to complete these simple tasks.įurther adding to the confusion are the random occurrences. I was unable to move them smoothly to the right spot or pick up the right item without some degree of difficulty. I could never get Shaggy, Velma or any other character under my control to do as I wanted.
The point-and-click interface used in the game tended to get on my nerves. The method with which South Peak Interactive designers chose to accomplish this is at times a bit confusing but also slightly entertaining. The original introduction is also included in the game for those who enjoy the nostalgic touch.īasically, your mission, playing as any member of the gang (your choice), is to find out who has been haunting the fun park and causing its closure. The opening introduction to Scooby-Doo! Mystery of the Fun Park Phantom is entertaining and features animation that could be found on the actual cartoon show. The game is a mixed bag, succeeding in some areas while falling short in others. It tries to capitalize on the somewhat regained popularity of Scooby-Doo and the gang by placing them in a new adventure. Scooby-Doo! Mystery of the Fun Park Phantom by South Peak Interactive is a fairly good game for children.
