Introduction
The video game world is an ever-expanding universe full of exciting forms of entertainment. It has the ability to evolve with time as technology permits. One of the things that had a harder time evolving is the form of media called television. Television may receive new programs each year but after a show is over, it ceases to grow and becomes a figment of the past. This does not seem to apply to the ever so strong franchise called Scooby Doo. The show and merchandise is still fresh in everyone’s minds as if it were still the 60's. The problem is, television is a completely different medium. The cold hard facts are, that Scooby Doo does not translate well into a video game and until it does, the developers should look elsewhere for a bestseller.

Gameplay

The Graphics are the greatest aspect of this game. Why? Well mainly because it captures the cartoon in almost everyway. I mean the character models could be better but the developers succeeded in making a great visual presentation. The backgrounds are well detailed and the character animations are very fluid. They do a great job of showing each characters style of movement and actions. The mini-games are by far the most detailed aspect of the visuals, especially the water-ski' level. Overall the graphics hold up the score of an otherwise bleak game.


Story
The gameplay is basically the biggest weak point that this game has. It is overly simple at times and it can be overly difficult as well. The game is one of the shortest games I have ever seen or played for that matter. The gameplay tries to be more than a side-scroller by adding occasionally fun mini-games but it falls flat mainly because the game is so engraved in its set genre.
The game does have variety in levels and has an interesting set of twists but it does not translate the show into a good game. Overall it was a fifty, fifty chance and it got the bad end.


Graphics

The sound is a basic as can be. While the sound effects are excellent, the game fails on almost every possible way a game could in the music department. The music is too chirpy and seems to be trying to scare away it's core audience and the scores are very repetitive. The will leave many feeling uninterested. Overall the sound is split half and half.


Sound
Overall the game is not what it was expected to be. The sound effects and visuals cannot save the game because many games rely on the gameplay to keep gamers interested. In all honesty, this game does not have anything near what it takes to keep a gamer of any kind happy, not even it's younger core audience. Just do not buy this unless you are a hardcore Scooby fan.
