Fun, somewhat confusing [Posted on 2005-07-21]
I rented this and once I started, really liked it. There were puzzles that made you think and figure out the "clues", but ultimately I got stuck on the balcony roof and couldn't find my way out before it was due back. :P Great scenes, music, and SCOOBY!
I reccommend the second Scooby game.

Scooby-Doo: "Mom Friendly" [Posted on 2005-08-30]
If you are looking for a great, easy and entertaining game for ALL ages...this is it!!! I am a video game challenged MOM and I am also extremely careful of what my 4 1/2 year old is exposed to. I bought "Mystery Mayhem" first and LOVED it. We recently bought "Night of 100 Frights" and have a hard time not taking it over after giving a little "help". This is a perfect game for everyone in the family (including Moms). It helps to improve eye-hand coordination, following directions, concentration and paying attention....not to mention there is not a lot of violence and blood and guts!!! It's Scooby-Doo! You can't go wrong with this one! - Choosy Moms Choose Scooby-Doo!!!

Scooby Doo Night of 100 frights is absolutly Brillient!!! I came home from school every night for a week wanting to play this game! The Great inventions scooby collects coupled with the tough but fun levels make this the game for anyone over 6. The monsters, bosses, vidio clips, extras, levels and scooby snacks are great. The different areas are brill.Its challenging and ADDICTIVE!!! YOU HAVE TO GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!

Great Graphics With Huge Levels...But Frustrating At Times [Posted on 2005-11-23]
Once again, Scooby-Doo and the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang have been called upon to solve a bizarre mystery in a spooky place. Daphne's long-time friend, Holly, desperately needs their help. Very strange things have been happening in and around her family home, Mystic Manor. Holly's uncle, the famous inventor Professor Alexander Graham, lives in the mansion, which overlooks a small fishing village. The people from the village have all packed up their belongings and left town, because the whole area has been completely taken over by MONSTERS. Ack! Worst of all, Professor Graham has mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights has dozens of levels within the Mystic Manor, outside on the grounds, and in the fishing village. Those familiar with Scooby-Doo will get a kick out of the familiar monsters seen in the TV shows: the zombie ("It's a rombie!"), the Black Night, crazy space kooks, scarecrows, the green witch, Redbeard the Pirate, and more.

It's amazing at just how extensive this game is. There are levels out on the water, on ships, in hedge mazes, on mountains, in secret passages, on piers, within various rooms in Mystic Manor, etc. You can swing from chandeliers (and see the flames flicker out in wisps of smoke!), jump holes in the floor, smash items for Scooby snacks (which help with courage!), navigate conveyer belts (very tricky!), maneuver on moving objects and so on. You can also get cool power ups like rubber boots (which helps Scooby walk across sticky surfaces), helmets (which helps you head smash enemies or break through barries), plunger/suction cups (which help on slippery surfaces), an umbrella (to float long distances and catch updrafts) and more.

Along the way, you can collect monster tokens which will unlock something special in the Monster Gallery.

The great thing about this game is that you can access a map and go to places you've been before through a Warp Gate. Scooby and the Gang look realistic, as does the villians and landscape. It's like playing an episode of Scooby-Doo in many respects!

However, many parts are downright difficult. When I was trying to navigate Scooby on a series of ship masts, it took me HOURS to get through the maze. I had to land on a particular mast JUST right in order to get to the next one. I've been stuck at 75% for well over a year now because even though I can paralyze a space kook with bubble gum, allowing me to jump on its head in order to get to higher places, I simply CANNOT get the correct angle to jump on an overhead plank to grasp the chandeliers to free the keys. (Whew!). Because a lot of the game play is unforgiving, it becomes frustrating to play after awhile. Had Night of 100 Frights been a *bit* easier, I would have given it 5 stars.

If you're a fan of Scooby-Doo and love free-roaming game play, Night of 100 Frights has massive levels with great graphics and hours upon hours of game play. Just know that if you're the type that doesn't use cheats (like me) you may become very frustrated at some levels. I'd love to finish the level I'm on so I can proceed to the end of the game, but after a year of trying on and off, I don't think I'll ever make it.

Had to quit towards the end because of impossible jumps, very discouraging.
