Scooby-Doo Phantom of the Knight
Can you help Fred, Velma, and the gang solve the mystery behind the Phantom Knight and his dragon? Scooby-Doo: Phantom of the Knight offers laughs, pretty good animation, and a series of challenging puzzles to entertain young children for hours. Since the villain and clues change with each new adventure, replay is just as much fun as the very first game. Set up much like an episode of the classic television series, the program puts players in an old, castle-themed amusement park to explore for clues to its haunting. Some of the scarier areas will require feeding Scooby or Shaggy to coax them in; snacks can be obtained by several tests of skill along the way. Once enough clues have been collected, players decide who's to blame, then check to see if the guess is right in an action sequence that closes play. Three levels of difficulty are available, and each offers increasing pressure in the form of red-herring clues and harder challenges to acquire Scooby Snacks. Installation is very simple, and the CD-ROM comes with several Scooby-related goodies like a printable poster and online previews of upcoming movies. (Ages 5 to 10) --Rob Lightner Scooby Doo: Showdown in Ghost Town
Scooby Doo: Showdown in Ghost Town pits Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Greatest-of-all-Danes Scooby against the Faceless Rider, a mysterious spirit (or is it?) haunting the town of Los Burritos. Thankfully, they're all back with the same groovy clothes, lingo and music--plus the goofy humour--that made their 70s TV show so much fun to watch. To get to the bottom of what's spooking Los Burritos, the group must explore the town and talk to everyone who crosses their path, all the while looking out for clues to help them solve the mystery at hand. To uncover the right information, players must perform semi-educational activities such as setting a clock to the proper time, putting a puzzle together and recalling details from the game itself. There are also fun challenges throughout (Scooby takes on the Faceless Rider in a pie fight to the finish, and later plays a mean game of horseshoes) to earn Scooby Snacks. These prove important when you want Shaggy and Scooby to enter an especially scary area--you'll have to bribe them with Scooby Snacks to get them to cooperate. The fun activities and puzzles, paired with all the crime solving, push children to use problem-solving skills and deductive reasoning. Who knew Scooby could make you smarter? In addition to being just plain retro fun, the game offers some help in solving each mystery (we found several in our gameplay): click on the Mystery, Inc. van to review the clues you've collected, check your Scooby Snack count or ask Scrappy for help. And to keep the games challenging as kids grow (or perhaps for adults to enjoy), players can select from three "spookiness" levels that increase in difficulty (Ages 5 and up) --Leah Ball

Kids enjoyed it but limited March 14, 2006

Kids liked the characters (reason for buying it) but the game itself is a bit confusing. Got stuck on certain levels and could not find a way forward. Kids soon got fed up with only being able to reach a certain part. I even tried finding out how to carry on but to no avail.
 Fun once, then boring January 21, 2005

My daughter played each level through once, and then retired the game. It only appears for visiting children. After the challenges of Zoombinis,(one of the best games ever) this seems dull as dull once you've seen it all.

I bought this Scooby Doo Double Pack for as a present for my seven-year-old brother. The games are excellent value for money and continue to provide entertainment for my brother. The Phantom of the Knight is set in a medieval castle. Your task is to direct the Scooby Gang around the castle, finding clues on your way in order to discover the secret of the Phantom Knight. The second game, Showdown in Ghost Town follows a similar format to the first, but is set in a deserted ghost town. Here uncovering the mystery of the Faceless Rider is your goal. These games are challenging and funny (Scooby's pie fight at high noon being my personal favourite). The mystery changes each time you play, so you don't have to worry about getting bored. My little brother and I would highly recommend this spooktacular Scooby Doo double pack.
