"This is one scooby doo game that ISN'T worth buying"

Start Screen: A lot of people judge the game on what they see on the starting screen. This isn't much, but it's ok. You've got the traditional scooby doo music, which is a hit with everyone. You've got a some cool text saying the title in colours that DON'T clash. You've got the whole gang running on the spot, but not much more which is why I give the starting screen: 5/10

Music: Wow! Everybody in the world should be able to recognize the scooby doo music. It's extremely catchy and you always find yourself humming along but it is a bit repetitive. The in-game music isn't that good either but I think that the music is a high point which is likely to give the game a higher score. Like many people, I'd give this a good score because I love all the scooby doo things. I rate the music: 8/10

Graphics: The close up versions of the characters are very good graphics, and move in a flexible way. The in-game graphics are far away but relatively good and the house is pretty cute for a haunted mansion. The way the characters move, is also really good because they move the limbs, not just walking like robots. The house has many rooms, all with great decor but greatly decorated graphics. If they were to make another Game Boy Colour Scooby Doo game with thee type of graphics, I'd probably buy it. That's why I give the graphics: 7/10

Gameplay: I think this game lacks on the potential thrill of the gameplay. The walking takes a long time so I think I'd be better to have a running mode. I like the idea of using your brain to collect items and use them. But, the idea that you've spent half an hour looking for something and still can't find it gets a bit annoying. You can talk to all the other people and you can interact with items in rooms, even if you can't pick them up. I think that was a good idea and the actual game plot isn't that bad. Running around, using your brain and playing this game. Nevertheless, this game I completed within the first day of owning it, so I don't recommend it to buy. I also like that you've got the option to change characters. That was a great idea. That is why I give the gameplay: 6/10

Overall Score: Considering everything I've said about this game, the overall score would be something like this: 6 out of 10!
